Firmware update for D1

... functional extension ...

The new firmware update of the D1 includes 11 updates. In addition to the "Modulo axis", which enables time- and path-optimised movements, there is also the "E-cylinder" function, which allows for an easy replacement of pneumatic drives. Further firmware updates, such as "pulse/direction function" with automatic step resolution to minimise noise, CANopen optimisation for information messages or heartbeat function, have also been integrated. You will also be able to install further firmware updates on the D1 in future. We look forward to customer ideas and requests, which we can integrate.

The most important updates in detail

8 years ago, the D1 was developed with digital signal processors and an integrated web server interface in order to be up to date even years later. This basis makes it possible to regularly release updates with new functions that work with Google Crome, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla.

"Modulo axis"

A new function is the "Modulo Axe", which enables time- and distance-optimised movements on rotary axes. With a 360° rotary axis, the motor control unit decides for itself whether to turn anti-clockwise or clockwise in order to travel the shortest distance. This is particularly advantageous for QA or inspection systems with downstream sorting in order to work efficiently.

"E-cylinder"

The function "E-cylinder", is the simplest movement from A to B using two digital signals. One signal starts the movement to point A and the other signal to point B. This function is familiar from pneumatic drives, but they require too much energy and are therefore inefficient. With the new function, pneumatic cylinders can be replaced by motorised drives.

"Commissioning aid"

In addition, the D1 has been enhanced with functions that significantly simplify commissioning. Some inputs for the motor or the movement limits, as well as the actual movement, are mandatory. If these entries are made incorrectly or forgotten, the D1 recognises this and informs the operator of the error. An alarm message with a note is displayed in the control interface (GUI).
