PACMotion
Productivity, Flexibility, Engineering Productivity
PACMotion maximizes the potential of your machine so that you can sell more. When you have high performance needs that include high-speed motion applications, PACMotion provides the performance, flexibility, and productivity to make the most for your customers. PACMotion is a revolutionary new motion controller for the PACSystems RX3i, breaking the mold of what a motion controller can do. It controls up to 40 axes in a single rack over a high-speed backplane, with a hybrid distributed control architecture to ensure you get the speed and accuracy to maximize your machine.
Productivity:
- PACMotion updates at consistent speed regardless of the number of axis
- Motion path planning at a blazing 1 millisecond
- Position loop update occurs every 500 microseconds
- Axes are updated simultaneously to eliminate phase delays
- Distributed control architecture keeps the processing load off of the main processor so to ensure consistent performance at high speeds and high axis counts
- Fiber Optic I/O for noise immunity increases reliability
Flexibility:
- Flexible configuration with master axis, I/O, architecture
- Centralized or distributed control
- On the fly changes make it easy to do short production runs
- Amplifiers can be centrally located or located up to 400m from rack
- A flexible master position source easily configures any axis to be a master or a slave to any other
Engineering Productivity for Quicker Time to Market
- Integrating the motion and logic onto one system reduces complexity
- A common programming language, tag database, and function blocks allows faster program development and time to market and machine commissioning
- More than 50 built-in motion functions
- Designed to comply with PLC Open standards
