 Uses open standard
communications technologies
– Ethernet (TCP/IP)
– Modbus TCP
– Profibus DP
– OPC Server
– Drive network based
on IEEE 1394 FireWire
All provide flexible interfaces
for connecting to general
purpose I/O, HMIs and factory
data networks.
 The SEC-AC-SMLC Multi-axis
controllers and SEC-SDD
ServoWire digital drives are
CE compliant and UL certified.
 The SEC-AC-SMLC multi-axis
controller and CoDeSys
development software
combine to provide flexible
and effective networking
solutions for interfacing
machine I/O, HMIs and
factory data networks.
 The controller seamlessly
integrates with HMI devices
using Modbus RTU and
Modbus TCP communications.
 The controller also lets users
utilize Windows based HMIs
such as Wonderware InTouch,
Rockwell Automation RS View,
Intellution iFIX, CiTect or GE
Cimplicity to communicate
with the SMLC via OPC Server.
The variables in the SMLC
can be interfaced to these
software programs using
Ethernet or Serial
communications. OPC
provides open, interoperable
connectivity for automation
and the enterprise systems
used in industrial applications.
Interoperability is assured
by the creation and the
maintenance of open
standards and specifications,
by an independent
organization that includes
both users and manufacturers
of industrial automation
equipment. The CoDeSys
OPC server is included with
CoDeSys at no additional
charge and includes tools for
assigning the SMLC name and
IP address, selecting the group
of variables to be accessible
through the server, refreshing
properties, etc.
 The SMLC multi-axis controller
provides two Ethernet ports
(TCP/IP). CoDeSys includes
all the software necessary for
communications via Ethernet
TCP/IP, enabling easy access
to the SMLC from any system
connected to the network.
This capability allows users
to easily implement remote
debug and diagnostic
capabilities without the
need to purchase additional
software.
 Using Intel 32-bit processors
provides powerful computing
capabilities for the most
demanding multi-axis motion
and I/O control applications.
 QNX Real Time Operating
System (RTOS) provides
real time reliability and
robust performance.
Computing Power Standardization
Integration
 Developing motion and I/O
programming with a standard
set of software tools provided
by CoDeSys IEC61131-3
development software and
PLCopen motion function
blocks (together with ORMEC
enhanced motion library)
streamlines software
development and creates
application programs that are
more effective and easier to
support in the field.
 Pre-programmed function
blocks allow for CPX-FEC
communications over
Modbus TCP.
 Reusable function blocks
reduce engineering/
programming time, thereby
reducing system development
costs.
