Positioning of storage and retrieval systems with end position monitoring

High-precision absolute positioning is achieved using the Dx100 long range distance sensor. The sensor generates the measured values, clock-synchronized with the control command. The ISD400 optical data transmission system replaces the field bus cabling to the storage and retrieval system, thus enabling wear-free and therefore low-maintenance system operation. The multitude of field bus versions allows easy integration of the ISD400 into a variety of different networks. The i110R safety position switch stops the storage and retrieval system as soon as the end position is exceeded.
