Gateway
Communicator for frequency inverters
BMR has developed a special gateway to connect its SFU series to all common industrial fieldbuses: The SFU Communicator.
BMR develops and manufactures frequency inverters for asynchronous and synchronous high-frequency motor spindles for milling, grinding, drilling and dressing. The new gateway is installed in a slim and robust control cabinet housing and is connected to a BMR inverter via the existing RS232 interface. The bus is adapted via pre-configured, plug-in and interchangeable communication modules and the corresponding configuration file for the bus master. The SFU Communicator enables a plug-and-play solution for any fieldbus, even with already installed BMR frequency inverters.
The company promises that the combination of frequency inverter, Communicator and the DressView sensorless dressing system developed in-house, in conjunction with standard spindles for lead detection, will benefit users in a variety of ways. There are new perspectives in tool and process monitoring, for example the early detection of bearing damage in motor spindles and tool analysis. This avoids unplanned machine downtime and saves time and money. as
