Control Systems

Modular Drive Control Systems for Industrial Automation

Modern industrial production depends on precisely coordinated movement across automated conveyor systems, cranes and mobile transport units. As manufacturing environments become increasingly connected and data-driven, mobile equipment must be controlled with accuracy, reliability and seamless integration into plant-wide automation architectures.

VAHLE’s vDRIVE modular drive control systems provide scalable control solutions for intelligent conveyor systems, electric monorail systems (EMS), pallet conveyors and skillet lines used throughout industrial production.

Integrated Motion Control for Mobile Equipment

In automated manufacturing environments, mobile transport systems must operate with synchronized motion, precise positioning and continuous communication with higher-level control systems.

vDRIVE enables:

  • Precise speed and position control
  • Coordinated multi-axis movement
  • Distance and collision monitoring
  • Integration with safety architectures
  • Stable communication between stationary and mobile equipment

Control signals can be transmitted via conductor rail communication or through dedicated high-speed data transmission systems, depending on bandwidth and system complexity requirements.


Modular components for every application

Scalable Architecture for Integrated Control Systems

The modular design of vDRIVE allows flexible configuration for both new installations and modernization projects. Whether upgrading legacy conveyor systems or implementing a fully automated production line, vDRIVE integrates seamlessly into existing automation environments.

The system architecture supports:

  • Modular expansion as production demands grow
  • Integration with positioning systems (vPOS)
  • Compatibility with data communication systems (vCOM)
  • Coordination with VAHLE energy transmission systems (vPOWER)

This ecosystem approach enables a unified electrification, communication and motion-control strategy for mobile industrial equipment.
