Test the dryve motor control system

You can use the intuitive browser user interface to set the travel mode, positions, rates of acceleration, speed and pause times of your linear axis.
 
Test the simulated user interface of the motor controller here. When you use the real control system, your input is transmitted exactly as in this simulator. There is no separate transmission.
 
It's that easy: Under 'Travel profiles', you can configure up to eight lines and apply the control parameters to the linear axis. In the 'Mode' field, use HOM to set the zero point or use ABS to define the absolute position for movement on the linear axis. Choose the destination by entering the position on the axis or by using the Teach function. Enter the values for acceleration, speed and deceleration and, if necessary, a pause time. Under 'Subsequent block', specify the number of the next travel profile.

1. Voltage supply
Logic and load supply are separated in order to realise safety shutdowns.
The logic supply has 12-24 V and the load supply has 12-48 V.

2. Digital inputs
Movements can be selected, started and stopped at the 10 predefined inputs. With two limit switches and an enable input, the motor control unit can also perform safety functions.

3. Digital outputs
Information from the motor control unit can be called up at the 5 predefined outputs. The motor control unit reports whether it is ready or is currently executing a movement, whether it is referenced or whether warnings or errors are present.

4. Analogue inputs
Two analogue inputs can be used to read in absolute position information from a linear axis, for example, or to specify speeds or positions. Using an "electronic hand wheel", a linear axis can be moved without changing the parameters.

5. motor & Brake connection
DC, 3-phase EC and 2-phase stepper motors can be connected to the motor connection. A motor brake connection is also integrated in this connector.

6. rotary encoder
A rotary encoder is required to optimise motor control and determine an exact position. The motor control unit is designed for many different types of rotary encoder with a voltage supply of 5 V.

The control system in detail

Ready to use immediately

The dryve motor control system can either be connected to your network or you can connect it directly to the control unit (PC or PLC) by means of a network cable. You can then start the control system directly in the browser without software installation. Settings can therefore be made in one minute.
 
For each linear axis you need one dryve motor control system.

Easy control

You can use the simple intuitive user interface to parameterise travel distances, position, feed and operating time of your linear axis even as an amateur.
 
Movements that are continuously repeated are known as looping can be set in just a few seconds. A teach function enables position settings to be made with just one mouse click.

Industry standards

Due to standardised communication protocols such as CANopen or Modbus TCP, it is very easy to connect the system to industrial controllers such as the Siemens S7 or Beckhoff.
 
The ten digital inputs and outputs enable extremely easy communication with industrial controllers but also with low-price open-source modules such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

Powerful technology

dryve supports DC, EC and stepper motors both in open loop and closed loop technology.
 
The supply voltage of up to 48 V ensures high motor speeds. The nominal current of 7 A and the peak current of 20 A results in powerful and dynamic movements.
