الوصف
The GE IC695PMM335 is a PACMotion multi-axis motion controller for the PACSystems RX3i series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Its main purpose is to provide high-performance, integrated motion control for up to 4 axes within a single RX3i rack.
Key Features and Specifications
- Integrated Motion Control: The PMM335 is a powerful motion controller that resides on the RX3i backplane. This integration simplifies system design and programming by allowing motion control and standard PLC logic to be handled by a single platform.
- Axis Control: It is a dedicated controller capable of controlling up to 4 axes of servo or stepper motors.
- High-Speed Communication: The module uses fiber-optic communication to interface with remote I/O terminal blocks, ensuring high-speed data exchange and noise immunity. The IC695FTB1B132 is a common terminal block used with this module.
- Programming: The motion control programming is done using the Proficy Machine Edition software, which includes a graphical motion configuration tool. It supports standard motion control commands and functions, such as point-to-point positioning, gearing, and electronic camming.
- Synchronization: The PMM335 can synchronize multiple axes for complex motion profiles, making it suitable for applications like gantry systems or robotic arms.
- Memory: It has its own dedicated memory for storing motion profiles and configurations, which offloads processing from the main RX3i CPU.
- Hot Swap Capability: Like other RX3i modules, it supports hot insertion and extraction, which minimizes downtime.
Applications
The IC695PMM335 is a core component in industrial automation systems that require precise and coordinated motion control. It is used in:
- Robotics and Gantry Systems: For controlling the movement of robotic arms and multi-axis gantries.
- Packaging Machinery: For applications like cut-to-length, labeling, and pick-and-place.
- Material Handling: For synchronized control of conveyors, sorters, and other handling equipment.
- CNC and Machine Tools: For controlling the precise movement of axes in manufacturing equipment.
