ACS Motion Control開發了一個基于模塊控制系統的機架，此系統可以控制高達八個機架伺服驅動及通過CANopen的64個分布式軸。 MC4U過程控制系統設計用于多軸過程控制應用，用于多性能結合，支持多軸運動，靈活的驅動配置，PLC過程邏輯控制和便利的包裝。MC4U結合控制器、驅動器、電源和增加的I/O，提供機械自動化功能控制。應用包括：OEM生產，測試，設備監測，半導體，電子件裝配，通用自動化，醫療和平板顯示器。小容量需求的快速原型由標準的插入件，單個主板，外部網絡部件，標準機架安裝附件，前入口面板/機架固定件組成，交付時間在收到訂單后的一到兩周內。 可配置選項提供了一個低成本途徑，可整合特殊客戶的需求。如標準件，標準機架固定附件，用于客戶需求的特殊主板，不用手工布線，用戶可使用喜歡的接連器和固定件入口，帶有后向和前端入口的機架固定件，帶有前端入口的安裝面板附加用戶插卡。 ACS公司副總裁Evan Reed說：“我們的MC4U是一個平板機架安裝系統，其符合所有多軸過程控制的需要，僅需要很短的開發時間，還能降低風險和成本。MC4U系統不用折中精確性和生產量就能實現應用需求的管理。” 系統整合了特殊設計的電源，高性能的PWM驅動板塊，表現為現行的勻速循環數字控制，擁有排除抖動的線性驅動，減輕噪音的三相電機過濾器。結合公司的SPiiPlus CM控制模塊，通過排除每個軸上的智能控制器需求，從而消減了2軸到8軸的控制成本。主機不再需要管理網絡，并與單個MC4U系統相連接。ACS軟件工具提供了簡單的安裝，調整和試運行及模擬應用，可以下載免費的模擬器。 [FONT=times] original text [/FONT] [font=times][Color=#708090]Plymouth, MN – ACS Motion Control developed a rack-based modular control system that can control up to eight rack servo drives and 64 distributed axes via CANopen. The MC4U motion control system is designed for multi-axis motion control applications for a combination of performance, multiple support axes, flexible drive configuration, PLC motion and logic control, and convenient packaging. MC4U integrates controllers, drives, power supplies and additional I/O and networking capability to provide control of machine automation functions. Applications include OEM production, test or inspection equipment, semiconductor, electronic assembly, general automation, medical, and flat panel display. A fast prototype for low volume needs consists of standard plug-in components, mating individual motherboards, external network components, standard rack-mount enclosure, and front access panel/rack-mount, with a delivery time of one to two weeks after receipt of order. Custom configuration options provide a lower unit cost approach and integrate specific customer requirements, such as standard components, standard rack-mount enclosure, specially designed motherboard for customer needs, elimination of manual wiring, customer-preferred connectors, customer-preferred mounting and access, rack-mount with back or front access, panel-mount with front access, and the addition of customer‘s plug-in cards. "Built from standard components, our MC4U is a panel or rack-mounted system that addresses all multi-axis motion control needs, resulting in shorter development cycle time, reduced risk and lower costs," said Evan Reed, vice president, ACS Motion Control Inc. "The MC4U system manages demanding applications without compromising accuracy and throughput." The system integrates specifically designed power supplies; high-performance PWM drive blocks that feature current loop digital control for constant velocity; linear drives that eliminate jitter; and three-phase motor filters to increase motor functionality by reducing common and differential mode noise. Combined with the company’s SPiiPlus CM control module, it lowers the cost of controlling two to eight axes by eliminating the need for an intelligent controller at each axis. The host computer no longer needs to manage the network and can interface with the single MC4U system. ACS software tools provide easy setup, tuning, programming, and application simulation.
