The DistaDrive Series is a powerful, modular motor control platform for industrial DC drives. It is designed for applications where multiple DC motors must be controlled reliably, precisely, and flexibly.
PowerBlock Architecture
Power modules rated at 10 A or 12 A per block
Motor Control
Up to 8 DC motors, parallel control of 4 or 8 motors
Analog Position Feedback
Input signals 0–24 V or 4–20 mA
Communication
TCP/IP (standard), optional PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherCAT, and additional fieldbuses
DISTADRIVE SERIES 4/8
Thanks to the DistaDrive PowerBlock architecture, motor groups can be separated logically and electrically. Each PowerBlock controls multiple motors and provides a clean separation between the power layer and the control layer. This makes the DistaDrive Series especially well suited for scalable machinery and automation solutions.
The integrated analog position measurement enables direct connection of position or linear displacement sensors. Depending on the variant, it supports voltage signals (0–24 V) or current signals (4–20 mA). Modern industrial communication interfaces enable seamless integration into networked automation systems.
DISTADRIVE PM12
Through the modular plug-in design with DistaDrive PM-12 power units, motor control becomes consistently service-friendly and scalable. Power modules can be replaced within seconds when needed—without complex rewiring or long downtime. This concept delivers clear modularity, maximum uptime, precise fault isolation, and a system that grows with your application.
