The bus positioning module is suitable for positioning applications with a variable number of target positions.
“Bus Positioning” is available in two versions - complete or reduced function:
-
“Bus Positioning” with three (3) process data and variable preset of target position and speed.
-
“Extended Positioning via Bus” with six (6) process data and variable preset of target position, speed, and ramp.
Bus positioning applications can be found in the following sectors:
-
Materials handling
-
Trolleys
-
Hoists
-
Rail vehicles
No matter how large the variety of applications for table positioning, the wide range of functions provided by the application
module provides the right solution for every task.
-
Any number of target positions can be defined and selected by means of a fieldbus/system bus.
-
The positioning speed can be selected as required using the bus.
-
Software limit switches can be defined and evaluated.
-
Either incremental encoders or absolute encoders can be evaluated as external encoders.
-
Simple connection to the master controller (PLC).
-
Guided startup and diagnostics.
Benefits at a glance:
-
User-friendly user interface.
-
Users only need to enter the parameters for bus positioning (gear ratios, speeds, diameters).
-
Guided parameter setting process instead of complicated programming.
-
Monitor mode for optimum diagnostics.
-
Users do not need any programming experience.
-
Rapid familiarization with the system.
Use the application module “Bus Positioning” or “Extended Positioning via Bus” (in the application version, it is a component
of the MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio software for MOVIDRIVE®). A user-friendly interface guides you through the process of setting the parameters. All you have to do is enter the parameters
you need for your application: for example, gear ratios, travel speeds, driving diameters, and target positions. The application
module uses this information to create the control program and loads it into the inverter.
