Main Features and Advantages
High-bandwidth performance with adaptive tuning:
The SERVOSTAR 610 S61000 employs a high-speed current loop (up to 16 kHz) and advanced auto-tuning that automatically identifies motor and load parameters. This ensures optimal PID settings without manual trial-and-error, delivering smooth motion even under varying inertia conditions—ideal for high-speed pick-and-place or web tensioning applications.
Multi-protocol flexibility for any architecture:
Unlike single-protocol drives, the SERVOSTAR 610 S61000 natively supports analog, step/direction, CANopen, and (with option card) EtherCAT. This allows machine builders to deploy the same hardware across different customer sites—whether integrating into a Rockwell Logix system via EtherCAT or a legacy PLC using ±10 V signals—reducing spare parts inventory and engineering complexity.
Integrated functional safety without external modules:
The built-in Safe Torque Off (STO) function in the SERVOSTAR 610 S61000 eliminates the need for external contactors or safety relays to disable motor torque. Certified to SIL 3 and Performance Level e, it enables rapid emergency stops while simplifying safety circuit design and reducing panel space.
Compact footprint with efficient thermal design:
Despite its 1.5 kW rating, the SERVOSTAR 610 S61000 occupies minimal panel space (approx. 100 × 180 × 150 mm). Its aluminum housing acts as a heat sink, and forced-air cooling is not required under normal conditions—lowering noise and maintenance compared to fan-cooled alternatives.
Seamless motor compatibility and setup:
When paired with Kollmorgen AKM servo motors, the SERVOSTAR 610 S61000 automatically reads motor data via the feedback cable (e.g., EnDat), preloading correct parameters during startup. This “plug-and-play” behavior drastically reduces commissioning time and minimizes configuration errors.
Application Field
In high-speed packaging machinery, the SERVOSTAR 610 S61000 drives film feed, cut-off, and sealing axes with microsecond-level synchronization, ensuring consistent package quality at rates exceeding 200 units per minute. Its fast current loop suppresses mechanical resonance in long shafts, while STO provides safe access during jam clearing—critical for meeting OSHA and ISO 13849 requirements.
For converting and printing lines handling delicate materials like foil or paper, the
SERVOSTAR 610 S61000 enables precise tension control through master-slave electronic line shafting over CANopen. The drive’s low velocity ripple (<0>
In collaborative robotics and small assembly cells, the SERVOSTAR 610 S61000 powers joint axes with smooth torque delivery and rapid response to position commands. When combined with EtherCAT, it supports coordinated multi-axis motion synchronized to vision triggers or conveyor pulses—enabling flexible, high-mix production with minimal changeover time. Its compact size also makes it suitable for cabinet-constrained OEM equipment in medical device or semiconductor tooling applications.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparation: Before installing the SERVOSTAR 610 S61000, ensure adequate clearance (minimum 50 mm above and below) for natural convection cooling. Mount the drive vertically on a standard 35 mm DIN rail within an IP54-rated enclosure. Verify that the AC supply matches the nameplate rating (170–265 V AC) and includes proper fusing and EMI filtering. Use shielded motor and feedback cables, grounding the shield at the drive end only to minimize noise coupling.
Maintenance recommendations: The SERVOSTAR 610 S61000 contains no fans or consumable parts, requiring no routine maintenance. However, periodically inspect terminal tightness (torque: 0.6 N·m) and check for dust accumulation on the heatsink surface—excessive buildup can cause thermal derating. Monitor diagnostic LEDs for fault codes (e.g., overvoltage, overtemperature); most issues can be resolved via parameter adjustments in Kollmorgen WorkBench. If replacement is needed, the SERVOSTAR 610 S61000 stores key motor and tuning parameters in non-volatile memory, allowing quick transfer to a spare unit.
