Version: 3.1
Permanent magnets
Permanent magnets made of a hard magnetic material are built into
the XTS movers. The permanent magnets develop high forces even
in small designs. They enable the precise and highly dynamic posi-
tioning of the XTS movers.
Scalable travel path
The number of installed modules is variable. You can adapt the
length of the travel path to suit every application.
Rail system
You have the possibility to select the best combination from several
rail systems and movers for every application.
Armature short circuit brake
In the case of an emergency stop the movers can optionally be de-
celerated by means of an armature short-circuit.
Integrated power electronics
The entire power electronics is integrated in the modules. To supply
the modules you need a 24 V control voltage and a 48 V load volt-
age.
Software-based control
The XTS is controlled by a software-based cascade control. The
control loop structure is stored in the XTS drivers and is calculated
cyclically on the control IPC. You do not need any additional drive
software.
Programming according to IEC61131-3
The standardized "Motion Control function blocks" according to the
PLC Open standard IEC61131-3 are available for the programming
of the XTS.
