With the new series of compact IndraDrive Cs drives, Rexroth is expanding the lower power range of the IndraDrive drive system that has enjoyed worldwide success. In addition to a space-saving design and excellent performance data, the IndraDrive Cs stands out for its extensive Ethernet-based communication interfaces and takes account of the increased requirements for openness and consistency with newly developed communication hardware with multiple protocol compatibility.
SERCOS III, PROFINET IO (RT), EtherNet/IP and EtherCat are available even in the first expansion level. They are connected via universal communication hardware for all the Ethernet-based interfaces cited that is easily configured by means of software. Rexroth has thus given users a high degree of flexibility in communication with minimal engineering work. Combined with the multiple transducer interface for evaluating all relevant encoder types plus an additional slot, it is possible – with only a few standard variants – to also confidently cover very specific drive tasks.
The optional use of Motion Logic in accordance with IEC 61131-3 and the integrated “Safety on board” safety technology complete the universal usability of the new small drives from Rexroth.
