ETEL DSB 2S 124‑211E‑000H Digital Servo Amplifier

The ETEL DSB 2S 124‑211E‑000H is a compact, high‑performance digital servo amplifier designed for driving brushless AC servo motors in industrial automation, robotics, and motion control systems. It features advanced digital signal processing (DSP) technology for precise torque, velocity, and position control with low ripple and high dynamic response. The amplifier is part of ETEL’s DSB series, known for its ruggedness, efficiency, and ease of integration.

This model provides a continuous output current of up to 12 A (peak 24 A) from a 124 V DC bus, making it suitable for medium‑size servo motors in packaging machines, conveyor systems, and textile equipment. The amplifier supports a wide range of feedback devices including incremental encoders, absolute encoders (EnDat, BiSS), and resolvers. Its auto‑tuning capability simplifies commissioning and optimizes performance for varying load conditions.

The DSB 2S 124‑211E‑000H includes built‑in safety functions such as Safe Torque Off (STO) and Safe Stop 1 (SS1) to meet machine safety standards. Communication is handled via CANopen or RS‑232, enabling integration into higher‑level control networks. The amplifier also provides digital and analog I/O for external sensors, limit switches, and brake control.
