Baumüller's b maXX 4400 servo controllers now feature a Safe Stop function certified in accordance with EN 954-1 Category 3 (single-channel stop). This certification follows the Category 4 (two-channel stop) certification received in July 2005. The benefit for customers is that they now have access to a cost-effective route to implementing safe solutions in accordance with Categories 3 and 4 as defined by EN 954-1.
Custom-configuration of drive systems is made possible by the modular structure of the company's b maXX range. Plug-in modules mean that users can add new functions to their loop controllers as they please - new control functions, for example, or additional interfaces. Thanks to a universal hardware and software platform, drives can easily be customised to meet prevailing needs at any time. The b maXX also supports access to numerous bus systems in the automation sector, including EtherCAT, CANopen, CANsync, PROFIBUS-DP and Sercos. All controllers in the b maXX range are parameterised using WinBASS II.
