Firmware update for D1

... functional extension ...

The new firmware update of the D1 includes 11 updates. In addition to the "Modulo axis", which enables time- and path-optimised movements, there is also the "E-cylinder" function, which allows for an easy replacement of pneumatic drives. Further firmware updates, such as "pulse/direction function" with automatic step resolution to minimise noise, CANopen optimisation for information messages or heartbeat function, have also been integrated. You will also be able to install further firmware updates on the D1 in future. We look forward to customer ideas and requests, which we can integrate.

The most important updates in detail

The D1 was developed eight years ago with digital signal processors and an integrated web server interface, so that it would still be up-to-date years later. This basis allows for regular release updates with new features that work with Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla.

"Modulo axis"

A new function is the "Modulo axis", which makes time- and path-optimised movements possible on rotary axes. With a 360° rotary axis, the motor control system decides for itself whether to turn left or right so as to go the shortest way. This is a great advantage if you want to work efficiently, especially for QA or inspection systems with downstream sorting.

"E-cylinder"

The "E-cylinder" function is the simplest movement from A to B using two digital signals. One signal starts the movement to point A and the other signal to point B. This function is known in pneumatic drives, which, however, require too much energy and are therefore inefficient. With the new function, pneumatic cylinders can be replaced with motor drives.

"Commissioning aid"

Furthermore, functions that significantly simplify commissioning have been added to the D1. Some input about the motor or the movement limits, as well as the actual movement, are mandatory. If these inputs were made incorrectly or forgotten, the D1 notices this and draws the operator's attention to the error. An alarm message with a note is displayed in the control interface (GUI).
