Being able to directly integrate drive components into the machine is a fundamental requirement for modular machine manufacturing. B&R has designed the ACOPOSremote distributed drive system to meet this requirement, allowing implementation of drive solutions that are completely optimized to the application at hand.

Drive solutions that are tailored exactly to the application are essential to keeping machines and systems competitive. That's why directly integrating inverters in the immediate environment of the actuator – without the need for additional accompanying measures – is the perfect solution. With the new ACOPOSremote drive system, B&R is now accommodating this wish. This architecture offers many different advantages when it comes to machine configuration.
The ideal topology
One of the most substantial advantages has to do with the hybrid cabling between the inverters themselves. Simply connecting ACOPOSremote drive modules together in a line – the "daisy chain" wiring scheme – results in an uncomplicated and flexible machine architecture where energy is passed from one drive module to the next.
Free motor selection
Because the inverter is separate from the motor, the user is free to select the actuator best suited to his drive solution. This type of installation is particularly well suited for the increasingly prevalent linear and torque motors. It prevents the properties of the motor from being negatively influenced, and the maximum possible dynamics remain available throughout.
