RBD-S+ Servo Controllers: The Smart PLC Alternative

Groschopp AG presents the new RBD-S+ servo controller
This advancement sets new standards in cost-effectiveness and flexibility, offering machine builders a compact solution for demanding automation tasks.
More interfaces, less hardware

Thanks to a second CAN interface and an optional touch display, the device features significantly more digital inputs and outputs. The controller autonomously handles extensive control tasks, rendering a higher-level PLC obsolete in many cases. This saves valuable space in the control cabinet and significantly reduces acquisition costs.
Technical Highlights

With a nominal output of 800 VAC, the RBD-S+ is exceptionally powerful compared to its predecessor. In addition, it reads a wide variety of encoder systems with high precision, such as absolute encoders (Hiperface, EnDat), resolvers, and SinCos encoders. Depending on the requirements, it can be flexibly used as a torque, speed, or position controller.
Scalable application in plant engineering

The controller is ideally suited for highly dynamic cutting machines, winding machines, or presses. In small machines, it operates completely autonomously and replaces the PLC. In larger multi-axis systems with complex interpolations, however, it integrates seamlessly as a reliable node into an existing network with a higher-level control system.
