Motion control systems PMCprimo

The PMCprimo control systems have PLC and motion functionality. They perform the automation within a plant, including motion management. This is possible for a large number of servo axes.

PMCprimo is a byword for high performance and flexibility. Up to 32 axes can be linked flexibly to form a kind of electronic main shaft, and simple CNC tasks can be solved. Standard functions, e.g. "flying saw", "cross cutter" or "cam plate functions", are already stored as function blocks. Machine functions, such as "tubular pouch packaging", are also available. The implementation of modern functions, such as remote maintenance, automatic parameter setting for swapped-out system components and the sharing of all I/Os, allows you to implement high-performance solutions with high availability.

The powerful Motion Control systems PMCprimo C2 have PLC, Motion Control and CNC functionality and they support you when implementing your complete control tasks. The high-performance PMCprimo C2 with 1.3 GHz processor and FPGA enable hight productivity and process quality. Benefit from short commissioning times thanks to programming by soft PLC in accordance with IEC 61131!

The USB interface guarantees simple data import and export. With PMCprimo C2 an EtherCAT Master interface is provided. In addition, PMCprimo C2 supports master and slave communication interfaces such as Modbus/TCP, CAN or PROFIBUS-DP-S. The control systems also allow parallel operation of several communication networks (EtherCAT/CANopen).

Low space requirements thanks to integrated solution: PMCprimo DriveP – safe drive-based

• High-performance soft-PLC in compliance with IEC 61131 and clearly structured programming interface
• Suitable for motion control and CNC applications, optional connection to a master computer, simple expansion using external I/Os by means of PSSu connection
• Improved machine availability – SD cards enable fast recommissioning following component replacement
• Cost savings thanks to the integrated PLC, motion and CNC functionality, small control cabinets as a result of the integrated solution

Flexibility through openness: PMCprimo MC – controller-based

• More interfaces support integration in many different automation environments
• Suitable for more complex application programs thanks to the high processing power
• Cost-effective control solution for applications up to 16 axes

Technical features of the compact, high-performance control system PMCprimo DriveP

• Handles control tasks with a particularly high performance level
• Modular and compact complete solution by inserting the PMCprimo C motion control card into the servo amplifier
• For all safety-related applications up to PL e as defined in EN ISO 13849-1

Technical features of the open, controller-based control system PMCprimo MC

• Complex machine processes for a large number of axes implemented easily thanks to the high processing power
• Can be flexibly integrated in any automation environment thanks to the large number of different interfaces: 3 encoders, 4 x CANopen, 1 x PROFIBUS-DP Slave + 3 x CANopen
• 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs each provide the foundation for a cost-effective control solution
