Profile
SEW-EURODRIVE
Driving the world
SEW-EURODRIVE
is an internationally successful, family-owned business with more than 10,000
employees and sales of € 1.2 billion. As one of the leading companies in the
field of drive engineering, SEW-EURODRIVE is a motor for progress and its
gearmotors and frequency inverters, servo drive systems, decentralized drive
systems and industrial gear units keep the world moving every day.
Gear
units and motors from SEW-EURODRIVE have always set the trend and established
new standards in the field of drive engineering. For this reason, the quality
label “made by SEW” has become a hallmark of quality in the drive industry.
The complete range of gearmotors from SEW-EURODRIVE offers customers the right
drive for every task. Market-oriented products developed and manufactured
in-house as well as uncompromising
quality are the cornerstones of the company’s success. "People do not
need products, they need solutions." Based on this maxim, SEW-EURODRIVE
decided to develop and manufacture not only gearmotors but also electronic parts
custom-made for these motors.
However,
good drive technology products are not everything; perfectly matched service is
also a part of the process. SEW-EURODRIVE combines both elements in offering
outstanding products and services that enable the operation and availability of
entire drive systems every day. Worldwide. The comprehensive SEW-EURODRIVE
service network ensures that complete drives and spare parts are available all
over the world, within 24 hours in many areas.

and Services
MOVI-PLC®
advanced
- for top performance in drive automation
Following
the successful introduction of the MOVI-PLC® basic
motion controller, SEW-EURODRIVE presents MOVI-PLC® advanced*.
It is designed for the most powerful automation of highly sophisticated drive
applications. Up to 64 axes can be controlled synchronously via the
Ethernet-based system bus. MOVI-PLC® advanced
includes the full functionality of MOVI-PLC® basic
and also offers sufficient power reserves to execute complex online
computations, for example, curves to be calculated during operation, multi-axis
interpolation and kinematic transformations. The controller architecture
includes a 400MHz processor, 8MB program memory, 4MB data memory and 32kB retain
variables to provide sufficient resources for comprehensive automation tasks.
Another essential feature is the wide range of interfaces available. Two CAN
system busses and one Ethernet-based system bus allow optimized and universal
control of all inverters and servo drives from SEW-EURODRIVE as well as CANopen
I/O modules.
MOVI-PLC® advanced
as a compact controller
Eight
digital I/Os, five of them
interrupt-capable, are integrated into the MOVI-PLC® unit itself. Users
can choose from two RS485 serial interfaces, for example, for connecting a DOP
(Drive Operator Panel), for
engineering or for controlling an inverter without CAN or Ethernet interfaces.
Several interfaces (TCP/IP, Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET IO RT and PROFIBUS
DP-V1) are available for communication with a higher-level controller.
MOVI-PLC® advanced
is programmed in IEC 61131 in accordance with the PLCopen motion
control specification. The IEC program has permanent and complete access to the
parameters of all the connected drives and to the complete area of the memory
card reserved for the user. In this way, even extended curve or path data and
recipes can be stored and managed by the MOVI-PLC® unit. All these
features make it a pleasure to work with MOVI-PLC®, thanks
particularly to user-friendly engineering with the fully-integrated MOVITOOLS®-MotionStudio,
connected via the high-speed interfaces Ethernet or USB.
