Murrelektronik’s tough fieldbus module, MVK Metal with 7/8” connection, is now available with Fast Start-Up and galvanic separation. Fast Start-Up provides the shortest possible setup and start-up times.
On automotive assembly lines there are many robots that have to perform multiple tasks. Each separate task requires a change in their tools, and these connecting and reconnecting processes need to be carried out in the shortest time possible, Therefore, the time between connecting power to the robot and the first cyclic data exchange has to be as short as possible. With the integrated ProfiNet function Fast Start-Up, or FSU, MVK meets the demanding requirements for start-up times: within 400ms of a tool change, the module is operating.
The module has a solid zinc die-cast housing making it resistant to weld spatter, oils and lubricants; and each module is fully potted, making it resistant to shock and vibration. A screwed-in metal back plate protects the potting and keeps electromagnetic interference to a minimum. In addition, the 7/8” connections are a guarantee for a perfect seal, claims the company.
