Introduction
The competitive situation in the mechanical and system engineering sector
requires new means to optimise the production costs. This is why modular
machine and system engineering is becoming increasingly more important,
since individual solutions can now be set up easily and cost-effectively from
a single modular system.
For an optimal communication between the single modules of a system,
fieldbus systems are increasingly used for process automation. Lenze offers
the following communication modules for the standard fieldbus systems:
ƒ CAN (Lenze system bus)
ƒ CANopen
ƒ PROFIBUS-DP
ƒ Interbus
ƒ INTERBUS loop
ƒ DeviceNet
ƒ LON
ƒ AS-i
The communication modules are especially designed for Lenze drive
components and flexible use. You can use the same communication
modules for Lenze servo inverters and Lenze frequency inverters.
This means for you: Easy communication.
ƒ You must only know one communication system.
ƒ Handling is always the same.
ƒ You reduce your costs because you can make use of the knowledge
gained once.
– Training is only required once.
– The planning time becomes shorter.
The decision for a fieldbus systems depends on many different factors. The
following overviews will help you to find the solution for your application.
