11.9 Calculating example
A three-axis conveyor vehicle is to be designed. The x-axis is the main
propelling drive, the y-axis is the fork drive and the z-axis is the lifting
drive. The propelling drive and the lifting drive can be operated
simultaneously whereas the fork drive only operates alone. The x-axis
and the y-axis are driven via toothed belts. The z-axis is driven via a
gear rack. Three inverters are to be used on one rectifier unit.
Positioning is to be carried out non-centrally in the inverter. The
Profibus is to be used for connection to a PLC.
