Multi-axis motion controller MC508

EthernetCANopenModbus TCP

The MC508 is a high specification Motion Coordinator using a high performance ARM Cortex A9 800 Mhz Processor, with eight Voltage outputs and eight flexible axis ports, that can be configured for up to sixteen pulse and direction output axes or eight closed loop servo axes. It boasts 128 MBytes of RAM; 32 of which is for user programs and user table space. Advanced 8 Axis Closed Loop Servo / 16 Axis Pulse Direction Total of 32 Digital Inputs and 16 Digital Outputs EnDAT, Biss and SSI Absolute Encoder Supported Linear, Circular, Helical and Spherical Interpolation Flexible CAM shapes, Linked Motion Hardware Linked Outputs for Camera / Laser Control Ethernet-IP / Modbus TCP / Ethernet Interface Built-In IEC 61131-3 Programming Multi-tasking BASIC Programming Text File Handling Robotic Transformations SD Memory Card Slot CANopen I/O Expansion Backlit LCD Display RoHS and CE Approved Versatility The flexible axis MDR type connectors allow single cable connection from the MC508 to your drive. The port can be configured in software as feedback devices or pulse direction outputs. As outputs they can be used as pulse and direction with stepper or servo drives or they can operate as a simulated encoder output. When configured as feedback they can be either incremental encoder input or one of four popular absolute encoder types; SSI, BiSS, Tamagawa or Endat. All feedback axes can be used to form a closed loop servo with a voltage output. The MDR 3m cable may be purchased seperately (P382).
