New Motion-Controller MC800 with integrated tandem drive control, flexible sensor configuration and adaptive interface

A special feature of the MC800 is the integrated tandem drive-controller. This enables to reach the acceleration requirements of heavy loads by splitting the necessary power to two independent drives.

Other typical applications for the MC800 are: Synchronization Control, Index and Print Mark Control, Rotating Cross Cutter, Flying Saw Control, Rotating Cross Cutter Control, Eccentric Shear Control, Label Printing Machine Control, Tubular Bag Machine Control, etc.

Technical Data:

• Suitable for incremental encoders or sensors with RS422 output or 10 to 30 V HTL output (differential signals A, /A, B, /B)

• Freely combined with standard SinCos sensors or SinCos encoders with 1 Vpp (format sin+, sin-, cos+, cos-)

• Four fast interrupt based HTL NPN/PNP inputs for control commands

• Two 14 bit analogue inputs with ±10 V, as well as two similar analogue outputs

• OnBoard interfaces: Ethernet TCP/IP, CANOpen, Modbus RTU, RS232/RS485 interface

• Optional interfaces: e.g. ProfiNet, EtherCad, Profibus TCP, DeviceNet etc.

• Snap-on module for standard DIN rails (35 mm C-profile)

• Synchronous process during penetration of the tool and length dependent speed outside this phase

• Optimizing polynomial speed profile to ensure extremely smooth motion and gentle tool treatment for best service life

• High cutting precision, even at high line speeds, due to a max. 2 MHz feed-back frequency of the incremental input or 1 MHz of the SinCos input

• High dynamic response by means of short cycle time (300 µse), therefore accurate cutting results also during change of line speed

• Suitable to operation with all 4-quadrant drives providing a standardized drive communication bus (e.g. SerCos II) or a ±10 V speed input

• Easy setup and commissioning by use of the Windows based operating software (freeware), resulting in successful machine operation within shortest time

• The controller can communicate with external operation terminals as well as HMI via standardized factory communication bus (e. g. Profitnet)
