The features of the new touring racks include automatic phase and rotating field detection and switching, Up and Down master runs with only one switch, illuminated display of all operating conditions (such as faults and run directions), and the possibility of connecting external enabling ('dead-man') switches.
Up to 256 drives can be linked in one network, which represents a considerably more affordable solution than the corresponding number of individual controllers, says the company. The M-Link system is also compatible with the Movecat MPC 4ED8 and 4ID8 controllers and can therefore be integrated with existing controllers from the 'smaller' series.
