September 29, 2006 - Nuremberg. Modular drive systems will feature an additional advantage in the future: The servo controllers b maXX 4000 from Baumüller can optionally be equipped with an EtherCAT Master. This allows mechanical engineers to implement machine architectures that are modular and networked with EtherCAT. Baumüller provides an EtherCAT Master, which can be operated together with the b maXX drivePLC, as an option card for the b maXX 4000 drive series. The EtherCAT Master is configured and operated via the Engineering Framework ProMaster. The modular automation system from Baumüller also allows for integrating third-party devices via ProMaster. The mechanical engineer can now implement his machine architectures with EtherCAT in a flexible way. EtherCAT joins and connects the IT networks and the Internet with a fast real-time Ethernet solution for machine communication. This allows for achieving a universal communication structure across all levels of the machine which is designed and parameterized in ProMaster. The Engineering Framework ProMaster from Baumüller enables the user to cerate projects and applications in a simple way via intuitive drag & drop. The low-level programming is replaced by simple parameter setting and configuring throughout all levels of the machine from the perspective of the mechanical engineer. The complexity of engineering as well as the time-to-market are reduced by ProMaster. Baumüller presents the EtherCAT-Master at SPS/IPC/Drives in Nuremberg from November 28th till 30th. Visit us in hall 1 at booth 1-310.Baumüller with its headquarters located in Nuremberg is one of the leadingmanufacturers of innovative electric driveand automation systems.
