Motion module, simple motion module

Motion module and simple motion module are easy to setup similar to the positioning module and offer high-precision motion controller performance. This is an easy-to-use module specifically designed for highly precise motion control applications, available with connection to either CC-Link IE TSN, CC-Link IE Field or SSCNET Ⅲ/H networks depending on the model.

Positioning control (sealant-glue applicator, etc.)
Synchronous control/electronic cam control (Pick and place, packaging machine, etc.)
Speed-torque control (Press machine, injection molding, etc.)
Speed/position control switching (semiconductor wafer production, etc.)

Positioning module

Capable of high-speed transmission (5M pulses/s^*1), the positioning module can control up to four axes. This versatile module supports connection to a wide range of motion devices, such as pulse-train input servo amplifiers or stepping motor with a transistor (open collector), or differential driver input interface.

*1: Differential driver output

Positional control (sealant-glue applicator, etc.)
Speed control (Conveyor control, paper roller feed-in, etc.)
Linear, circular, helical interpolation (High-speed milling, etc.)

High-speed counter module

Capable of measurements at up to 8M pulses/s^*2, the high-speed counter module is an ideal low-cost position control solution that provides precise positional tracking when used in combination with an incremental encoder.

*2: Differential input

Pulse measurement by an encoder (conveyor control, etc.)
PWM (pulse-width modulation) system drive control
