halstrup-walcher has developed the intelligent PSxHub to implement the parallel operation of positioning systems for format adjustment as efficiently as possible: As an active bus component, the smart connection element offers simple integration for up to 16 positioning systems from the PSD family (PSD 4xx with IO-Link), ensures smooth communication with the controller and is economical thanks to the single-cable solution with unshielded, standard A-coded cables, among other things.
The flexibly configurable synchronization control and monitoring integrated in the PSxHub ensures synchronized parallel operation of the controlled positioning systems. As a flexible technology platform, the PSxHub enables a wider performance spectrum (e.g. in terms of power requirements and synchronization) compared to classic IO-Link hubs without a control function. With its compact housing design from 14.2 x 16.4 x 6.4 cm (control cabinet version), it is an efficient and space-saving solution for central data and power transmission. The PSxHub is available for the Industrial Ethernet systems PROFINET and EtherCAT (others on request).
