SEW-EURODRIVE Products: IPOS® Positioning and sequence control

Products

> IPOSplus® features
> Technical data

The basic functions and options of IPOS^plus® units ensure that the program is no longer only an open-loop speed controller.

In fact, the positioning and sequence control system integrated in MOVIDRIVE^® can often take a great deal of load off the master PLC, or maybe even replace it.

Reducing the central control offers SEW customers significant potential savings in terms of hardware and the complexity of electrical installation.

The programming work is divided between the PLC and inverter control. However, users must familiarize themselves with the system. This includes getting to know IPOS^plus® if you want to make effective use of what it has to offer.

IPOSplus® features

The IPOS^plus® sequence control system makes it possible to run a user program independent of encoder feedback and the selected control mode (VFC, CFC, SERVO).

In conjunction with encoder feedback, the IPOS^plus® positioning control provides a high-performance point-to-point positioning capability.

The program is run independent of encoder feedback and operating mode.

MOVIDRIVE^® continues to run the user program even if the unit develops a malfunction (troubleshooting is possible in the user program).

IPOS^plus® can run several user programs/tasks simultaneously, independent of one another. Tasks can be interrupted using interrupts.

The user programs can contain several hundreds of program lines.

Easy-to-use and comprehensive control options for IPOS^plus® units.

Access to all available options:

Input/output card

Fieldbus interfaces

Synchronous operation card

Extensive communication options:

System bus (S-bus)
