vDRIVE Control systems
Automation is shaping modern manufacturing processes more than ever before. Many mobile conveyor units must be reliably controlled. With our versatile vDRIVE solutions, this can be achieved flexibly and with optimized performance.
VCS1 CONTROL SYSTEM
In order for transport systems to perform their tasks with positional accuracy, a reliable control system is required. The VAHLE VCS1 control system covers all requirements for use in conveyor technology.
Different types of communication are available for data transmission between the stationary and mobile side, for example, half-wave communication, rail bus as well as the VAHLE SMGM slotted bus system for Ethernet-based industrial buses such as PROFINET.
VCSX MODULAR CONTROLS
Electric monorail systems are suitable for a wide range of transport tasks in production and logistics processes and are used in all industries. Complex conveying systems are realised by means of branching and connecting elements (e.g. switches) as well as vertical transfer devices, lifting stations or hoists.
The VAHLE VCSX control series is ideal for use in these applications due to its modular and configurable building block concept, which consists of various combinable housing size options, power class combinations, data transfer types, sensor support and I/O connectivity, and can be easily tailored to the respective requirements.
VCS-SMG-SAFE APPLICATION CONTROL
The safe and TÜV-certified VCS-SMG-SAFE application control unit, coordinated with the VCSX drive controller, enables easy implementation of safety functions via pre-designed process applications. The safety module already contains a fail-safe configuration tailored to the respective ex works application. The safe control and monitoring of the drive technology is completely solved by the VCS-SMG-SAFE system.
