Modular machine platform

IndraMotion MLD merges drive functions, motion control and processing logic into an open automation platform for modular machine concepts. The drive-integrated motion and logic eliminates the need for higher-level controls, according to the company. The platform enables space-saving solutions with up to 8 axes, suitable for applications such as carton erecting and labeling. The main hardware component is the IndraDrive digital drive system. One of the company’s HMIs can be connected directly to the drive via serial, Ethernet or Fieldbus for a complete system solution. The multi-axis version, IndraMotion MLD-M, uses a SERCOS III interface to enable drive-level programming, diagnostics and troubleshooting over standard Ethernet.
