STAGEMAKER R8CPU-VS Controllers
Stagemaker R8CPU-VS Controllers have been specifically developed for positioning and control of Verlinde Stagemaker (chain hoist) motors of the SM series in their single-speed, two-speed and variable speed versions.

This modular system allows connecting up to 8 CPU units, each controlling or 8 motors. The Stagemaker CPU Controller is easily integrated in a 19" rack.
The Stagemaker CPU-VS Controller allows you to pre-program and control motors individually, simultaneously or by groups on a show stage. The pre-selection, height adjustment and delays can be set separately in order to create multiple combinations in accordance with the various shows and stage sets in different rooms or studios.
The power supply and control functions are combined in the same unit; the hoists are connected by a single 16-contact cable. The various positions of the hoists are determined by an incremental encoder; the information is then recorded and temporarily stored in the CPU in the event of a power failure.
The selection can be defined for individual or group operation (with adjustable synchronization). Activation of a motor safety component such as the ON/Emergency stop switch, load limiter, thermal protection device immediately shuts down the group of motors.
A phase inversion detection system is also included in the CPU. A remote control for the "emergency stop" and "startup button" functions is available on option. Manual operation is possible without the PC using touch keys and LED indication. A safety system satisfying standard BGV-C1 (VBG 70) is availa-ble on option.
