SoftDrive

The SoftDrive connects each mover to an NC axis. The SoftDrive uses the NC setpoint profile to control the position, velocity and current for moving the movers and generates the required current and current direction.

The SoftDrive provides the NC axis with the actual data required to generate the NC profiles. The connection between the SoftDrive and the respective Mover is made via DataPointer.

For more information on SoftDrive, refer to the XTS Soft Drive documentation or contact the product specialist responsible for your region.
