Recommended routes

Control migration

Move ordinary commands into the PLC where it makes sense.

The selected network can carry normal commands, references, status and diagnostics. Safety functions remain subject to the machine safety design and risk assessment.

Can move to network
    Retain or assess separately
    • Emergency-stop and safety-chain architecture
    • STO wiring or safety-network design
    • Critical permissives needed independently of communications
    • Local isolation and maintenance controls
    PLC implementation
    Drive_RunCmdDrive_SpeedRefDrive_ResetCmdDrive_ReadyDrive_ActualSpeedDrive_FaultCode

    Map the selected drive's command and status words into a reusable PLC function block or Add-On Instruction, with communications-loss handling defined.

    Mechanical migration

    Compare the existing and proposed footprints.

    Select an exact drive catalogue number and enter its published dimensions. The comparison highlights enclosure space and mounting changes before a quotation is finalised.

    Exact dimensions vary by voltage, current, duty, enclosure and frame. We deliberately do not invent a “typical” footprint.

    Family data begins with manufacturer information.

    This first version provides family-level recommendations. Exact catalogue-number selection and dimensions must be checked against current technical data.
