b maXX-drivePLC: One of the fastest in-drive PLCs worldwide

With a cycle time of 100 μs for 1000 lines of STL, the b maxx-drivePLC is suitable for both extensive control and demanding motion control tasks. This means that by using our PLC, the control PLC can be relieved, downsized or even completely replaced. The clean decoupling of motion control applications from the machine program also creates a new level of transparency and clarity in the application.

Programming via ProDrive

By using softdrivePLC, you no longer need complicated tools for control programming. Control tasks can easily be implemented in a decentralized way in the controller via the ProDrive parameterization tool – from simple calculation to highly complex control algorithms.

Industry 4.0: Intelligent drives function as a data/sensor hub

With the Baumüller SmartValue function, data is collected directly in the process via the intelligent sensor/actuator level, preprocessed with the help of AI and other tools, and then used to optimize the machine. Data available in the servo drive, such as power, current, torque, speed or position, are thus used intelligently – to record the current utilization of the motor-drive combination, for example. In this case, the servo drive acts as a data hub. If the available data is not sufficient, the drive and also the motor with external sensors can easily be used as a sensor hub.
