3.1 Drive system LinMot
®
LinMot
®
is a modular built servo drive system that can be operated as ‘stand-alone’ or
in connection with commercial PLCs, PCs or other higher-level control systems.
LinMot
®
incorporates the basic idea of the peripheral drive elements: the reference
values are given directly by the higher-level control system in form of position set
values, while the actual motion profiles and position control are calculated and executed
peripheral in the LinMot
®
electronic unit. MS-Windows based configuration and
commissioning programs release the engineers and draftsmen from electrotechnical
detail questions and allow for quick and function oriented work.
Among the actuators connectable to the LinMot
®
electronic units, the electromagnetic
direct linear drives LinMot
®
P take a special position, as they offer completely new
possibilities in the machine construction and mechatronic system concept.
The notions LinMot
®
Step and LinMot
®
Magnet refer to complementary drive families
consisting of the combination of commercially available stepper motors and magnets as
actuators and LinMot
®
electronic units. Both stepper motors and electromagnets can be
used in mixed system configurations with the LinMot
®
linear drives.
