All zub controls are freely programmable and can be controlled by a superior system (PLC or PC) or operated stand-alone.

All zub controls have available at least a ±10V or a CANopen interface as well as digital and analog inputs. Any servo amplifier and frequency converters can be controlled.

With these features and the fast processing time, they are an ideal choice to position and to synchronize complex systems.

Applications

Flying saws
Belt synchronization, conveyor belts.
Coil winding applications
Printing machines
X/Y tables
Electronic gearing
Pelletizing, packaging
Feeding

Positioning functions

The zub controls handles all of the functions necessary for positioning; the most important therefrom are:

Configurable homing
Absolute and relative positioning
Marken specific positioning
Programmable speed profiles
Speed, acceleration ramp, and braking ramp can be altered during motion

Synchronization functions

With the controls of the MACS series it is possible to precisely synchronize a controlled drive to any guiding axle in terms of speed and angle. The following synchronizing functions are available for this:

Speed synchronization
Position / angle synchronization with or without marker correction
Ratio offset can be altered online
Any change of operation mode between synchronization, positioning, and speed regulation, even during motion
Recording of master and slave position, speed, synchronicity errors, etc., even during operation

Control functions

All of the macro language APOSS control commands are available for the zub controls, for example:

Extension of inputs and outputs using CANopen modules
The MACS series assumes CAN master functions as well as CAN slave functions.
Interrupt functions on inputs, bus bits, bus telegrams, etc.
Timer function
Calculation functions, branching, etc.

CAM Functions

CAM controls and CAM boxes can be realized with the MACS series. The APOSS-IDE provides for it amongst others:
