Module description

The MOVIKIT^® StackerCrane effiDRIVE^® software module is used to operate storage/retrieval systems in an energy-efficient manner. Up to 25% of energy can be saved by optimized travel cycles of lifting and travel drives.

The software module can be used for implementing storage/retrieval systems with up to 4 travel axes and up to 4 lifting axes. Both directions of movement require at least one external encoder each, or must be connected to the environment without slip.

Target positions and dynamic parameters for the travel axes (X axis) and lifting axes (Y axis) are specified by means of a user-friendly process data interface. The software modules "MOVIKIT^® StackerCrane MultiMotion" and "MOVIKIT^® StackerCrane MultiAxisController" are available for adding lower-level single axes or groups of axes. The MOVIKIT^® MultiAxisController can also be used with only one lower-level axis. It increases the range of functions, as shown in the figure below.
