About ASD-A3-3043-M Delta Servo Driver 3000W
The Delta ASD-A3-3043-M is a high-performance
3000W (3.0 kW) AC servo drive from the
ASDA-A3 series, designed for precision motion control with built-in
CANopen communication. It operates on a
400V 3-phase power supply and is known for its high-speed response and advanced vibration suppression features.
Key Technical Specifications
- Model Number: ASD-A3-3043-M
- Rated Power Output: 3000 W (3.0 kW)
- Input Voltage: 400V AC, 3-Phase
- Communication Interface: Built-in CANopen (represented by the "-M" suffix)
- Encoder Support: 24-bit absolute type encoder for high-precision positioning.
- Bandwidth: 3.1 kHz, which allows for extremely fast system response times.
- Control Modes: Supports Position, Speed, and Torque control modes. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Performance Highlights
- Superior Accuracy: Compared to the older ASDA-A2 series, the A3 series offers finer grain control and improved accuracy, as noted by MISUMI.
- Vibration Suppression: Features advanced software for system diagnosis and automatic vibration suppression to maintain stability during high-speed operations.
- Compact Design: The drive and its matching motors are physically smaller than the previous A2 generation, helping to save cabinet space.
- Easy Tuning: Includes auto-tuning functions that simplify the PID gain adjustment process through Delta's ASDA-Soft software.
The Delta ASD-A3-3043-M serves as the "brain" and power stage for a high-precision motion control system. Its primary function is to convert low-power control signals into precise high-power electricity to drive a
3000W AC servo motor. [

Core Operational Functions
- High-Speed Control: Uses a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to achieve a 3.1 kHz bandwidth, resulting in extremely fast response times and shorter settling times for high-productivity machinery.
- Precise Positioning: Works with 24-bit absolute encoders to provide over 16 million pulses per turn, ensuring microscopic accuracy in movement.
- Advanced Motion Control: Features built-in E-CAM (Electronic Cam) and 99 sophisticated motion commands for complex tasks like homing, blending, and jump changes. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Specialized Intelligent Features
- Vibration Suppression: Employs a "creative algorithm" and advanced notch filters (up to 5 kHz) that automatically find and eliminate machine shaking without slowing down the operation.
- Auto-Tuning: Simplifies setup with a built-in wizard that optimizes machine performance and PID gains with minimal manual effort.
- Safety (STO): Includes a Safe Torque Off (STO) function to immediately cut power to the motor in emergencies while keeping the drive powered, ensuring operator safety. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6]
Network & System Integration
- Communication: The "-M" in the model name indicates built-in CANopen communication, allowing it to be easily integrated into industrial networks with PLCs and other controllers.
- System Diagnosis: Can monitor mechanical characteristics over time to detect machine wear and predict maintenance needs. [1, 3, 4]
The Delta ASD-A3-3043-M servo driver has a weight of approximately
1.7 kg (3.75 lbs). [

While the driver itself is relatively lightweight due to its compact high-end design, the total weight of your setup will depend on the associated motor and cables:
- Driver Weight: ~1.7 kg.
- Motor Weight: A compatible 3000W motor, such as the ECMC-EW1830 series, typically weighs around 16.1 kg (35.5 lbs).
- Total System: Expect a combined weight of roughly 18 kg for the primary drive and motor unit, excluding mounting hardware and cabling.
The dimensions for the Delta ASD-A3-3043-M 3000W servo driver, converted from the official metric specifications to inches, are approximately:
- Width: 4.13 inches (105 mm)
- Height: 9.45 inches (240 mm)
- Depth (Length): 7.17 inches (182 mm)
Mounting Clearance
For proper cooling and heat dissipation, Delta typically recommends leaving at least 2 inches (50 mm) of clearance above and below the drive and 0.4 inches (10 mm) between adjacent drives in your control cabinet.
