Coordinated multi-axis system
In a coordinated multi-axis system, the motion sequences are in a permanently time-defined rela-
tionship (e.g. applications with cams or clock-related systems).
• In the DSD, you can optimally dimension a multi-axis system with coordinated drive axes relat-
ing to energy.
• Lenze BlueGreen Solutions serves to calculate amortisation times quickly. The cost-cutting po-
tentials are documented in an Energy Performance Certificate.
[7-194] Power characteristic of two coordinated drive axes
Uncoordinated multi-axis system
Uncoordinated motion sequences are not associated with regard to time. Even if only single drive
axes of the multi-axis system are uncoordinated, the DSD calculates with the most unfavourable
power characteristic:
• The peak powers of all single axes occur at the same time.
• The supply components of the network must provide the sum of peak powers in generator
mode and in motor mode of all drive axes.
[7-195] Power characteristic for two uncoordinated drive axes
Power characteristic drive axis 1
Power characteristic drive axis 2
Total power
Power characteristic drive axis 1
Power characteristic drive axis 2
The determination of the total power is not possible because there is no relationship between the power character-
istics.
