Servo PLC is basis for drive based automation

Drive-based automation is becoming increasingly important in mechanical engineering, with modular machine concepts being the key driving force behind this trend.
Lenze has developed a servo controller with an integrated PLC called the 9300 Servo PLC. The drive is available with power ratings from 0.37 to 75kW, and PLC functions include real-time and multitasking operations, processing time of 0.7us/bit and I/O expandable to 64 inputs, 64 outputs. Preconfigured software solutions can easily adapt to the requirements of varied applications, making the Servo PLC well suited to a wide range of industries.

Drive-based automation is becoming increasingly important in mechanical engineering, with modular machine concepts being the key driving force behind this trend.

They provide an efficient means of creating complex systems by combining ready-to-use machine standards.

Freely programmable, intelligent servo controllers are the key elements in implementing these concepts.

Combined with expertly designed hardware and software, they create a complete automation system.

There are three software options available with the Servo PLC, the first is 'Positioning drives' which would be typically used in material transport, stacking and storage, rotary tables and robotics.
The 'Cam software' package suiting contouring, filling, packing and cross-cutters, and the third 'Winder drives' offers open and closed loops solutions with applications including winding of cables, wires, textiles, paper, sheet metal and foil.

A signal processor developed specifically for the servo drives is responsible for the exact control of synchronous and asynchronous motors, thereby ensuring precise, fast and dynamic motion sequences.

Resolvers, incremental encoders, SinCos encoders or absolute value encoders can be used as feedback systems for speed and position feedback.

Lenze provides a system bus based on CANopen as standard for networking the controllers.

This option also provides the basis for synchronising internal program sequences if required.
