ModEva™ 15T
ModEva is a range of numerical control units intended specifically for sheet metal working.
Depending on the software installed, ModEva can be used on synchronized or non-synchronized press-brakes of the upstroking or down-stroking type.
ModEva numerical control units can control up to 18 axes of which 2 are synchronized hydraulic axes especially intended for
press-brakes.
The numerical control is composed of 2 main elements:
• The programming console.
• The CNC (Computerized Numerical Control).
The programming console is located within the operator's reach, generally fixed to a swiveling arm; the CNC is placed inside
the electric cabinet.
The CNC is available in 2 rack formats.
• Rack version C (Compact): This is a small, very compact rack, convenient for many situations.
• Rack version M (Medium): This is a bigger rack permitting a varied combination of configurations.
The software enables manufacturers to configure the axes, the inputs/outputs and the auxiliary functions according to their
needs.

ModEva Range
ModEva is a modular range with a choice of:
• 1 programming console 15” touchscreen.
• 2 programs (2D or 3D) an d 1 Windows XP emb. operational system.
• 2 different rack sizes depending on the number of axes and the desired technology (analog or CAN).
Definitions:
Hydraulic axes: An analog axis especially intended for controlling the beams (Y1-Y2). These two axes are on the
NPU.
Analogical axes: Axes for which position is given by an incremental sensor and instructions are provided by the CNC
via a ±10V DC analog voltage. One also corresponds to an analog interface axis. These axes are
controlled by boards called NMX / NSX. Each of these boards controls 2 axes.
CAN axes: Axes for which positioning information is handled through a CAN bus.
These axes require an NCX board on the CNC side and a CAN interface on the servo-amplifier side.
An NCX board can control up to 8 axes. The number of CAN axes is controlled as an option.
The ModEva CNC can be equipped with a maximum of 2 NCX axis boards.
NMX: A master board for 2 analog ax es. A master board controls up to 3 NSX slave boards.
NSX: A slave board for 2 analog axes. A slave board in all case s requires an NMX board.
NCX: CAN board for a maximum of 8 CAN ax es. This board can handle various protocols according to the
type of servo-amplifier used. It is possible to combine CAN and analog axes.
