Digital Servo Drive offers true axis synchronization.

Bosch Rexroth Corp. Oct 10, 2002

Press Release Summary:

Model HNC 100 freely programmable, bus-capable NC control is designed for electromechanical and electrohydraulic drives. User can program sequence via PC using WIN-PED software. Local CAN-bus can be used to link individual drives for general data exchange or for implementing synchronization controls. HNC 100 can communicate with higher level controls via Profibus-DP, INTERBUS-S, and CANopen fieldbuses. SERCOS interface is optional.

Original Press Release:

Rexroth HNC 100 Series 2X Provides Digital Servo Drive for Electromechanical and Electrohydraulic Drives

Company will feature HNC 100 Series 2X at IMTS 2002, September 4-11, 2002 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Booth #4222

Compact, modular, fieldbus-ready drive offers closed-loop control, sequence programming, and communication flexibility

The HNC Series 2X digital servo drive from the Industrial Hydraulics division of Bosch Rexroth is a freely programmable, bus-capable NC control for electromechanical and electrohydraulic drives.

The HNC 100 offers true axis synchronization. Due to open- and closed-loop control algorithms specifically tailored to the special characteristics of hydraulics, optimum performance of electrohydraulic drives can be achieved.

The customer can program the sequence via a PC using the HNC's WIN-PED software. The NC programming provides greater flexibility of the HNC, and it can complement existing user know-how with its common platform.

As a standard, each HNC 100 features a local CAN-bus, which can be used to link the individual drives for general data exchange or for implementing synchronization controls, resulting in a scalable automation concept using modular principles.

Finally, the HNC 100 can communicate with higher-level controls via Profibus-DP, INTERBUS-S, and CANopen fieldbuses. As a new option, the HNC 100 is now available with SERCOS interface, the most common communication system for electrical drives.
