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.
B and R has integrated the smart display link in the APC620 for industrial applications.
This allows transfer of all communication channels (display, touch screen, matrix keys, LED and service data) at a distance up to 40m using one cable.
USB transfer is also supported.
Therefore, machine data can be exchanged locally right on the panel eg via USB memory stick.
An additional panel displaying the same picture content can also be connected to the first Automation Panel.
A distance of 40m is also possible for this connection, so that the second panel can be operated up to 80m from the APC620.
The APC620 with Pentium M and Celeron M CPUs allows the connection of another line with two Automation Panels.
These panels display different picture content than the panels in the first line (dual independent display).
The smart display link is also used for this connection.
Alternatively, the same picture content can also be displayed on all four Automation Panels (display clone).
This enables the APC620 to provide maximum flexibility for industrial applications.
The matrix keys are configured with a user-friendly and easy to operate software tool, the Key Editor.
The function of each key can be defined individually.
The keys can have assignments for four levels.
