Ensure seamless, effortless coordination of multiple axes and drives
As an operator of complex systems, you need to ensure that different motion sequences, multiple axes, and various drives are precisely coordinated with one another The efficiency of your production depends on this. In order to ensure this required intelligent coordination, you also need both intelligent and reliable control technology.
The control cards from our controller hardware portfolio have been precisely tailored to meet this requirement. Control cabinet installation units are used wherever users are required to implement centrally processed applications.
Thanks to their simple operation and multitude of ready-to-use function modules, they ensure the efficient implementation of motion functions. Their real potential comes to the fore when movements are permitted across multiple axes and need to be coordinated precisely. If the different motion axes within a system are connected via a rapid, synchronous system bus, our recommendation would be to control all motion control tasks via a single controller. Our control technology is ideally equipped for this too. Depending on the performance class, our controllers can handle up to 64 axes using an SBus or SBUSPLUS (system bus with onboard EtherCAT interface). The integrated system bus also allows connection to any of the inverter types in our portfolio.
You can also benefit from the outstanding performance features of our control technology and implement functional and cost-efficient automation for your systems and machines.
You can choose from our different performance levels, each providing optimum control of all motion sequences, depending on your machine and automation requirements:
- DHx21B standard performance class for use as a module controller with motion control functions such as positioning, average response times, and a maximum of 16 axes.
- DHx41B advanced performance class for use as a module controller with high-end, motion-control functions such as electronic gear units, electronic cams and robotics, short response times, and a maximum of 16 axes.
- UHX71B power performance class for use as a module controller or controller for complete automation for demanding motion-control and automation tasks, response times in the 1-millisecond range, and a maximum of 64 axes. The controller can be extended by a second Windows 7 Embedded operating system.

Application Configurator for CCUs
Our Application configurator provides a large number of standardized, configurable software modules. It makes the process of configuring basic single-access application modules and complex multi-axis application modules significantly easier, and completely dispenses with the need for programming.
Configure rather than program, using our CCU (Configurable control unit)
Are you a machine operator looking for suitable control solutions that are easy to configure and automate? Is quick startup without the need for tedious programming important to you?
With standardized application modules that require only minimal configuration and can be run directly, our Application Configurator control software for CCUs gives you the reassurance you need. The functionality of these modules is tailored for each specific application. This allows you to configure your drive applications quickly and easily, without the need for programming expertise. An integrated diagnostics function also helps you get your machine up and running with minimum effort and delay. Once you have configured the application modules, they run on the associated controller hardware, independently of your drive electronics system.
- Single-axis application modules: Configurable software modules for controlling single axes in various operating modes such as speed control, positioning, and phase-synchronous operation.
- Multi-axis application modules: Configurable software modules for controlling complex motion sequences for stacker cranes, winding applications, and kinematic applications, for example.
- Our experts understand your industry and requirements.
- Our global network ensures we are there wherever and whenever you need us.
- We have the expertise and the tools to provide optimum advice and support.
