Joint Drive by Linear Mover

***

With this kind of a drive an element is not controlled by the PLC directly but indirectly by a linear mover that has to exist already. The absolute turning angle that is specified by the drive is varied dependent on the position of the hot spot of the linear mover between the minimum value and the maximum value. Length and orientation of the linear mover do not matter, the one end position always corresponds to the minimum value, the other one to the maximum value. You can use an linear mover with integrated sensors as well.

With the rattle functions ‘only forward’ resp. ‘only backward’ you can adjust that the joint will only be moved if the linear mover moves into the corresponding direction.

Up to now this drive is only available for the valve, the joint, the heating and more inadvertently for the pump.
