Product Overview
SEC-AC-SMLC Multi-Axis Controllers and SEC-SDD ServoWire
®
Digital Drives
1
A Complete Motion Control Solution
Control of up to 16 Axes
The SEC-AC-SMLC with the
ServoWire
®
Drive Network and
Modbus TCP communications
provide state-of-the-art I/O and
motion control, all programmed
using the CoDeSys IEC 61131-3
standard languages, controlling
up to a maximum of 16 axes.
High Performance Computing
The SEC-AC-SMLC Controller
features high performance
computing capability combined
with a true real-time operating
system (RTOS). Using the
industry standard family of
Intel 32-bit processors to run
the QNX RTOS provides plenty
of cost-effective, robust
computing power for even the
most demanding multi-axis
motion and I/O control
applications.
Flexible Machine and Integrated
Drive I/O Capabilities
The SEC-AC-SMLC provides a
flexible approach to meeting
machine I/O requirements.
It offers a unique ability to
interface with high-speed drive
based I/O. General purpose I/O
options are fully supported using
Modbus TCP (to Festo CPX-FEC).
A wide variety of analog and
digital I/O modules as well as
valves can be cost-effectively
connected to and controlled by
the SEC-AC-SMLC. Variants with
integrated Profibus
®
master (for
up to 16 axes) are also available.
ServoWire
®
Drive Network
Festo AC brushless servo motors
(MTR-AC) and ServoWire digital
servo drives (SEC-SDD) offer
tested and guaranteed
performance with the
SEC-AC-SMLC. Full digital
control offers compelling
benefits – eliminating manual
drive setup and providing
real-time software access to all
parameters. In a SEC-AC-SMLC
system, the position, velocity
and torque loops are all closed
by the digital signal processors
(DSPs) in the ServoWire Drives,
based on commands sent from
the SEC-AC-SMLC controller.
