SEW-Eurodrive has introduced a new decentralised drive package.
Comprising a PLC/motion controller or gateway, frequency inverter, optional I/O module, geared-motor and interconnection cables, the decentralised package can be customised to match the specific requirements of the end-user.
Decentralised architectures is designed to bring drive control and execution closer to the application, delivering increased flexibility and productivity to the factory floor.
Frequency inverters are field-mounted alongside the geared motors, and controlled by a decentralised PLC or gateway acting as an interface to a fieldbus-connected supervisory PLC.
