Electronic gearbox as cascade
The technology application "Electronic gearbox" is often operated as cascade since
changes of speed/gearbox ratio of an upstream drive also have an effect on the
subsequent drive.
r Typical applications are, for instance, stretching machines, wire drawing machines and
roller mills.
r There is no position reference between tool and material. However, it may be required
to position the tools for maintenance work.
r The master speed is transmitted via the digital frequency or ETHERNET Powerlink (in
preparation).
