Description
📋 Product Overview
The KOLLMORGEN LB06565 is a SERVOSTAR CD SynqNet servo drive designed for closed-loop motion control applications that require high-speed communication between the drive and a SynqNet motion controller.
The CD SynqNet platform is based on the SERVOSTAR CD power stage, while its control section is specifically designed for SynqNet networking. Unlike a conventional standalone analog servo amplifier, the SynqNet version is designed primarily as a torque drive, with torque commands delivered from the SynqNet controller at high servo update rates.
The drive also provides dedicated motion-control I/O, including functions associated with limit switches, home positioning and brake control, together with general-purpose I/O. Encoder feedback is used for closed-loop motor control and can also support pulse-output functions for system-level motion coordination.
For replacement or spare-parts applications, the exact model and configuration should be checked against the existing drive before installation. The LB06565 is part of the broader SERVOSTAR CD family, but different CD and CD SynqNet variants can have different power-stage and control configurations.

The published CD SynqNet documentation confirms that the family was produced in both 300 V and 600 V power-stage versions. The 300 V version accepts single- or three-phase 110–230 VAC line-to-line power, while the 600 V version is designed for 380/480 VAC line-to-line systems. The exact LB06565 electrical configuration should therefore be confirmed from the drive nameplate and wiring documentation rather than assumed from the model number alone.
🔌 Operating Function
The LB06565 operates as part of a networked servo-control system rather than as an isolated motor amplifier.
A typical control path is:
Motion Controller → SynqNet Network → LB06565 Servo Drive → Servo Motor → Encoder Feedback → Drive / Controller
The SynqNet controller sends high-speed torque commands to the drive. The drive handles the motor power stage and closed-loop feedback while exchanging motion and status information with the controller.
The CD SynqNet design also supports function-specific inputs such as Home and Limit signals. This allows the drive to participate directly in machine homing, travel-limit protection and other motion-control functions.
🔧 Installation & Configuration
Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with industrial servo systems. The Kollmorgen documentation specifically warns that high voltage can create hazardous conditions and recommends following applicable electrical and safety regulations.
Before installation:
- Check the LB06565 model and hardware identification.
- Compare the replacement drive with the original unit.
- Confirm the power-stage voltage configuration.
- Verify the motor and feedback compatibility.
- Inspect all connectors for bent pins, oxidation or mechanical damage.
- Mount the drive securely inside the control cabinet.
- Provide the required protective earth connection.
- Connect the separate logic supply according to the applicable wiring diagram.
- Connect motor and feedback wiring.
- Connect the SynqNet communication cable to the correct network interface.
- Verify Home, Limit, Enable and Brake-related I/O wiring.
- Check all wiring before applying power.
Kollmorgen’s CD SynqNet installation procedure emphasizes proper cabinet mounting, earth grounding, user I/O wiring, motor/feedback connections and SynqNet communication before commissioning.
🧰 Maintenance Recommendations
Servo drives are sensitive to contamination, excessive heat, vibration and poor electrical connections. A practical maintenance routine should include:
- Inspect cooling paths and cabinet ventilation.
- Remove dust and conductive contamination from the drive area.
- Check power and signal connectors periodically.
- Inspect motor and feedback cables for mechanical damage.
- Check grounding and shield bonding.
- Look for discoloration or signs of overheating.
- Check for loose terminal or connector hardware.
- Back up drive configuration parameters where applicable.
- Record firmware and hardware revision information before replacing a drive.
- Keep a known-good spare available for critical production equipment.
Kollmorgen documentation also stresses proper grounding and bonding because good high-frequency grounding helps control electrical noise and improves system EMC performance.
❓ FAQ
Q1: What is the LB06565?
It is a KOLLMORGEN SERVOSTAR CD SynqNet servo drive intended for networked closed-loop motion-control systems.
Q2: Is it the same as a standard SERVOSTAR CD?
Not exactly. The CD SynqNet version uses the SERVOSTAR CD power stage but has a dedicated SynqNet control architecture.
Q3: Does it require a SynqNet controller?
For its intended networked operation, yes. The CD SynqNet architecture receives high-speed torque commands from the SynqNet controller.
Q4: Can I replace another SERVOSTAR CD with an LB06565?
Not automatically. The voltage class, feedback configuration, control interface and application wiring must be checked first.
Q5: What motor can be connected?
The compatible motor and feedback combination must be confirmed from the original machine configuration and Kollmorgen documentation. Do not connect a motor solely because its current rating appears similar.
Q6: What is the input voltage of LB06565?
Public information confirms multiple voltage classes within the CD SynqNet family, but the exact electrical configuration of an individual LB06565 should be verified from its nameplate and wiring documentation.
Q7: Is the drive suitable for multi-axis machines?
Yes. SynqNet was designed for networked motion-control architectures where multiple servo axes can be coordinated by a motion controller.

🏭 Application Summary
The KOLLMORGEN LB06565 is best suited to industrial motion systems where servo-axis control, encoder feedback and deterministic network communication are required. Its SynqNet interface makes it particularly relevant to machine architectures using a dedicated networked motion controller rather than a simple analog ±10 V command structure.
For replacement work, the safest approach is to match the complete drive identification, hardware revision, voltage class, motor feedback type, SynqNet configuration and machine-side I/O wiring before commissioning.
