List of components in the format-changing drive system

In addition to a control unit and the OCE12C bus coupler, the following components are required for the format-changing drive system:

OSS21C function module/stepper terminal

The function module is a module for controlling a stepper motor. It is used for point-to-point positioning or for complex travel profiles.

Drive/stepper motor

The stepper motor is a hybrid stepper motor that combines the properties of variable reluctance motors and permanent magnet motors. Stepper motors are able to perform precise movements in discrete steps while also offering higher power density and efficiency.

The stepper motor is connected to the system by a power cable and an encoder cable/signal cable.

In the following chapters, the stepper motor is referred to as simply the motor.
