What is distributed drive technology?

What are the main differences between centralized and decentralized drive technology?
What are the main differences between centralized and decentralized drive technology?

In recent years, distributed drive technology has become a key part of automation and drive technology. It offers significant advantages over traditional centralized approaches, especially in terms of flexibility, scalability, and efficiency. Distributed drive technology moves drive components, such as servo drives or stepper motor terminals, out of the control cabinet and into the machine.

In contrast to centralized drive technology, in which all control and regulation components are housed in a central control cabinet, the components involved in distributed drive technology are installed directly in the housing of the motor.

Your head start with distributed drive systems from Beckhoff:

  • control cabinet-free concepts
  • space-saving, straightforward, and smaller footprint
  • reduced material and labor costs
  • simple wiring and low installation and commissioning costs
  • EtherCAT system
  • high level of modularity for system adaptations or extensions
  • connection of additional I/O signals in IP65 configurations possible
