Movigear is SEW-Eurodrive’s innovative, decentralised mechatronic drive system that provides networking features and supports independent monitoring and maintenance tasks to reduce start up times. The product series has recently been expanded to include Movigear binary for standalone applications and Movigear AS-Interface with a simple fieldbus connection.
Movigear binary can be started up quickly and easily using a DIP switch and a potentiometer without the need for a PC. For applications with constant velocity, users can adjust the fixed speeds and ramps. The system includes an interface for additional diagnostics and parameter input. Using the binary inputs, the unit can be controlled from either a central PLC or locally with on-site or manual operation. For safety-related applications, all variants include a standard integrated safety feature that functions as an STO (safe stop).
Movigear AS-Interface facilitates simple and economical connection to the fieldbus using a standard AS-interface. This version of the mechatronic drive system also allows for the use of configurable fixed speeds and ramps. In addition, external sensors that can either be processed directly or transmitted to a higher-level controller via the AS-interface can be connected. The binary inputs make it possible to operate the system on-site or manually. This variant also comes equipped with an interface and an integrated safety feature (STO). This mechatronic drive system is particularly suited for expansive applications in materials handling equipment and intralogistics, for example roller conveyors, belt conveyors, pallet conveyors and rotary tables.
