Automation tool
More productivity with Drive Intelligence
The trends in automation are productivity, sustainability and connectivity. Baumüller is launching new products on the market that address these trends, including new tools for smart energy monitoring, condition monitoring in the drive and new mechanical models for drive simulation.
Among other things, the company will be presenting a new runtime system for PLCs, the B maxx 6000 servo inverter family including the drive-integrated high-performance controller B maxx PLC di and the new DSC2 motor generation. The B maxx PLC di (drive-integrated) controller takes over scalable control tasks up to high-performance synchronous multi-axis applications in the servo drives of the new B maxx 6000 family. This relieves and reduces or replaces the central PLC, as the PLC di can also be used as an EtherCAT master to control additional servo inverters. With a minimum fieldbus cycle time of up to 250 microseconds, the integrated controller is one of the fastest drive-integrated PLCs on the market. The B maxx PLC di responds to important events, such as measuring probes, in real time via digital inputs. Thanks to its connectivity, flexible and modular structures can be set up via interfaces such as OPC UA, MQTT, EtherCAT and Ethernet. Condition monitoring solutions ensure regular condition monitoring. This can be costly via sensors. With the Smart Vibration Monitoring software solution, machine manufacturers can offer their customers condition monitoring without an external sensor. The software is integrated directly into the servo controller via the Softdrive PLC and is easy to retrofit. For example, runtime models for additional machine functions can now be offered. The new function uses recorded and analyzed process parameters as reference values to monitor the mechanics. The software detects vibrations in good time and issues an error signal.
