Mini servo drive completes range
The new Acopos mini servo drive completes the B and R series in the lower power range from 450 to 700W.
Controller goes mobile
The B and R product range has been expanded to include a mobile device that combines operating, monitoring and control - the Mobile Panel.
Its complete electrical isolation also allows existing systems to be connected to new automation devices.
Additionally, the module performs extremely well when handling the demands of process automation.
The AI780 module is equipped with eight analogue inputs with 16bit resolution for current signals ranging from 0 to 20mA.
These inputs are electrically isolated from one another.
In addition, each measuring channel has a separate electrically isolated sensor power supply.
Measurement signals can be converted in one of two ways: either in a continuous conversion mode that runs independently of the application, or by converting all channels simultaneously using an external trigger command.
It is also possible for the module to internally change measurement values into more reasonable physical values, ie normalisation.
This allows measurement range transgressions, overload, and short-circuits in the encoder supply to be detected.
In addition, the AI780 input module is completely compatible with the entire B and R 2005 control system module series.
Its total integration within the B and R Automation Studio development environment goes without saying.
