CTOPC Server
OPC is the industry standard for connecting industrial automation components to higher-level information systems such as SCADA, MRP, ERP and others. Control Techniques’ CTOPC server is an OPC-compliant server that allows PCs to communicate with Control Techniques drives via Ethernet, CTNet, RS485 and USB. The OPC standard allows OPC clients to browse data from an OPC server thus eliminating the need for gateway data concentrators or proprietary drivers and gateways. CTOPC server “serves” data to the various OPC clients then polls data from all Control Techniques components connected via Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP or CTNet.
CTSize
This easy-to-use servo drive sizing software helps select the optimum system in just six steps:
1.Select one of six pre-configured load types: Leadscrew,
Rack and Pinion, Conveyor, Cylinder, Feedroll and User
Defined.
2.Fill in the load details.
3.Enter the load’s motion profile, making use of profile-type shortcuts or creating multi-segment profiles.
4.Select speed reduction from Belt/Pulley, Gear/Gear, Chain/Sprocket, or Gearbox for up to three separate stages of reduction.
5.Select from all products or narrow the search to a specific drive and/or motor.
The optimum motor/drive combination appears in the Results tab.
CTScope
This Windows®-based software utility is designed to trend/ trace parameter values on Control Techniques drives and op- tion modules. CTScope has the look and feel of a traditional hardware oscilloscope and can plot up to four channels of data simultaneously. All channel data appears in single-scope view for easy comparison and CTScope files can be saved for future use.
CTSoft
Control Techniques’ free drive configuration tool can be used to commission, optimize and monitor Unidrive SP “Base” drives. CTSoft uses wizards to simplify commissioning, manages data stored on the SmartCard and features robust and graphical tools for monitoring and troubleshooting. The status of the program can be monitored and the speed of the motion reduced for commissioning and testing purposes.
