The cable between the Mirka AIROS sanding head and the control panel is specifically designed to be used in robotic applications.

For the time being, the AIROS comes without a force sensor. External load and force sensors can be fitted, depending of the robot in question.

The following electronic components are included in the different panels:

Modbus:
Motor Drive Unit
48 V Power Supply Unit

Profinet:
Motor Drive Unit
48 V Power Supply Unit
Profinet Gateway
24 V Power Supply Unit
Profinet Adapter cable

Codes are available in the manual.

Every component can be ordered separately. The Motor Drive Unit can also be connected directly to the 48 V feed of the main panel. Codes for each component, along with the electrical installation overview, are available in the manual.

The motor driver is a non-PLC system that takes input/gives output from a range of different protocols. It is possible to be connected to a PLC and from there to an HMI.

The choice between the different communication systems (Profinet, Modbus and Digital Interface) is with the end-user, depending of the communication system that is being used in a specific application.
