In-drive PLC

With a cycle time of 100 µs for 1.000 lines of STL, the

b maXX-drivePLC is suitable for both compre hensive control

and demanding motion control tasks. Through the use of our

drivePLC, the PLC can be assisted, down-sized or even

completely replaced. A new transparency and clarity is also

created in the application via the clean decoupling of motion

control applications from the machine program. The drivePLC

can be integrated into the b maXX 4400 servo controller series

and enables the uncomplicated creation of control technology

programs with ProMaster or PROPROG.

A CANopen master is included with the CAN option module for

b maXX-drivePLC. This enables up to 65.536 digital I/O points

to be switched. With the existing EtherCAT master challenging

and highly synchronized movement processes are controlled

directly on the b maXX-drivePLC. The extensive product range

includes decentralized analog and digital I/O modules.

The program memory of the b maXX-drivePLC is sufficient for

typical 120.000 lines of IL. 2 MB of RAM are available for variables.

The optional residual data memory of 100 KB is buffered battery-free

with a NVRAM. This means there is enough memory available for

sufficient code. Costly memory expansions can be dispensed with.

The battery-free NVRAM means that data is available maintenance

free and after every time the system is switched off and on without

any data loss.

• 32-bit Risc CPU 120 MHz

• 16 MB flash memory, of which

2 MB is reserved for the IEC program and 4 MB for cams

• 100 KB non-volatile RAM

Clever. Fast. Effective.

The b maXX-drivePLC module makes the drive in telligent. 

This in-drive control intelligence allows very fast access to

the setpoints and actual values of the drive controller.

Therefore, the functionalityof the drive can be enhanced

with complex motion, control and technology functions.

This ensures that the application can be created quickly

and economically.

Storage module

The parameter storage module contains all the parameters

that are set on the drive controller of the b maXX for all 8

parameter data records and all 16 positioning profiles.

New parameters can be loaded to the drive controller

simply by plugging in the module.

Given that the parameter module is pluggable, a drive can

be replaced during servicing without the need for any

knowledge of the operating software.

Servicing could not be easier.

Function and option modules for b maXX 4400

With more than 30 different function and option

modules b maXX can easily be adapted in line with

the individual tasks of the automation and drive

solution.

The individual modules are designed as plug-in

boards and therefore the drive controller no longer

has to be ordered as a preassembled unit. By using

various plug-in boards, the machine manufacturer

can secure a wide variety of functions and configure

the appropriate combinations on their own. In this

way, he can react quickly and flexibly to new

requirements.

This system also ensures that the drive can be

quickly expanded at the user‘s facility. Production

adjustments can be implemented within a short

space of time and with minimal effort.

The established automation and drive solution

b maXX was expanded with the new peak load and

nominal load devices of the 5600 and 5700 series.

The units complete the b maXX series and are

available in five sizes. Therewith, Baumüller meets

the requirements of industry-specific applications

such as in the field of injection moulding or extru

sion processes, because here either short-term

peak power or permanent maximum power in

constant operation are in demand. The drive can

optimally be matched to the power demands of

the respective application.

Even though the series is equipped with greater

power rating it is available in smaller sizes and mini-

mizes the required space in the control cabinet –

hence the user benefits twice.

b maXX 5600/5700 — Your benefits at a glance

• Optimized drive solution for specific industry requirements

• Different sizes available for compatible drive dimensions

• Less space required in the control cabinet due to smaller

devices and the use of

water cooling, control cabinet therefore less expensive to

manufacture

• Water cooling in the control cabinet provides a cost-effective

solution

• Compatible with other devices in the b maXX series

Baumüller sets standards with the servo controller

generation b maXX 5000. The further development

of the successful b maXX series towards modular

systems convinces with high-performance power

units in air-cooled, water-cooled and cold plate

cooling versions and with flexible expandability

and the accessibility to an integrated communica

tion concept. Standardized as well as complex

automation solutions can be implemented with

Baumüller’s converters and controllers within a

power range between 1 and 215 kW.

The machine and installation requirements with

regard to future reliability, flexible expansion

possibilities and a simple adjustment to changed

production processes were already considered

during the preliminary development process stages

of the b maXX 5000.

Individual modules easily can be removed or

added over an integrated drive connect system

without having to disconnect the entire drive

system.
