PacDrive 3 Controllers
PacDrive 3 Controllers
Scalable performance for high-performance industrial machines, PacDrive LMC motion controllers cover a wide range of applications.
PacDrive LMC motion controllers are a broad family of eleven different controllers, with a powerful CPU for applications requiring 0 to 130 synchronised axes (at 1 msec network update rate)
- up to 130 servo axes and up to 255 virtual axes
- with multiple fieldbuses used in parallel to Sercos: CANopen, Profbus DP, etc.
All controllers are software-compatible thanks to SoMachine Motion programming software, a Logic Motion Runtime software:
- same runtime
- same libraries
- same engineering tool
- same diagnostic tools
- same support of drives, IOs, etc.
Up to 4096 dynamic electronic cam disks can be programmed to operate in parallel and the program can switch between electronic cam disks during operation. All controllers have an integrated PLC (5 µsec for 1000-bit instructions).
- Diagnostics functionalities included: integrated software oscilloscope and
message logger - Outstanding performance: powerful motion engine
- Connectivity: broad support of fieldbuses and IT communication protocols
- Service-oriented: memory card for storing/transferring programming and configuration data
- Easy to service: no PC required, integrated plaintext display in five languages for system messages and diagnostics
Ethernet-based communication with Sercos
Sercos is the preferred automation bus for PacDrive:
- Drive communication
- I/O communication
- Safe communication and non-realtime IP communication
- All embedded in one cable
Key benefits of Sercos for PacDrive
- Universal: fully integrated Ethernet-based solution for drive, fieldbus and safety
communication - Reliable: media redundancy to reduce the possibility of failure
- Powerful: network update rate of 1…4 ms for 130 servo axes. Less than 100 ns jitter
- Cost-effective: simple, no hub or switches, Cat 5e cable is generally sufficient
- High availability: Sercos supports all PacDrive functions for automating the setup of servo drives/motors, including assignment of bus address
- Vendor-neutral: supported by more than 50 controller manufacturers and 30 drive manufacturers
- Green: Sercos energy profile defines rules for creating standardised energy modes
Flexible I/O design with standard and safe I/O
The modular Schneider Electric Modicon TM5 (1) and Modicon TM7 (1) systems for Sercos provide I/O technology with IP 20 and IP 67 protection. Safe communication versions of both TM5 and TM7 safety modules are available, colour-coded to clearly differentiate them from standard technology. Standard and safe I/O modules can be mixed.
Connectivity
In addition to the Sercos automation bus, PacDrive LMC motion controllers support the following communication standards:
- Fieldbuses:
– Profinet
– Profibus DP
– CAN
– EtherNet/IP
– EtherCat
– Modbus TCP - IT protocols:
– TCP/IP
– UDP/IP
– OPC UA
– FTP
– HTTP (embedded web visualisation) - Serial communication:
– USB / serial interface - Optional expansion cards are also available for all controllers to implement additional Fieldbus interfaces such as EtherNet/IP. USB and serial interfaces are also standard in all controllers. The PacDrive LMC controllers also have a Profibus DP interface (Master and Slave).
