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 />
