ConveyLinx-Ai2 opens a wide range of applications, from simple zero-pressure accumulation to complex servo drive applications. This is achieved using one compact controller with unprecedented technical diversity. With justone controller almost every motion in conveyortechnology can be meticulously controlled.
A zero-pressure accumulation conveyor can be controlled by ConveyLinx-Ai2 fully autonomously without the use of a PLC. Alternatively, if a higherlevel control is preferred, a PLC can be integrated using ProfiNet, Ethernet IP, Modbus TCP and CCLink. However, the PLC does not need to control every zone, it need only control a limited number of decision points. If the application is to be fully controlled by a PLC, the configuration and control of all ConveyLinx-Ai2’s can be made using the Topology from TIA Portal or STEP 7. Nevertheless, the use of ConveyLinx- Ai2’s internal logic is still possible and thus relieves the source code of the PLC.
ConveyLinx-Ai2 offers extensive diagnostic tools for the drives. This enables a cost-effective preventive maintenance program drastically reducing unplanned downtime. Senergy- Ai and PGD-Ai are easily connected via proven and robust standard M8-4Pin connectors for a plug-in safe and fast mechanical installation.
