Challenges for B&R Prior to SERVOsoft®

“Configuring a satisfactory multiaxis system using conventional tools is nearly impossible,” explains Friedrich Forthuber, B&R's R&D Manager of the Motion group, and adds “Either the necessary calculations simply take too long or the tools do not cover the entire drive system.”

The decision to use SERVOsoft® has brought B&R the benefits of a standard tool that is used internationally by many manufacturers and drive component users. “SERVOsoft® supports the full spectrum of drive types used by our customers. It is also well-suited for setting up drive systems with a DC bus and active power supply modules using power regeneration,” adds Forthuber. And with SERVOsoft®, "not only will you achieve your results more quickly, you will also achieve better technological and economical results"
