Do you associate control technology with complex processes and extensive work required during startup and production operations? It doesn't have to be. There's an easier way. Parameterize instead of programming – motion control and open-loop control functions that are tailored to your requirements.
Control technology made by SEW EURODRIVE: MOVI-C® CONTROLLER
Whether they are used for motion control or as an automation controller, MOVI-C® CONTROLLER units use classic fieldbus–slave interfaces for the PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IPTM or Modbus TCP fieldbus systems to connect to the higher-level controller of a machine cell or system. They handle the communication with the higher-level devices, for instance a MOVIDRIVE® application inverter, and ensure a synchronous connection between these devices and the motion/application.
A MOVI-C® CONTROLLER unit's performance class is determined by the number of inverters and the number of synchronous axes and auxiliary axes that must be configured for the motion. You can select from four performance classes for 32/32, 16/16, 8/8 or 2/6 axes. All classes have a compact design so that they can be installed in even small control cabinets.
But the greatest potential for reducing complexity comes from the software of the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER: parameterization instead of programming. For you as user, this means more freedom in parameterization and less programming work. This is accomplished by the MOVIRUN® software platform, which together with the MOVIKIT® modular software system and its standardized modules eliminates complexity from the processes, saves time and cuts costs.
Further benefits of our control technology include the easy, central data management and the auto-reload function for axis replacement.
