The controller is located centrally on an ACOPOS™ servo drive. The drives are networked and synchronized with each other via CAN bus. As a result, electronic gear and cam profile applications as well as CNC applications are possible in addition to simple point-to-point movements. Control of the simple operation/ visualization is handled by the controller on the ACOPOS™ servo drive. I/O signals are connected in the switching cabinet or directly in the machine room. By eliminating the need for an external controller, external space can also be used optimally.
