Firmware update for D1

A new function is the "Modulo Axe", which enables time- and distance-optimised movements on rotary axes. With a 360° rotary axis, the motor control unit decides for itself whether to turn anti-clockwise or clockwise in order to travel the shortest distance. This is particularly advantageous for QA or inspection systems with downstream sorting in order to work efficiently.

The function "E-cylinder", is the simplest movement from A to B using two digital signals. One signal starts the movement to point A and the other signal to point B. This function is familiar from pneumatic drives, but they require too much energy and are therefore inefficient. With the new function, pneumatic cylinders can be replaced by motorised drives.

In addition, the D1 has been enhanced with functions that significantly simplify commissioning. Some inputs for the motor or the movement limits, as well as the actual movement, are mandatory. If these entries are made incorrectly or forgotten, the D1 recognises this and informs the operator of the error. An alarm message with a note is displayed in the control interface (GUI).
