Kollmorgen 04S-M60-8-PB S700 Servo Drive – 30A Cont / 60A Peak, PROFIBUS DP-V1, 8-Feedback Multi-Protocol

Product Overview

The Kollmorgen 04S-M60-8-PB​ is a digital servo drive from Kollmorgen's S700 series, engineered for high-performance motion control in demanding industrial automation cells. The model code decodes directly into capability: "04S" places it on the S700 fourth-generation hardware platform; "M60" designates a 60 A peak / ~30 A continuous current rating at 40 °C ambient; "8" indicates the multi-protocol feedback port supporting eight encoder/feedback types; and "PB" confirms the integrated PROFIBUS DP-V1 slave interface. This makes the Kollmorgen 04S-M60-8-PB​ a purpose-built drive for legacy and mid-life Siemens S7-300 / S7-400 / S7-1500 PROFIBUS-based lines where a high-current S700 is needed without migrating the cell to EtherCAT or PROFINET. Electrically, the Kollmorgen 04S-M60-8-PB​ accepts 3×400–480 V AC (±10%) main power and a 24 V DC control supply, delivering up to 30 A RMS continuous (60 A peak for ≤3 s) to matched AKM servo motors in the 4–7 frame range, covering roughly 3–11 kW continuous depending on winding. The PWM frequency is adjustable 4–16 kHz (default 8 kHz), allowing acoustic tuning in quiet environments or efficiency optimization under heavy load. A single multi-function feedback port handles EnDat 2.1/2.2, BiSS-C, Hiperface DSL, SinCos 1 Vpp, resolver, and Kollmorgen SFD among others—the "8" in the suffix meaning one hardware SKU covers nearly every feedback the S700 platform supports, simplifying spare holding. The Kollmorgen 04S-M60-8-PB​ integrates Safe Torque Off (STO) certified to SIL3 / PL e per IEC 61800-5-2, with 6 configurable digital inputs, 2 optically isolated digital outputs, 1 analog input, and front-panel USB plus RJ45 Ethernet service ports for commissioning via Kollmorgen WorkBench / KAS. Forced-air cooling via an internal fan, vertical-mount orientation with ≥100 mm top/bottom clearance, and IP20 cabinet-only rating round out the mechanical package at approximately 70 × 268 × 210 mm and 3.2 kg.

Main Features and Advantages

PROFIBUS DP-V1 native—no gateway tax.​ The “PB” suffix on the Kollmorgen 04S-M60-8-PB​ is the differentiator: the drive presents as a standard DP-V1 slave at up to 12 Mbps and consumes a GSD file from Kollmorgen’s library, meaning it drops straight onto a Siemens S7-300/400/1500 PROFIBUS rack without Anybus or Hilscher gateway hardware. For plants running mixed-age lines where the master PLC is locked to PROFIBUS for the next 5–8 years, the Kollmorgen 04S-M60-8-PB​ preserves the bus investment while still getting S700 current-loop performance—a key reason this SKU stays active on spare BOMs even as Kollmorgen pushes the AKD and now AKD2G platforms upstream.

Eight-feedback universal port.​ Most S700 variants lock to a specific feedback family (e.g., EnDat-only or Hiperface-only) via ordered suffix, but the “8” in Kollmorgen 04S-M60-8-PB​ signals the multi-protocol feedback port that auto-detects EnDat 2.2, BiSS-C, Hiperface DSL, SinCos 1 Vpp, resolver, SFD, and others. From a spare-parts manager’s view, this collapses 3–4 single-feedback SKUs into one: if a line has AKM motors with resolver on axis 1–2 and Hiperface DSL on axis 3–4, the same Kollmorgen 04S-M60-8-PB​ covers all of them. Commissioning just requires loading the correct motor-file in WorkBench; the hardware doesn’t change.

30/60 A current envelope in the narrow S700 form factor.​ At ~70 mm width, the Kollmorgen 04S-M60-8-PB​ delivers what normally requires 105–120 mm width in competitor drives of the same current class. That 30 A continuous / 60 A peak lets it serve AKM 4–7 frame motors in the 3–11 kW band—typical of printing-cylinder axes, converting unwind/rewind, packaging rotary turrets, and mid-size CNC servo spindles. The 4–16 kHz PWM adjustability is more than a spec-sheet nicety: dropping to 4 kHz on a large-inductance AKM winding reduces switching loss and heat; pushing to 12–16 kHz on a low-inductance winding tightens current-loop bandwidth for tighter following error. The ​ exposes this tunably, not as a fixed factory setting.

Embedded S700 motion & safety.​ Beyond the current loop, the ​ carries automatic inertia identification, anti-resonance filtering (notch + low-pass), gain scheduling by velocity/position region, and electronic cam table execution (firmware permitting) so the drive can offload the PLC on registration and phase-locked tasks. The STO SIL3 / PL e circuit is hardwired through dedicated terminals—no software stack required to achieve safe state, which matters on presses and flying-shear retrofits where the risk assessment mandates SIL3 but the legacy PLC doesn’t have PROFIsafe wired through. Front-panel USB for local laptop commissioning plus RJ45 Ethernet service port for remote KAS WorkBench access mean the ​ supports both truck-roll and remote-support workflows without add-on interface cards.
