PacDrive Controller
The PacDrive controller, a Pentium-based control hardware with
the real-time operating system VxWorks, centrally realizes the PLC
and motion functions.
A PacDrive controller synchronizes, coordinates and generates the
positioning functions for the drives of a food and packaging
machine.
A variety of standard HMIs are used for HMI tasks. Whether low-
cost clear text or IPC - no problem for the flexible PacDrive
Controller.
