About the 9101-1180
The 9101-1180 is a sinusoidal type brushless drive that has the ability to be paired with an Electro-Craft series motor. The drive can provide the motor with control and power. The motors that should be used with the 9101-1180 are from the F-series and S-series. They are the F-4030, S-3016, and S-4030.
The 9101-1180 possesses a chassis that is in an open style. Its internal circuitry is exposed next to the faceplate. The faceplate has several components that include connections and LEDs. There is a group of four LED indicator lights. There is one green and three red LEDs in this grouping. They will glow when the drive is running as it should or when it is not working properly. There are two terminal strips on the faceplate. One is in the top left corner and the other is in the bottom left corner. The one on top is for the external shunt while the bottom is for the motor connection and the DC bus. There are also three serial RS-232 connection ports. They are labeled P1-controller, P2-motor encoder, and P3-serial. There is a circulation fan on the bottom of this drive that helps to cool the internal circuitry of the drive.
