Acim Nidec PLC Controlled Motion

<p><strong>PLC Controlled Motion</strong> greatly simplifies the integration of Control Techniques drives into EtherNet/IP and PROFINET based system controllers. Composed of two parts, the EtherNet/IP Add-On Instructions(AOI) or PROFINET Function Block(FB) set for the PLC and a guided setup within the <strong>Connect PC tool</strong>, the process of creating the PLC control logic and configuring the powerful onboard motion capabilities of the drive is greatly simplified.</p> <p>By utilising the high-performance <strong>Advanced Motion Controller (AMC)</strong> inside the drive not only yields significant performance benefits but gives the possibility to create complex and high-performance motion control without the need for specialised PLCs or motion controllers.</p> <p> </p> <h2><span>Installation and configuration</span></h2> <p>A single installation will load all the AOI/FB function block sets and documentation required, as well as example projects to get the application up and running as quickly as possible. </p> <p>PLC Controlled Motion fully configures the Ethernet/IP or PROFINET links in a Commander C, Digitax HD or Unidrive M, reducing setup time and leaving more time to focus on the PLC application development.</p> <h2><a href="/drives/control-techniques/-/media/Project/Nidec/ControlTechniques/Documents/en-en/PLC-Controlled-Motion-Flyer.pdf" target="_blank">Download PLC Flyer</a></h2> <p> </p> <h2>Motion configuration</h2> <p>Five function blocks provide functionality to support applications across the motion spectrum.</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><img alt="plc-frequency-setup" src="/drives/control-techniques/-/media/Project/Nidec/ControlTechniques/Images/General/plc-frequency-setup.png?h=106&amp;w=150&amp;hash=15DF6703CFCB3FB863B53F2FF7E30B97" style="height: 106px; width: 150px;"><br> </td> <td class="text-wrap">Allows frequency control of an open-loop axis Commander C, Digitax HD and Unidrive M</td> </tr> <tr> <td><img alt="plc-rpm-setup" src="/drives/control-techniques/-/media/Project/Nidec/ControlTechniques/Images/General/plc-rpm-setup.png?h=106&amp;w=150&amp;hash=484F6904A0D8868024D202D1C93143D0" style="width: 150px; height: 106px;"><br> </td> <td class="text-wrap">Allows speed control of a closed-loop (including sensorless) axis with Digitax HD and Unidrive M600/M70x</td> </tr> <tr> <td><img alt="plc-speed-control" src="/drives/control-techniques/-/media/Project/Nidec/ControlTechniques/Images/General/plc-speed-control.png?h=106&amp;w=150&amp;hash=FEF4267D55E3587CAA78FB7013ED2BA9" style="width: 150px; height: 106px;"><br> </td> <td class="text-wrap">Allows speed control of an axis with dynamic control over motion parameters Digitax HD and Unidrive M70x.
