b maXX softdrivePLC – Intelligence in the drive

With the new b maXX softdrivePLC, Baumüller has made separate control hardware unnecessary for certain applications. By combining motion control and PLC functions in the controller, Baumüller has created a decentralized control architecture for programming in accordance with IEC 61131. making it extremely easy to set up distributed intelligence in the machine.

Without complicated tools for control programming, control tasks ranging from the simple calculation of digital inputs to highly complex control algorithms can be implemented in a decentralized way in the controller – tasks made easy by the ProDrive parameterization tool. The b maXX softdrivePLC runs as part of the firmware in the Baumüller drive concepts b maXX 6000. b maXX 5000 and b maXX 3300 and is suitable for single and double-axis applications.
