Welcome to the world of drive.web!

drive.web … configures, connects & controls …
everything, from anywhere!



drive.web Overview

drive.web

is an entirely new Internet accessible distributed control technology for machine or process controls.



It uses TCP/IP over Ethernet to provide robust connectivity between drives, remote i/o, PLCs, operator stations and SCADA systems.

It incorporates a powerful library of drive control function blocks for a wide range of applications such as PIDs, winder controls, position controls, drive coordination, arithmetic, logic, etc.

It is infinitely scaleable and the distributed control concept ensures that it is cost effective for systems of any size or complexity.

drive.web

provides a completely homogeneous and seamless environment for control systems.


drive.web Elements


The drive.web technology consists of four basic elements, or product groups...

smarty

Full featured, programmable controllers that provide i/o, communication gateways and distributed control over Ethernet.

speedy

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.

savvyPanel

Smart touch screen technology.
Smart HMIs with machine graphics and operator interface. Also runs on iOS, Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

savvy

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.


drive.web Key Features

  • Online or offline design

    of drive systems using the intelligent, intuitive savvy software tools.

  • Graphical Signal Flow Diagram

    option provides clear, intuitive system views and documentation.

  • Internet access

    to drives and systems for remote configuration, monitoring, diagnostics and training.

  • Any size or complexity

    of system supported.

  • Low cost

    full-featured Distributed Control capability.

  • Multiple users

    from any location can have concurrent real-time access to drives and systems.

  • Libraries of software blocks

    such as winder controls, PID controls, position controls, drive synchronization, arithmetic, logic, etc., are used to build system functions of unlimited complexity.

  • Unlimited bandwidth

    even with very large networks of drives and controls.

  • Industry standard TCP/IP over Ethernet

    is used to provide networking of drives and controls.

  • Platform independent savvy software tools

    run on any computer OS that supports Java.

  • Automated software updates

    are provided from driveweb.com.

  • Deterministic connections

    provide high performance links between drives, PLCs, Operator Stations, SCADA computers and other control products.

  • “Drag & drop” technique

    makes easy connections between drives, control devices, and software function block parameters.

  • “Dock” feature

    enables users to easily select key monitoring, control and connection points in a large system and “dock” them in convenient windows which can be saved. The “dock” concept aids the organization and documentation of complex systems.

  • Powerful navigation

    capability enables users to drill down into detail layers in drives and system processors and to search, jump and browse anywhere in the system for easy visual system comprehension.

  • “Trend” window

    enables parameter values to be tracked graphically over time.

  • VPN (Virtual Private Networking)

    for secure Internet connectivity is supported in addition to direct Internet addressing.

  • Password protection

    is provided for drives and devices as well as the savvy tools.

  • Feature sets

    in savvy provide different user levels for Admin, Engineer, Operate and View.

  • ModbusTCP/IP

    direct interface over Ethernet.

  • Modbus RTU

    on RS485 ports provide low cost for interface to drives, Operator Stations, PLCs, etc.
