MCi Machine Control
MCi Machine Control Details
On-board PLC
All Unidrive M Series Drives Incorporate An Easy To Use, Onboard PLC Which Can Execute Programs For Logic And IEC 61131-3 Motion And Sequencing With Real-time Tasks.
Advanced Motion Controller
The Unidrive M700 Series Integrates A 1.5 Axes Advanced Motion Controller, Allowing Motion Functions To Be Synchronously Carried Out On The Drive At 250 μs Cycle Time, Minimising System Latencies And Maximising Performance. By Implementing Motion Control On The Drive, The System Design Can Be Liberated From Being Tied To Specific PLC Vendors, At The Same Time Reducing The Computational Load On The External PLC Or Even Replacing It Altogether.
Key Features Of The Advanced Motion Controller Include:
- 250 μs Cycle Time
- Motion Profile Generator
- Electronic Gearbox
- Simple Cam Profiles With Point-to-point Selectable Interpolation
- Homing Functions
- High Speed Position Freeze (Touch Probe)
MCi Integrated Machine Controllers
Second Processor For PLC Programs And Multi-axis Control
MCi Modules Add A Powerful Second Processor To Unidrive M, Extending The Drive’s System And Machine Control Capabilities To Run Application Programs Up To Four Times Faster Than A Standard PLC.
MCi Programs Can Access And Manage Unidrive M’s Embedded Advanced Motion Controller Across A Wide Range Of Networks, Providing Perfectly Synchronised Multi-axis Machine Performance.
The Modules Are Powered From The Drives' Internal Power Supply, Which Means Less Wiring And Less Physical Space Is Required. They Work Seamlessly With External Components Such As I/O, HMIs And Other Networked Drives Through Unidrive M’s Native Communication Ports And System Integration Modules.
The MCi210 Also Provides Two Additional Ethernet Ports With An Internal Network Switch.
