V-Motion-40-E-SIL3

The V‑Motion 40‑E‑SIL3 is a Variable Motion Powerpack designed by Movecat for use with V‑series hoist drives (VMK, VMW, VMB). It enables high‑precision, safe, variable‑speed kinetic control for stage, studio, and event environments.

It is engineered to comply with BGV C1 and optionally EN 61508 SIL3, making it suitable for overhead scenic movement where the highest safety standards are required.

The unit combines intelligent motion control, safety monitoring, and integrated filtering systems, allowing smooth, synchronized, and safe hoist operation within the I‑Motion network.

Features
