Motion controllers
Logic Motion Controllers (LMCs) - the eleven controllers of the PacDrive 3 family designed to manage applications requiring the highest performance and control of synchronized motion of up to 130 axes simultaneously. Such extensive control of servo systems is ensured by the use of Intel processors with processor clock rates up to 2.2 GHz.

Details
LMC motion controller with integrated PLC - one control device for the entire machine
Advanced diagnostic functions: built-in oscilloscope in the control program, extensive event logger,
Multiplicity of communication protocols
Easy service: quick replacement of the device in case of failure, no need for reprogramming (only flash memory card reloading required)
PC-free operation: integrated text display in five languages for system and diagnostic messages
Simplified programming: a prepared project template (so-called Template) with a large number of ready-made function blocks, the possibility to create your own libraries

LMC series controllers are equipped with a SERCOS communication bus to ensure proper communication speed, so we can provide a network scan time of 1-4ms. SERCOS III protocol based on the physical layer of Ethernet allows us to communicate all system components such as controllers, servo drives, IO systems, and safety systems ensuring full control of the machine.
Besides the SERCOS bus, PacDrive LMC motion controllers can support
| IT protocols:
| serial communication:
|
There are also optional expansion cards available for all controllers to use additional communication interfaces such as EtherNet/IP.
In order to control motion over individual axes of the real system, the control program uploaded to the controller can have up to 4096 electronic CAM motion cams that can be switched between each other during motion.
SoMachine Motion software is used to build the control program for LMC controllers. It allows you to create a single control program for system operation logic and axis motion profiles. As standard, it includes a number of libraries with ready-made function blocks for the most common servo applications. Dedicated diagnostic software is available for quick diagnostics of the controllers.
