The NEPTUNE6 driver is designed to resolve a number of problems related to the reaction speed of electro-mechanical actuators powered at 24Vdc (solenoid valves, electric brakes, solenoids, etc.). Using NEPTUNE6 you can drastically reduce the reaction time (activation) of actuators connected to it, thus increasing working speeds. The activation time is cut by instantly over boosting the voltage, which magnetizes the actuator quicker than with a nominal voltage of 24Vdc. The driver with over-boost NEPTUNE 6 has 6 inputs that can be combined with 2 outputs via functions programmed by the user, who may not only establish which conditions activate the outputs, but who may also set the activation times and enable any memory functions (start/stop function). NEPTUNE6 is complete with NEPTUNE6-Com software, which is used to set all the operational parameters on a PC equipped with serial port RS232. NEPTUNE6 has self-diagnosis functions that detect feasible anomalies on the load (disconnected, overload) and on the internal temperature of the driver (overheating), which increase reliability and help identify altered working conditions.

NEW FUNCTIONS

The NEPTUNE6 driver is available in the new version with firmware V2.0, which includes all the functions just mentioned, plus the new pause-run/ fragmentation mode of the adhesive section.

This function is thus entitled because it is devised especially to pilot guns for gluing systems and allows you to fragment a very long section of adhesive into shorter sections, thus saving in adhesive.

NEPTUNE6 has self-diagnosis functions that detect feasible anomalies on the load (disconnected, overload) and on the internal temperature of the driver (overheating), which increase reliability and help identify altered working conditions.

NEPTUNE6 is available in 2 versions: NEPTUNE6 (standard) and NEPTUNE6/HP. The HP model (High-Power) has a built-in cooling fan and has no limitations in the maximum power that can be output, unlike the standard version. Based on these special features, the HP model is suitable for use in particularly heavy-duty conditions (very high working frequency and/or high loads).

Unlike other systems, the NEPTUNE6 driver offers many advantages:

It is easy to install on new and existent systems:

• The NEPTUNE6 board is installed along the cables that connect the actuator to the control system (PLC, cam-controller etc.) without any precautions in particular.
• All it needs to be able to work is a power supply voltage of 24Vdc, thanks to the built-in converter that generates the energizing over-boost voltage.

It safeguards the actuators: the over-boost pulse has a duration of just a few milliseconds, consequently there is no overheating of the coils controlled, which could cause damages, typical in systems in which the actuators are powered at voltages higher than the nominal voltage.

Possibility to program the duration of the over-boost pulse, of the activation time of the outputs and the functions connected to the activation of the outputs (combination of the inputs, memory functions etc.). Conditions that point out anomalies can also be programmed.

It is simple to commission, to install and to check its operating efficiency, thanks to the use of free NEPTUNE6-Com software for systems with Windows™95 or superior operating system.
