Decoding the Model Number (Likely):
- SC203: Indicates a specific series or model within CTC’s servo drive line, likely a high-performance, compact drive.
- 100A: Denotes the continuous current rating of 100 Amps.
- 002IR: Suggests the feedback type. “IR” most likely stands for Incremental Encoder feedback. The “002” might indicate a specific resolution or number of encoder channels.
- 010: Often indicates the communication protocol. “010” commonly refers to CANopen.
- 01K: Typically signifies integrated safety features. “K” often denotes Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality.
- 05: Could indicate a specific firmware version, hardware revision, or other specific configuration detail.
