MACHINE CONTROL VIA SMARTPHONEThe visionary concept from AMK

Bring the digital revolution to your production.

As a trailblazer in meeting the digital challenges in drive engineering, AMK dedicates itself to implementing

its digital expertise in the epoch of Industry 4.0. Here, machine control via smartphone offers a multitude

of benefits, and can reduce your total costs of ownership significantly.

This approach, that embraces the technology of the future, is already reality today. AMK gets your machines

ready for the digital revolution with a combination of smartphones, apps and intelligent drives. During this

process, it separates control tasks into realtime-critical and non-realtime-critical. The realtime-critical job

package is completely integrated in the innovative AMK MultiServo compact inverter module, and so in the

system at drive level. No industrial hardware is used for non-realtime-critical process control. Mobile standard

devices from the consumer sector are used instead.

In this concept, OPC UA, an up-to-date industrial communication standard, is used to enable the drive and

smartphone to communicate with each other effectively. This, by its nature, supplies all the security

mechanisms necessary for secure communication.

Your work becomes easier, more productive and more cost-effective.

Thanks to the integration of the process control in the smartphone or tablet, developers, implementers and

on-site staff can use a familiar man-machine interface, because it is the same as their own smartphone.

This helps them to learn how to use production machines much more quickly. Users perform all the actions

involved in operating and programming the system, including motion control, in apps that are hierarchically

arranged by function. These apps provide the user with all the functionality necessary to control, operate and

display processes and data for the machine, replacing powerful, and therefore complicated, centralized

engineering environments. As the apps are independent of their highly specialized electronics, there is no

longer any need to wait for anyone else when developing new versions of apps. As a result, when new

versions are developed, they can immediately be used on your own machine, increasing productivity and

performance, to boost profits.

The benefits:

+ Many millions of units of this hardware already exist

+ Intuitive smartphone operation

+ Easy updates via apps

+ Much lower TCO

+ Value retention by separating hardware and software

AMK MultiServo 4 inverters and a power supply in a single module

The benefits:

+ Uses up to 60 % less space than normal systems in the control cabinet

+ Needs less wiring

+ Easy and quick to install, as only one housing is needed

+ Flexible use of cooling systems: air- or liquid-cooled

+ Integrated STO safety function, can be extended by adding functional safety

+ Multi-functional encoder interface including encoderless, for asynchronous or synchronous motors

+ Application-optimized software and control for vibration damping

+ Prepared for a wide variety of communication interfaces and so directly usable on

different controllers

+ Easy to adapt via Motion APPs

Discover the new generation of AMK‘s compact inverter modules.

When you are automating your processes, AMK offers you a big boost in productivity and efficiency.

Now you can create servo axis control systems that are even more multi-functional, accurate, cheap

and up to 60 % more compact. The AMK MultiServo combines several servo axes and the power

supply into a single module. You can scale this innovative solution exactly to your requirements.

Let our experts advise you on how to achieve the maximum output for your objectives.

Highlights

• Number of servo axes: 2 or 4 • Power rating of axes: 1 kVA, 2 kVA, and 4 kVA• Power supply rating: 5 kW and 20 kW • Two times the overload per axis and two times the overload for the power supply for every 10 s • Input power 3 x 400…480 V +/- 10 % • Width of module for 4 axes with power supply: only 130 mm• Safety function: STO, can be expanded by adding functional safety• Motion APPs for motion tasks

AMK MOTION APPSSimple load them, and everything runs. It can‘t get more efficient.

The benefits:

+ Standardized Motion APPs for motion tasks: axis synchronization, print mark control, winders,

cross cutters, electronic gearing, gantries and many more.

+ Customized APPs are optional: supplied by AMK or yourself

+ Various communications interfaces possible: EtherCat, Profinet, Varan, Ethernet IP and OPC UA

+ Extensive Service APPs: remote diagnostics, application help and condition monitoring

+ Motion APPs can be combined with Service APPs

+ Latest display options in any browser (HTML5)

+ Motion APPs can be loaded from the AMK APP-Collection

Standardized flexibility for motion control in the MultiServo.

Industry 4.0, with its integration of industrial production and the latest communication technology is increasingly

determining the TCO (total cost of ownership) of machines and equipment. AMK offers the perfect solution –

whether you have your motion profile performed by a central motion controller or distributed in the machine.

The new AMK Motion APPs reduce engineering effort. At the same time flexibility increases and TCO reduces.

Ideal for quick and easy adaptation of AMK’s MultiServo to meet your application‘s requirements.

Load Motion APPs – done. It‘s that simple. It can‘t get more simple and efficient!

Ò Central drive solutions• A series motion controllers: compact control cabinet motion controllers, also with touch-screen

containing programming in CODESYS, display and motion control

• The compact KE power supplies generate the DC intermediate circuit,

which in turn supplies the KW modular inverters

• The MultiServo multi-axis inverter combines the power supply and motion control in one compact housing,

Motion control can be integrated via Motion APPs

• The synchronous servo motors have impressively high power density with efficient cooling methods

• The SKT hollow shaft motors and the ready-to-install SEZ electrical cylinder are predestined for

linear applications with high forces, yet also exceptional positioning accuracy

• The iC decentralized converter can supply an axis with up to 5 kVA and also provides an

intermediate circuit and 24 V for additional servo inverters

• The iX is a decentralized inverter for the installation close to the motor

• The iDT‘s motor and inverter form one compact unit

• The ihXT servo inverter-integrated motors combine the DC bus with real-time

Ethernet communication, STO and 24 V

• Synchronous servo motors from 150 W to 5 KW rating supply exactly the right power

The future is flexible, combinable and modular.

The growing trend to modularization in mechanical engineering means that drive units are crowding ever closer

to where it‘s all happening. A perfect environment for decentral drive concepts. On the other hand, there are

also naturally power-intensive processes that make it necessary to create a central automation solution.

In automation, there is sometimes still no getting away from the need for the classic drive solution with a power

supply and inverter in a control cabinet. For that reason, the guaranteed way to improve efficiency is to combine

both approaches and their particular benefits. AMK‘s hybrid automation solutions offer never before imagined

freedom when it comes to designing machines, and are becoming the standard in automation technology.
