For machines with up to 16 synchronized servo axes (Sercos).
Tested, Validated, Documented Architectures
TVDAs can help you quickly build an automation solution, from machine design and engineering to installation and documentation. Reduce the time needed for design, installation, and commissioning with these flexible, functionally validated, ready-to-use architectures.
Solution
The high-performance Synchronized Axes | Sercos Motion Controller LMC216 control architecture may serve as an example for automating a broad range of typical mid-range, servo-driven machines: single-, multi-axis, and integrated servo drives can be operated in mixed configurations.
Drive, I/O and save communication over the Sercos automation bus minimize cabling. Typical application functionalities are available as off-the-shelf software, leading to maximum flexibility in designing machines.
Benefits
> Solution is based on PacDrive 3, a proven logic motion technology, which unifies PLC, motion, and robotics control functionality on a single hardware platform.
> Sercos drive communication allows the implementation of I/O communication and safe communication using a single, Ethernet-based fieldbus.
> With its centralized system architecture, PacDrive is the ideal solution for controlling a broad range of servo-driven production
> Fully integrated IEC 61131-3-compliant program structures.
> More than 80.000 machines worldwide are controlled by PacDrive to this day.
