nexofox – Solutions for Smart Access Gates

With MotionCode, nexoLink, and Smart Diagnostics, Dunkermotoren’s digital brand nexofox offers solutions for implementing smart access control devices. MotionCode is a central, decentralized component designed from the ground up. Each motor installed in an access control device (referred to as an “access gate”) can be programmed with its own individual MotionCode, enabling features like hit detection without any additional hardware. The drive solution utilizes motor currents to evaluate whether a gate is currently blocked.

Another benefit of MotionCode is the option to replace mechanical functions with software. For the protection of the mechanics, brakes with lower braking torque or slipping clutches are sometimes provided, so that in the case of excessive force on a closed gate, damage can be avoided. The smart Dunkermotoren in conjunction with MotionCode simulate the function of a slipping clutch. This allows the protection of the mechanics in the absence of hardware components without compromising safety.

NexoLink is the second central component for smart access gates. It easily integrates into any IIoT ecosystem, allowing for monitoring and analysis of all relevant motor data. If no monitoring solution is currently in place, individual dashboards and alarms can be configured thanks to Smart Diagnostics. Motors send alarms themselves when technician attention is required, enabling more efficient maintenance planning.
