Dr. Thomas Cord presents Lenze's "Motion Centric Automation" at the SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2010

Dr. Thomas Cord, Managing Director Lenze Automation, presents at the SPS/IPC/DRIVES in Nuremberg Lenzes "Motion Centric Automation" - Automationsystems for machines which, in addition to control functionalities, also contain a variety of drives. Lenze offers solutions in two different automation topologies: Drive-based Automation, these are intelligent drive systems which, apart from the actual drive technology also contain a control functionality. These are especially suitable for machines in the field of intralogistics and for strip processing machines. The second approach is the controller-based architecture for packaging machines, handling machines, and robots. Here a high-performance centralised control unit carries out all PLC tasks, the motion control, and also the visualisation. Highlight in this field is the new high-performance compact control system, the L-force Controller 3200 C. In addition to the PLC tasks, it also takes over the motion control and the visualisation. For efficient engineering Lenze offers the L-force Engineer, a system that supports all cycles of a machine development: Starting with the project planning, and including the programming of the machine to its commissioning.
