Signal collection device i.e. transmitter-collection box, for use in drive system in e.g. robot applications, has data processing unit parallely reading data and serially outputting data at output port without time delay

摘要

The device (13) has an input port (131) for receiving data i.e. position-dependent data of a servomotor (10), and an output port (132) for sending the data, where the data are generated during operation of the servomotor. A data processing unit parallely reads the data received by the input port, and serially outputs the data at the output port without time delay using a port identification. The input and output ports are arranged at a housing of the data processing unit, where the housing has international protection rating (IP) 65type of protection. An independent claim is also included for a drive system comprising a signal distribution device.
