New smart TOX-ElectricPowerDrive drives with TOX-ElectricDrive Core

The TOX-ElectricDrive Core system combines the new servo-electrical drives with a module which is servo inverter and central intelligence of the drive control in one. The TOX-SoftWare combines parameterization, operation, process monitoring, diagnosis and evaluation as well as quality management. A new HMI panel simplifies input and analysis.
The newly TOX-SoftWare combines parameterization, operation, process monitoring, diagnosis and evaluation as well as quality data management. The software runs on the PC of the user as well as on the new TOX-HMI-Panel. The latter is available as 10.1 inch manual version and as built-in or support arm unit in 10.1, 13.3 and 21.5 inch. Connection to the system is established by means of Ethernet (TCP).
Another technical innovation is the TOX-Edge-Unit. It is the interface between drive and PowerModule Core and has two digital inputs and outputs each, two analog inputs and one encoder input. It is placed directly on the drive cylinders of the TOX-ElectricPowerDrive series and operates like a decentralized intelligence. It collects data and sends them as a bundle to the TOX-PowerModule Core. The same applies to the integrated measuring amplifier – it is part of the TOX-EdgeUnit and is positioned directly next to the power sensors integrated into the TOX-ElectricPowerDrive, whose signals it converts. Furthermore, apart from an additional measuring amplifier for an external force sensor, storage is also integrated into the TOX-EdgeUnit. It houses amongst others the drive type, maintenance and stroke counter. The nominal force, serial number, calibration factor and date for the next lubrication are automatically reported to the PowerModule Core this way.
The new TOX-ElectricDrive Core system is plug-and-play-enabled and can be adapted to new processes with just a few clicks. In addition to a TOX-ElectricPowerDrive the complete package includes further versions for different fields of application, from 0.02-1000 kN of press force.
