Function highlights
Machine control level
Within each Motor control mode, a range of 
“machine” control functions, belonging to 
Machine control level, is available. These functions 
aim to give to users and designers of Active Cube a 
set of ready-to-use routines and functions able to 
fit, with few adjustments, the automation needs of 
many different machines and sectors: PID function, 
Master/Slave synchronization, electronic shaft/
gear, torque/speed switching, and position control 
functions are only few examples.

Application control level
Third level “Application (specific) control level” 
includes particular features and control routines 
designed to match the requirements of unusual 
industrial applications.
These functions are giving to Active Cube 
exceptional ability to fulfil non-common needs 
of such applications: no necessity of customized 
versions of the drive, because software functions 
are stored in standard Active Cube devices and can 
be activated directly by customer.
Examplesare:spindlecontrolupto1000Hz
(machining), extended brake control with load 
detection (lifting), synchronized “traverse” 
function (yarn winders), motion blocks 
management.
