Distributed drive system

Being able to directly integrate drive components into the machine is a fundamental requirement for modular machine manufacturing. B&R has designed the ACOPOSremote distributed drive system to meet this requirement, allowing implementation of drive solutions that are completely optimized to the application at hand.

Drive solutions that are matched perfectly to the application are essential to keep machines and systems competitive. That's why directly integrating inverters in the immediate environment of the actuator – without the need for additional accompanying measures – represents an ideal situation. With the new ACOPOSremote drive system, B&R is now accommodating this wish. This architecture offers many different advantages when it comes to machine configuration.

The ideal topology

One of the most substantial advantages has to do with the hybrid cabling between the inverters themselves. Simply connecting ACOPOSremote drive modules together in a line – the "daisy chain" wiring scheme – results in an uncomplicated and flexible machine architecture where energy is passed from one drive module to the next.
