New control functions for model-based control servo drive from B&R

October 17, 2019 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

servo drive

B&R has extended its model-based control for the ACOPOS P3 servo drive to include three new control functions. The functions are integrated into B&R’s Automation Studio engineering environment and allow the controller to be adjusted more precisely. This way, machine productivity and speed can be increased. Vibrations and oscillations decrease, so that machine components are […]

Motion systems application examples: Controllers advance

November 28, 2015 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Motion controllers range from single-axis smarts to programmable automation controllers (PACs) that synchronize hundreds of axes and plant IT. These brains of precision motion are at the heart of today’s motion-system innovation. But controls are increasingly advanced in mobile applications as well. Consider just one example: Trust Automation Inc., known for standard and custom motion […]

B&R simplifies packaging automation for ladder-logic fans

August 24, 2015 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

North American packaging machinery users and OEMs benefit from familiar ladder-logic programming, but new packaging-automation software is easier. As machine functionalities become more sophisticated, ladder programs can become too complicated, even when supplemented by function blocks. Modular application (mapp) technology from B&R maintains familiar, IEC compliant ladder and function block programming – except with mapp components, […]

The hardware and software of a PC-based motion controller

July 3, 2015 By Steve Meyer Leave a Comment

Physically, a PC-based controller is made up the same kinds of hardware components as most personal computers — a processor, some memory and an interface bus. The interface bus is a high-speed dedicated bus that provides all types of information to and from the processor. In personal computing, the hardware I/O consists of a keyboard […]

Revamped servomotors from B&R more powerful

March 25, 2015 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Revamped 8LS series servomotors from B&R are now more powerful than ever. A more compact housing, optimized design and additional sizes are other improvements. Size 2 and 3 servomotors with the same technical capabilities are now much more compact for maximum compatibility and higher power density. Size 5 and 7 motors come in additional lengths for better dynamics and torque. Inductive […]

3-HMI-Siemens-Simotion-4.4

Recent years have brought major advances in HMI technology—increasingly affordable multitouch screens, a shift from resistive displays to projected-capacitive displays, and displacement of proprietary design platforms by web-based HTML5 platforms. That’s according to Derrick Stacey, solutions engineer at B&R Industrial Automation. The spread of capacitive displays has expanded HMI use in industries needing bezel-free designs, […]
