DrivePort

DrivePorts are bus-controlled 1-channel inline motor controllers directly on the chain hoist, e.g. in the truss.

It is therefore the logical continuation of the RigPort concept with logical, active elements to achieve the highest degree of flexibility and economy in event technology.

They are very space-saving, unobtrusive and flexible. You no longer need racks & Laka's and don't have to worry about channel limitations. What makes our system even better is the simple integration into a main power line and the resulting short tap for the motor, which would add significantly to the weight and cabling effort of a normal central distribution system.

The DrivePort was designed to be modular from the outset, which means that your system can be expanded at any time. Additional modules are available for our devices, which enable load monitoring, limit switching or distance measurement. This makes it possible to carry out simple scenic drives with a specific load with your D8Plus train.

Fexible

Our motor controller was developed with the Rigport philosophy in mind, which enables a high degree of flexibility, as you already know from our other products. The devices have inputs and outputs for DMX, safety and power, which ensures fast and effective cabling and makes it easy to integrate them into existing cabling. 4, 8 or 16 channels? You no longer have to ask yourself this question with the DrivePort. You can decide for yourself how many channels you need. For example, you can control 9 motors without having to purchase a motor controller for 16 channels. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Simple

During development, it is important to us to focus on the simple and practical operation of our controllers. For this reason, each motor, which is operated via a DrivePort, can be moved individually on the device to guarantee fast set-up operation. Important values such as the motor load can also be read directly on the device and the built-in fuses reset automatically in the event of an overload. The device can be controlled either via a DMX console or via our DrivePort software.

Success Stories

"
...I consider the devices to be a very innovative solution for dealing with motors, which are particularly suitable for complex systems that are statically indeterminate.

Due to the possibility of integrating load and displacement measurement, even very stiff systems can be driven well without overloading individual points. The continuous evaluation of the loads via RDM offers good monitoring to keep a constant eye on everything.

You no longer need expensive C1 systems to drive such systems, but can rely on DrivePort technology.

Thanks to the scalability, I can either put together a 10-fold control system or rent or use 5x2 devices, which increases the frequency of use and utilization considerably!

By integrating the DrivePorts into the power system for the lighting, no extra cables had to be laid, the motor cables are limited to the connection cables of the motors themselves, we didn't have to extend anything! The service offered by Rigport is great, help in the shortest possible time, we had the support we needed on the same day! Many thanks to Mr. Steinbacher!

Greetings and thanks!
