2.2.1 PACDRIVE AUTOMATION SYSTEM – ELAU GMBH<br />
The PacDrive automation system by ELAU GmbH is used to control different applications with<br />
the same software. The applications is programmed with help by the program EPAS-4 and then<br />
transferred into a PacDrive controller which controls the motions of the different drives in the<br />
system. Figure 2.1 shows the structure of the PacDrive system. The PacDrive controller is the<br />
brain of the system where the program code is stored, which in turn synchronize and sends<br />
information over a SERCOS bus to the different servo drives (MC-4 motor controllers)<br />
connected to the system. Each servo drive then controls the motion of the motor shaft using the<br />
information from the PacDrive controller.<br />
Figure 2.1 (3), Shows the architecture of a ELAU GmbH packaging system. The applications are transferred over<br />
Ethernet to a PacDrive controller which in turn can be monitored and controlled by a touch screen. The reference<br />
motion signal which is created in the PacDrive controller is transferred over a SERCOS bus to a drive unit which<br />
controls the motor based on information from the motors real shaft position.<br />
