The field-installable Digital MMC Control card resides in a MMC Smart Drive and controls up to 16 axes. In addition to the control’s on-board I/O and the I/O on each drive, the Digital MMC provides:

Support for a distributed Block I/O network. An Ethernet 10/100 BaseT port is provided for plant network communication, remote programming, and diagnostic information. A serial port is provided for HMI connections for complete machine control. A tag-name database scheme is used for communication to the IEC solution set’s Cimrex and Exter HMI terminals.

The Digital MMC resides inside the first drive in the system. Additional drives are daisy-chained together with a simple RJ-45 connection. The network has been optimized for fast transfer of real-time drive data and I/O status which makes it ideal for high performance multi-axis applications.

A single-point connection from the first drive to PiCPro provides access to all of the drives on the network for commissioning and tuning as well as application programming and maintenance. Configuration parameters can be sent to all the drives on the network at once with a single click of the mouse.

The MMC Smart Drive servo amplifiers provide 0.5kW to 24kW continuous output power in a compact, easy-to-apply package. Available in both 230VAC and 460VAC systems, MMC Smart Drives operate over a wide line voltage range.

Applications requiring modular and higher count I/O are easily expanded using Block I/O. A simple four-wire connection provides access to up to 77 I/O blocks that can be mounted locally or up to 200 feet apart. Select from a wide array of Block I/O modules including discrete, analog, and motion I/O.

Integrating machine logic and motion control is a key in reducing application effort and cost. The core of the IEC solution is PiCPro programming software. PiCPro provides ladder logic programming for machine control, function block programming for motion control and structured text programming for high level operations, all in a fully-integrated environment. Based on the IEC 61131 standard for programming languages, PiCPro provides a rich standard instruction set with all the tools you’ll need to solve your entire machine and motion control application.

AC and DC drives through 500 HP. Our family of SECO and Acomel adjustable speed drives accommodate a wide range of AC and DC motor types and power ratings. Many provide options for running open or closed loop depending on the degree of control required. Torque and velocity modes are offered and some models include position control. Application specific firmware provides for specialized tension control situations including winders, unwinds, tension zones, and shaft position lock.
