Features
Multitasking
G Language to Reduce CPU Unit Programming
The MC Unit is provided with a multitasking G language, an ideal
language
for motion control. Up to 100 programs can be registered.
• Multiaxis
control programs can be easily created.
• Position control can be performed by specifying program
numbers using the PC interface area and executing operation
commands, reducing the workload on the CPU Unit’s ladder
program.
• Axis configuration can be set, such as controlling X-Y robot
operations
or controlling operations separately for each axis.
Up to 16 Axes Can be Controlled for Each CPU Unit
Up
to 8 MC Units can be mounted to a CPU Unit, so up
to 16 axes
can
be controlled.
High-speed Response to Start Commands from CPU Unit
The
response time from when a start
command is received from the
CPU
Unit until the command voltage is output from the MC Unit
is
12 ms.
Operation Can be Started or Stopped by General-purpose
Inputs
The
MC Unit is provided
with general-purpose inputs, so operation
can be started or
stopped without needing intervention by the CPU
Unit.
• General-purpose inputs can be used as jog start signals,
external device interlock signals, restart signals, and other
signals.
• The MC Unit can perform high-speed-response positioning by
itself.
Interrupt
Feeding Function Provided as Standard
The
MC Unit can perform
high-speed positioning for feeding opera
-
tions (such as for feeders) by external sensors.
Compatible with Absolute Encoders
This
MC Unit is compatible with OMNUC U-series and other Servo
motors with absolute encoders. It no longer requires origin
searches, and allows quick start and reset at system start-up or
power-down. The MC Unit can also handle a mixture of absolute
and
incremental encoders.
250-kp/s Encoder Response Frequency
The maximum feedback encoder response frequency is 250 kp/s,
so
the MC Unit can be used with high-speed and high-precision ser
vomotors.
Data
Creation Using T
eaching Box
In
addition to entering numbers
in the Position Data Edit Window of
the MC Support Software, it is possible to create position data by
using
the T
eaching Box to teach positions while actually moving
the
machinery.
Operate with MPG
Positioning
and simple sync operations can be performed using
an
MPG
(manual pulse generator).
