Configuring instead of programming
ACOPOS servo drives can be configured for demanding positioning tasks such as electronic gears or cam profiles. Based on long-term cooperation with customers from all over the world, B&R shares its know-how in the form of compact function blocks for many applications. Industry-specific functionality can be quickly and easily implemented in an application program.
Quick and easy commissioning
Programming all B&R products takes place in a uniform manner in B&R Automation Studio with Windows look and feel. Complex drive solutions can be created after a short orientation period. Adding hardware components and program sections, as well as their configuration, is done in dialog boxes; this reduces project development times considerably.
Axis movements can be checked without programming using NC Test. All types of movements, ranging from point-to-point to gear functions, can be carried out interactively. The reaction of the axis can be seen online in the monitor window. The trace function records relevant drive data for clear evaluation.
Tools for straightforward and efficient diagnostics
The drive is monitored in real-time using the oscilloscope function. Many trigger possibilities generate informative data for analyzing the movement during operation. The graphic display allows the user to make fine adjustments and optimizations of the movement in the microsecond range. The integration of powerful tools, such as the cam editor, reduces programming for complex coupled movements to simple drag-and-drop procedures. The results and effects on speed, acceleration and jolt can be immediately analyzed graphically.
Higher productivity with smart process technology
Smart Process Technology meets the customer’s need for cost-effective solutions and high production speeds. This freely configurable technology library is seamlessly integrated into the existing motion control product.
Using indirect process parameters makes it possible to eliminate sensors, which are often not fast enough to keep up with high production speeds. Synchronous processing and short response times make it possible to achieve excellent productivity and precision. For example, highly efficient and intelligent decentralized units allow seamless quality control. In the field, this significantly reduces cycle times while improving component quality.
This meets the requirements of modern motion control products such as high product quality, machine productivity along with short maintenance and down times and, to a greater extent, seamless quality control during production.
