DSM – PLC Based Motion Control
Reducing cost and increasing efficiency and profitability greatly depend on your motion control system. Our advanced line of Digital Servo Motion (DSM) controls provide incredible flexibility, performance and integration with our Series 90-30 and PACSystems platforms. These modules support centralized, distributed or hybrid control system architectures – they are easy to program and configure and include extensive built-in diagnostics.

Benefits:
- Proficy Machine Edition software integrates machine control, motion and view functions with a shared tag database and powerful tool set.
- Accurate control of high-speed machines, due to fast servo loop update and a separate control loop processor which operates independently of PLC scan rates.
- Automatic data exchange with the Host PAC or PLC each sweep simplifies programming effort.
- Absolute position mode supported by Alpha, Beta and Beta i Series servos when used with optional encoder battery.
- Enhanced tracking accuracy using velocity feed-forward control and high-resolution feedback.
- Ease of programming with user-defined position and velocity units.
- On-board I/O for travel limits, servo enable, home switch, and registration sensor simplifies machine interface.
- Extensive communication and operator interface options available through the host PAC or PLC.
- Registration applications are supported with dual high-speed positioning capture inputs per axis
- Jerk-limited acceleration allows transporting liquids, reduces stretching in film webs, reduces machine wear and improves servo stability.
- Advanced machine control using incremental/absolute and rotary/linear programming modes.
- Local Logic program handles high speed logic and I/O decisions synchronous with the position loop update (DSM314 and DSM324i only).
- Gear follower or cam follower axes can be configured to follow an encoder or virtual (internal time-based) master position reference.
- Flash memory simplifies firmware upgrades.
