Available with a choice of absolute or incremental encoder feedback, and with IEC 61131 programming support, POSICON is claimed to offer a solution for medium precision applications where multi-axis coordination, flying shear, master/slave synchronisation or position/product registration is required.
NORD’s SK 540E is the top-of-the-range control cabinet frequency inverter and integrates a universal encoder interface for SSI, BISS, EnDat profile 2.1, and Hiperface. In addition to absolute or point-to-point positioning functions the inverter is said to offer endless incremental positioning and features such as teach in, reference point, offset, target position and S-ramps that can be programmed for application flexibility.
With output power for distributed inverter technology available up to 22kW and cabinet devices up to 160kW, other drive features include a 200% overload capability and STO/SS1 for high safety applications whilst a choice of fieldbus extension modules including Profibus, CANopen, EtherCAT and EtherNet IP provides numerous communication integration opportunities.
