drive.web … configures, connects & controls …
drive.web Elements
The drive.web technology consists of four basic elements, or product groups...
Full featured, programmable controllers that provide i/o, communication gateways and distributed control over Ethernet.
Tiny, full featured, programmable controllers that can easily be embedded in devices such as drives, controllers, HMIs, sensors, etc., to provide "smarts," communication gateways and distributed control over Ethernet.
Smart touch screen technology.
Smart HMIs with machine graphics and operator interface. Also runs on iOS, Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
A multi-user tool that provides everything you need to configure devices (drives, controllers, HMIs, etc.), design systems, perform diagnostics, create system documentation, and acquire and analyze system data.
drive.web Connectivity
- drive.web devices (speedys & smartys) connect peer to peer over Ethernet for a completely homogeneous control environment.
- drive.web devices provide full featured programmable control functions.
- There is no limit to system size or complexity.
- ALL system configuration data and touchscreen display information is stored in the drive.web devices - everything!
- Every facet of your system is easily accessible from anywhere.
