Optimally networked
Thanks to the clever EtherCAT® interface (M12) additional devices can be integrated directly in the field – without any separate infrastructure.

Uncompromisingly compact
Robust, hygienic design—ideal for compact machine designs and demanding ambient conditions

Maximum simplicity
A fully standardized connector system with Speedcon connection technology minimizes installation, maintenance, and service efforts.

Absolutely flexible
Variable mounting orientations enable precise, space-saving integration into a wide variety of machine modules.

Direct compatibility
Provides end-to-end hybrid cabling for direct connection of MOVIDYN® performance and MOVIDYN® flexible.

Control technology Control cabinet technology Decentralized drive technology Drive technology

Flexibly combine, expand, and scale machine modules

Intelligent field infrastructure for quick mounting and easy extension

The distribution module defines the field infrastructure of the MOVIDYN® system and establishes connections between power, communication, and additional devices in a clearly structured star topology.

Interfaces at a glance:

  • Efficient Field DistributionDC power, the 24 V supply, and the EtherCAT® system bus are distributed via a total of six slots (1 × input, 5 × outputs).
  • Smart connection An integral component is the built-in M12 port for directly connecting additional field components, such as IP65 I/O modules.
  • Seamless Series ConnectionMultiple distribution modules can be flexibly connected in series. This enables easy scaling of the entire machine architecture without any intervention in existing wiring routes.

Compact machine design thanks to DC link stabilization

Integrated capacitancesbuilt into the module sustainably stabilize the DC link and reduce the capacitive load on the individual axes. For you as a design engineer, this means that the decentralized drive units in the field can be designed to be noticeably more compact. The consistent plug-in technology reduces mounting complexity, while the robust, hygienic housing functions with high reliability in a wide variety of mounting orientations. The result is a clean, efficiently expandable field structure for high-performance, modular machines with a minimal control cabinet footprint.

The distribution module is used to establish a consistently decentralized star topology directly in the field. It receives power and communication signals and distributes them clearly via six Speedcon hybrid connections (1 input, 5 outputs) to decentralized drives such as MOVIDYN® performance or MOVIDYN® flexible.

Up to three distribution modules can be easily connected in series. This allows the field infrastructure to be flexibly expanded for additional machine modules without having to modify existing cable routes or the existing control cabinet wiring.

The integrated capacitances stabilize the DC link voltage in the decentralized system while simultaneously reducing the capacitive load on the axes. This allows designers to make the connected drive units in the field noticeably more compact.

Yes. The distribution module features an integrated M12 EtherCAT®/SBusPLUS-OUT interface (output). This M12 port allows additional devices, such as decentralized I/O modules, to be integrated directly in the field without having to set up a separate infrastructure.
