MACS4-DC6, compact 6-axis control unit incl. servo-amplifiers for positioning tasks of small DC drives. Typical applications are found in machines and factory equipment of the paper, printing, wood-working and analytic industry. The MACS4-DC6 controls the accurate and fast adjustment of mechanical stops as well as the multi-axis positioning of small robots in material or probe handling. The MACS4-DC6 integrates a freely programmable logic and position control unit with six encoder inputs and six DC servo amplifiers. The state-of-the-art integrated development environment is free of charge. There are no add-on libraries necessary to gain full motion-control functionality. Modern interfaces like EtherCAT, CAN, and USB are your link to PLCs and PCs. Application area - Position controlled, motor-driven adjustment of mechanical stops in all kind of machines - Multi-axis positioning of small robots and handling devices - Speed and flow control of small pump systems Closed loop Control - Position control - Speed control - Current control & limitation Positioning Functions - Configurable homing - Absolute & relative positioning - Configurable velocity profiles I/O-Functions - Set / reset of outputs - Read & interrupt control of inputs - Support of CANopen-I/O modules Bus & Control Functions - CANopen master-/slave functionality - EtherCAT slave functionality - Interrupts reacting on inputs, position data, bus bits, timer, etc. - Arithmetic and bit handling - Conditional branches and loops Debugging & Optimization Performance optimization and testing is assisted by the development tool including a smart oscilloscope.
