Positioning

A large selection of motion control solutions are available to fit any motion application.

High-speed, accurate positioning control

Various types of motion control are supported including 2 to 4-axis linear interpolation, 2-axis circular interpolation, speed control, speed/position changeover, path control and constant speed control. Making settings (including positioning data), monitoring, and debugging is made much easier using GX Works2's built-in intelligent function module tools or the stand-alone tool, GX Configurator-QP. For servo control, Q Series leverages the benefits of SSCNET, a Mitsubishi high performance motion control network. This allows Mitsubishi intelligent digital servos to be connected by a simple daisy chain cable that reduces cost and increases performance.

System configuration example
  • ● Positioning module Open collector pulse train output type
  • ● Positioning module Differential driver pulse train output type

For compatibility with the widest range of motion hardware, both open collector and differential driver type positioning modules are available. Transmission of high-speed pulses, up to 4 Mpps, to a servo amplifier can be made reliably up to 10 meters away. These pulse train output positioning modules can provide a high level of speed and accuracy for practically any application.

The ideal solution for simple multi-axis positioning

These modules are ideal for high-speed linear positioning control in a multi-axis system.
Easily satisfying the requirements for simple positioning control applications, these modules include functions, such as positioning control, speed control and variable positioning control.

System configuration example
  • ● Positioning module Open collector pulse train output type
  • ● Positioning module Differential driver pulse train output type

These modules are a great match for stepper motor control. Acceleration and deceleration can be performed smoothly with very fine changes in speed. “Fast start processing” is a basic feature that allows for a single axis positioning start time of just 0.1 ms.
