In "2007 Delta Industrial Automation New Product Presentation", the presenter of AC servo drives and motors introduced ASDA-A2, the new-generation and high-resolution network-type AC servo drive.

ASDA-A2 features:
1. High-resolution encoder: The 20-bit incremental encoder is the most suitable for machinery requiring precise positioning. Besides, ASDA-A2 supports absolute encoders, satisfying all kinds of applications in position control.
2. Network-type control structure: Apart from the standard Modbus communication, ASDA-A2 also supports CANopen (1M bps) and FlexRay (10M bps), which are the requirements for high-speed network in the global industrial control industry. The hardware interface, RJ45 ports, is able to achieve multi-axis parallel high-speed control.
3. Slim appearance: The overall width of ASDA-A2 is 40% thinner than ASDA-A, supporting parallel installation of many ASDA-A2s, which saves you a lot of space.
4. Strong internal position modes: ASDA-A2 is designed with enhanced standard internal position mode in ASDA-A, offering a “position control editor”. The original 8 points of internal position registers have increased to 64 points, and digital input increased to 14 points. The position control is upgraded from the simple point-to-point motion to speed variation between two points and even jumping of different points. All these functions have responded to our client’s every request for a servo drive.
5. Electronic cam editor: ASDA-A2 offers electronic cam path planning. In the software, the path editor allows the user to plan their own paths. In parameters, ASDA-A2 provides drive axis functions, which also satisfies all kinds of application demands from our clients.
6. ASDA-Soft monitoring software: 4 channels of oscilloscope offer 16-bit data through USB1.1 hardware port to achieve real-time monitoring. In the parameter editor, the data have been raised to 32 bits for offering more functions.

In general, Delta’s AC servo drives and motors can be applied in machine tools (e.g. double column type machining center, bar feeder, injection molding machine), machinery equipment (e.g. packaging machine, accuracy detection, textile machine), metal processing (e.g. tube bending machine, laser welding, bending machine, feeding machine) and precision manufacturing (e.g. semiconductor processing machine, precision drilling/molding, TFT panel cutting).
