Chapter 1 Outline
1.1 Features of the motion controller
The motion controller has the following features.
(1) Q-PLC CPU and multi-CPU system
A flexible system configuration, which allows the processing load to be spread
out, is realized by carrying out complicated servo control with the Q motion CPU
unit, and other machine control and information with the Q-PLC CPU unit.
(2) Product line-up to match applications
The following motion controller models are available to match the system scale
required for multi-axis positioning.
• Q172CPU(N) (1 to 8 axes multi-axis positioning function)
• Q173CPU(N) (1 to 32 axes multi-axis positioning function)
(3) Control using MR-H-B(N)/MR-J2(S)-B type servo amplifier possible
A 10W to 55kW servomotor can be controlled by connecting the MR-H-B(N)/MR-
J2(S)-B/MR-J2M-B type servo amplifier externally to the motion network
SSCNET.
(The Q172 can control up to eight servomotors and the Q173 up to 32
servomotors.)
(4) High-speed serial communication with servo amplifier possible
Using the motion network SSCNET high-speed serial communication, the servo
data can be collected, the servo parameter can be changed, the servo can be
tested and monitored, and the mechanism program can be monitored. The speed
command can be output at up to 10Mpps, enabling high-speed high-accuracy
positioning.
(5) Absolute position system possible
An absolute position system can be structured by using a servomotor with
absolute position detector. (Zero point return is not required even if a power
failure occurs.)
(6) Windows personal computer can be used as positioning programming tool
By using a Windows personal computer with the dedicated software package, the
motion SFC can be programmed, the servo control can be programmed, monitored
and tested.
