Decentralised Drive
01 November 2012
Metronix has launched safety- equipped versions of its DIS-2 decentralised drive solution, which can be used as a smart drive or mounted on a servo to create a standalone smart motor.
The compact new module provides a versatile and cost-effective drive and control capability for automation engineers and machine builders.
The new Safe Torque Off functionality (PLe category 3 according to ISO 13849-1) provides machinery and automation builders with a highly-affordable means of delivering advanced machine safety features to their customers. This safety feature is also becoming highly valued in the machinery marketplace as it typically increases machine uptime.
Many machine builders like decentralised motion control solutions because they simplify machine design and assembly.
