MINAS A6BU servo driver
Real-time control with MINAS A6BU thanks to direct sensor data processing in the servo driver
When it comes to quickly processing sensor measurement data in industrial automation, every millisecond counts.
Highly precise applications for distance monitoring require the servo driver to control the axis as fast as possible. How fast the servo driver responds to the measurement data supplied by sensors depends largely on the cycle time of the PLC used. Valuable time can be lost here because the signal has to travel from the sensor through the PLC to the servo driver.
However, with the MINAS A6BU you can connect the sensors directly to the servo driver. This means you can process the analog data directly in the servo driver without an intermediate PLC. The motor can therefore immediately restore the target distance. The MINAS A6BU uses the EtherCAT protocol for easy integration and cross-manufacturer communication.
Fast, precise, and easy
Your application can also benefit from the direct processing of sensor data:
