New High Speed Rs485, Multi-axis Module For Jvl Mac Motors
New high-speed RS485 multi-axis module for JVL MAC motors
High-speed module, now with M12 connectors
JVL can now offer yet another new expansion module for integrated MAC motors MAC50 to 141 and MAC800. The new module, MAC00-FS4, is similar to previously released module FS1, but is equipped with M12 connectors for use in demanding environments. The module can be used in multi-axis applications with up to 255 units on the same RS485 bus with repeaters. I/O, position, error status, etc., are scanned locally and can be read very quickly from a PC or PLC. For example, 16 motors can be scanned in only 12 ms. It is possible to send new position data to 255 motors in only 133 ms. This is very advantageous for machines where many axes must be adjusted quickly and simultaneously. All motor parameters can also be read/written, and a group command enables simultaneous writing to a number of motors.
A new, improved MACCOMM OCX (ActiveX control) facilitates development of Windows software such as Visual Basic, Labview programs, etc., that can control up to 255 MAC motors.
