2 Introduction
This document contains information for the MMC for PC Control System.
Block I/O information can be found in the PiC900 Hardware Manual. Software
information can be found in the PiCPro Software Manual, the Function/Function
Block Reference Guide, ASFB Manuals or on-line.
The MMC for PC board offers a complete solution to both machine and motion control
directly from a PC. The board conforms to the PCI Bus Standard.
The major components of the MMC for PC motion control system are a PCI board,
(analog servo or SERCOS), the MMC for PC Analog Servo Interface Unit (ASIU) and
related connecting hardware. An optional mezzanine type Fieldbus Module is also
available to facilitate network connections.
For SERCOS motion control, connections are made from the MMC for PC SERCOS
board to SERCOS drives using a pair of fiber optic SMA connectors (one for
transmitting signals and one for receiving signals.).
Introduction
For analog motion control, an ASIU is connected directly to the MMC for PC Analog
Servo board using a standard category 5 cable with RJ45 connectors. The MMC for
PC Analog Servo board can also communicate with up to eight ASIUs by connecting
one ASIU to the MMC for PC Analog Servo board and connecting additional ASIUs.
The MMC for PC is controlled by PiC Pro for Windows software that runs under the
Windows NT or Windows 2000 Operating System. Ladder logic programming is used
for machine control.
The MMC for PC is able to operate when the host PC is shut off. This is accomplished
through a connection with an optional external +24VDC power supply.
