Drive control system
for Roll-to-Roll: System MXⅡ
A drive control system product optimized for roll-to-roll transport equipment, integrating essential control functions such as tension control.
Features
１.Packaged Software Specialized for Roll-to-Roll Control
Functions required for controlling a wide variety of equipment, including paper processing, film converting,
printing, and metal processing, are modularized into functional blocks.
The packaged software enables easy adaptation to a wide range of equipment.
The control software can be flexibly customized to meet each customer's system configuration.
This allows optimal control to be implemented in a short period of time while reducing engineering effort and
maintaining high control quality.
２.High Precision and Advanced Synchronization
-
Ethernet-Based Dedicated Communication Protocol（MC-LINK）
Minimizes variations in data transmission and reception between nodes connected to the network.
It delivers superior performance not only for standard line control applications but also for high-speed,
high-precision synchronized control applications. -
Achieves Complete Synchronization for Line System Control
Vector control calculations for all axes and line control calculations from unwinding to rewinding are processed centrally in complete synchronization.
This architecture delivers unprecedented system performance.
３.Easy Commissioning and Condition Analysis
Comprehensive dedicated tuning tools are provided for roll-to-roll control applications.
Multi-axis high-speed monitoring and FFT analysis functions simplify periodic analysis of tension fluctuations
and machine vibrations.
４.Remote Monitoring and Troubleshooting
By connecting a PC with the System MXII tuning tool to the Internet through a Wi-Fi router or similar device, remote monitoring and troubleshooting can be performed easily.
Remote operation of the customer’s PC is also possible.
Changes that affect machine operation, such as parameter modifications, are handled in consultation with the
customer while considering operational safety.
