Bosch Rexroth Canada introduced its next generation HNC100-3X Motion Controller, which extends the range of possible applications for the company's HNC100 NC family of electro-hydraulic controls. The controller up to four electro-hydraulic axes.
Ethernet is used for the first time not only with SERCOS III and PROFINET RT but also via a parameterization interface. IndraWorks and the WinPed operating and parameterization software have both been updated with new functionalities and dialogs.
The HNC100-3x control electronics has been optimized for the specific physical behavior of the hydraulics by means of high-performance hydraulic controller structures and NC commands. In addition to is scalability, the functionality of the HNC100-3x includes further improved curve functionalities and expanded diagnostics options. The motion control has digital as well as analog encoder interfaces. Up to eleven freely configurable digital inputs / outputs are provided for greater flexibility in automation.
In future the HNC100-3X will also offer SERCOS II, SERCOS III and PROFINET RT in addition to PROFIBUS DP and CANopen. It will thus enable parameterization independently of the serial interface in addition to being firmly established in the world of Ethernet-based buses.
With the SERCOS drive bus, Rexroth is broadening the IndraMotion control concept for interpolating electric and hydraulic axes, which is finely scalable in hardware and software. The modular IndraWorks engineering environment provides the user with all essential software tools in a uniform look and feel for the commissioning, parameterization and diagnosis of Rexroth electric drives, hydraulic drives and controls.
