PMCprimo C is a motion controller used to automate multi-axis motion
sequences. The device contains a PLC with the functionality of a logic
and motion controller.
Logic controller universally programmable in accordance with
The dynamic curve calculation is a calculation program for allocation tables. The allocation table is defined through variables and
scaling. The dynamic curve calculation reads in the variables and
calculates an allocation table.

Pick and place applications
The motion controller is installed in the servo amplifier PMCprotego D.
Once installed, the environmental conditions of the servo amplifier PMCprotego D apply, e.g. the lower storage temperature (see "Technical
Details" in the operating manual for the servo amplifier).
Bestimmung/Gerätebeschreibung_EMV+Ausschluss
Please note that the PMCprimo C has no internal electrical connection
to the servo amplifier PMCprotego D. When installing and operating the
device, you must refer to the operating manuals for the servo amplifiers,
in particular the safety guidelines.
Intended use includes making the electrical installation EMC-compliant.
The product is designed for use in an industrial environment. It is not
suitable for use in a domestic environment, as this can lead to interference.

The PMCprimo C is a drive-integrated programmable logic controller
with motion control functionalities. The controller has volatile and nonvolatile memory for the operating system, the data and the device
project with the user program.
It can be used for logic and motion control of intelligent drives.
User programs can be programmed in the main IEC 61131-3 languages.
The software CoDeSys is used to program the PLC functionality. The
controller runs as an independent task.
The motion controller has 6 digital inputs and 6 single-pole digital outputs. The inputs and outputs are read cyclically. The cycle times are ≤
1ms. It can also access inputs and outputs on networked servo amplifiers from the PMC product area.
Funktion_PMCprimo_C_Blockschaltbild
The motion controller has fieldbus interfaces for communication with the
periphery.
An additional encoder can be connected (incremental encoder with TTL
signal or absolute encoder with SSI interface).
An LED provides information about the controller's operating states.
The motion controller PMCprimo C (1) is installed in a servo amplifier
PMCprotego D (3). A fieldbus junction box PMCprotego D.CAN-CANbus Adapter or PMCprotego D.CAN-PROFIBUS Adapter (2) is used for
networking (CANopen, PROFIBUS DP).
4.1.2Supply voltage
Supply voltage4-Funktion_Versorgung
Fig. 4-2:Installation of the motion controller in a servo amplifier PM-
Cprotego D
The PMCprimo C has two supply voltages:
X40/7,15
Supply voltage for the device and the digital outputs (24 VDC)
X40/8,16
Supply voltage for the encoder (5 V, 24 VDC)
The voltage is connected directly to the female 9-pin D-Sub connec-
tor X41/4,9.
Internally the two supply voltages are galvanically isolated. The two
earths can be connected externally.
The inputs are compatible with EN 61131-2, Type 1.
The time behaviour of the digital inputs depends on the method of use:
With normal use, the inputs have a filter time of ≤ 600 μs.
If the inputs are used as reference inputs, the reaction time to 0/1 or
1/0 pulse edges is < 5μs.
The inputs can be used as reference inputs, to poll the position of the
encoder for example.

4.1.5Interfaces
Interfaces4-
The device has 6 single-pole digital outputs.
Signals at the output
"0" signal (0 V) at the output:
– Output is high impedance
– No current to the load
"1" signal (+24 V) at the output:
– Output is low impedance
– Current is supplied to the load
– The maximum current strength per output is 0.5 A.
All digital outputs are protected against short circuit and overload.
The outputs can be used to connect relays, valves or inputs from another controller, for example.
