SEW-EURODRIVE Connector

The SEW-EURODRIVE Connector app leverages the ctrlX OS App EtherCAT Master to seamlessly integrate MOVI-C® drives with ctrlX OS Devices. Any CiA-402-compliant drive can be connected - whether cabinet-based like MOVIDRIVE® or decentralized like MOVIMOT®. A user-friendly web interface simplifies parameterization, diagnostics, and manual testing.

How does it work? - On the one hand the SEW-EURODRIVE Connector implements a web frontend that supports all relevant information for your MOVI-C® drives. On the other hand the app implements a ctrlX Data Layer connection to interchange all control ans status words with the ctrlX EtherCAT Master, that provides the communication to the MOVI-C® axis.
