Required distance between the movers
To avoid collisions, a distance must be set between two movers in TwinCAT. Further information can be found in the documentation TF5410 | Motion Collision Avoidance:

Notice | |
Removing the NCT electronics Before commissioning a system with No Cable Technology for the first time and before commissioning new motion profiles, the NCT electronics must be removed from the movers to avoid collisions. The NCT electronics can only be mounted on the movers once all the motion profiles are working in operation. Remove the NCT electronics from the movers before initial commissioning and before commissioning new motion profiles. Test all movement profiles of the movers without the NCT electronics mounted. Only mount the NCT electronics after all motion profiles are working. |
180° curved segment
The distance between two movers [1] is 72 mm on straight modules. On curved modules AT2050-0500, the distance between two movers is 58 mm. The distance is measured at the center of the coils [2].
If you are using movers with NCT electronics [3], a distance of 130 mm is required on the curved modules AT2050-0500 .
45° curved segment
The distance between two movers [1] is 72 mm on straight modules. On curved modules AT2050-0500, the distance between two movers is 63 mm. The distance is measured at the center of the coils [2].
If you are using movers with NCT electronics [3], a distance of 80 mm is required on the curved modules AT2050-0500.
