Drive systems for high performance

Baum��ller offers drive systems with nominal torques of up to 60,000 Nm and has years of experience in equipping forming machines, plastics machines and shredders. The multi-pole DST2 high-torque motors from Baum��ller are used as direct drives in numerous branches of industrial mechanical engineering and mobile drive technology.

In addition, Baum��ller offers its servo drives b maXX 5000 as stackable axes or as powerful mono devices that can be used individually or in combination with outputs of up to 800 A. The compact devices are designed for use, for example, in presses, plastics machines or test stands and are also available as a system with torque motors with multiple windings. This means that several converters can control one motor in parallel, so that motors in the megawatt power range can be controlled with converters from Baum��ller. For particularly high peak loads, Baum��ller implements systems with a DC link network that intercept the process-related peaks and thus keep the connected load and thus the operator's energy costs low. The DC link network also enables energy to be fed back in generator mode, for example on test benches.

Industry 4.0: Control units for Motion Control and IoT

The b maXX PLC combines the properties of industrial PCs and PLC control units, thereby covering the area between these existing solutions optimally. b maXX PLC is available in two versions: The b maXX PLC mc controls motion-control applications and, used in combination with the extensive Baum��ller technology libraries, it enables fast implementation of high-performance automation tasks. With the b maXX PLC IoT Industry 4.0 version, data can be collected directly at the machine, preprocessed, and output to other terminal devices or the cloud. They make extensive and complex data analyses, in order to enable Industry 4.0 applications, such as predictive maintenance and predictive quality as well as connectivity to AI. At the same time, new business models such as ��pay per x�� can be implemented.

The Node-RED software is also implemented on the b maXX PLC IoT. This allows users to set individual parameters to analyze data or even create their own dashboards. The available MQTT module allows data to be sent to different clouds, regardless of the respective cloud provider. It also includes an OPC-UA module, which ensures interoperability at machine level.

Data from different manufacturers�� devices can be processed. Data from Baum��ller products, e.g. a b maXX converter, can be output parallel to the field bus through the internal protocol and thus through the service interface. Due to the enhanced functions, the connectivity of Baum��ller devices, such as b maXX PLC IoT, with other automation components can be established via OPC UA.

Thanks to the HMI certified according to IEC 62443 and secure routers, which meet the requirements of the BSI (German Federal Office for Information Security), the requirements of industrial security are also met.
