MOVIKIT® modular system for Power and Energy Solutions

MOVIKIT® software modules are standardized control programs with a defined process data interface and a user-friendly parameterization and diagnostics interface, which run on the controllers in the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER series from SEW-EURODRIVE.

The characteristics of the MOVIKIT® software modules are:

  • Wide range of functions.
  • User-friendly user interface.
  • It is only necessary to enter the parameters needed for the particular application.
  • No lengthy training or familiarization, which means quick configuration and startup.

The tasks of the MOVIKIT® modular system for Power and Energy Solutions can be divided into 4 main areas:

  1. Collecting and analyzing power and energy data
    • Communication between the MOVIKIT® software module, the MDP92A power supply module, and the DC/DC converter module MDE90A to collect power and energy data at the connection to the supply system and the DC link or energy storage unit.
    • Communication between the MOVIKIT® software module and the axis modules for determining the power demand of the connected drives.
    • Flexible energy meter available directly on the controller.
  2. Managing the DC link
    • Assigning voltage setpoints for the DC link.
    • DC link is defined as the central power node for supply and output power values.
    • Calculating the power of the energy storage unit connected to the DC link.
    • Discharge of the DC link via optional discharge resistor.
  3. Managing the AC connection
    • Limitation of the grid power by specifying the maximum power consumption (peak shaving).
    • Determining the phase-to-phase voltages.
    • Calculating the current consumption of the individual line phases in a symmetrical three-phase current grid.
    • Detecting phase failures and power failures.
    • Calculating the remaining runtime of the system after a power failure.
  4. Managing the energy storage unit
    • Providing storage-relevant data such as temperature, voltage and overvoltage.
    • Aggregation of storage unit data from several modules, e.g. for the DLC network.
    • Transferring the storage status to the IEC application program for further processing.
    • Processing of diagnostic data for selected energy storage units.

MOVIKIT® software modules are represented by ready-made IEC function blocks that are used to perform the individual tasks.
