Product Philosophy

Compact control – high performance

Area of application
Many areas of mobile and stationary materials handling technology require compact, vibration-resistant systems that combine drive electronics with intelligence and ensure a high degree of flexibility. To meet these challenges, SEW-EURODRIVE offers a complete drive solution for decentralized installation: MOVIPRO^®, the new drive and positioning control system.

MOVIPRO^®'s areas of application encompass a very wide range of industry sectors, such as automotive engineering, construction materials, metal-processing, production logistics
and many more.

Target industries Automotive Body shop, final assembly, storage logistics Production logistics Wood processing, building materials, mining Intralogistics and transport Airport technology (e.g. elevators) Intralogistics (e.g. high-bay)

Back to top     Typical applications include materials handling units with positioning or with a high power output. These include hoist stations, heavy load belt and chain conveyors, rotary tables, conveyor trolleys, multi-axis handling gantries, etc., wherever decentralized systems are used that require robust housings and flexible connection technology.

Target applications Applications with positioning Hoist Hoist station and elevating table Car body hoist Feeder conveyor High-bay Cycle table Transfer systems on rails Applications without positioning Elevating table Fan etc.

Installation
MOVIPRO^® combines all required functions in one compact unit: Power from 4 to 15 kW, degree of protection IP54, robust aluminum housing and pluggable connections for energy, power and signals. MOVIPRO^® also has no limitations when it comes to communications, because all commercially available fieldbus systems are supported. Several installed drive controllers can be easily connected with each other in standard, decentralized line topology.

MOVIPRO® creates the basis for open and flexible system architectures, whether a new system is being designed or an existing system is being modernized.   Decentralized conveyor lines using MOVIPRO® are far superior to comparable centrally controlled systems, for example, in terms of the reduced space requirements for the electronics and the simplified project-planning, installation and maintenance.

MOVIPRO^® is a decentralized drive and positioning/application controller with the following properties:

• System for mounting close to the motor
• Integrated AC 400 V power distribution (with power interface)
• Integrated DC 24 V power distribution (with power interface)
• Integrated I/O collection
• Integrated communication interface
• Integrated brake control
• Optional motor encoder
• Optional synchronous encoder
• Optional safety technology

Decentralized solutions pay off
Even in the planning phase of complex machine and system structures, attention is paid to uniformity. The standardized installation concept with decentralized components from SEW-EURODRIVE is beneficial in this regard. The decentralized drive and positioning controller MOVIPRO^®-SDC as well as the decentralized drive and application controller MOVIPRO^®-ADC ensures functional compatibility with existing control cabinet applications and provides a consistent software environment with MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio for the entire engineering, i.e. startup, diagnostics and maintenance.

MOVIPRO^® is the optimum drive solution when

• the system concept is based on reusable, modular functions.
• a compact and integrated drive control is required.
• optimum speed control and precise positioning are required.
• I/Os and encoders are to be managed locally.
• fast diagnostics and maintenance are required.
• a complete drive solution from one source is desired.

Safety technology

MOVIPRO^® can be used in safety-oriented applications up to performance level d
(EN ISO 13489-1) .

When using the standard version of MOVIPRO^® with an external emergency stop relay or a higher-level controller:

• STO can be achieved – Safe Torque Off in accordance with IEC 61800-5-2; non-controlled shutdown in accordance with EN 60204-1, stop category 0
• SS1(c) can be achieved – Safe Stop 1, function variant c in accordance with IEC 61800-5-2; controlled shutdown in accordance with EN 60204-1, stop category 1
• Can be used for all fieldbus types

When using MOVIPRO^® with PROFIsafe option S11:

• STO can be achieved – Safe Torque Off in accordance with IEC 61800-5-2; non-controlled shutdown in accordance with EN 60204-1, stop category 0
• Can be used for the fieldbus systems
  –   PROFIBUS
  –   PROFINET IO

• In addition, the following safety function can be realized in conjunction with MOVIPRO® ADC:
  – SBC - safe brake control according to IEC 61800-5-2
