Presentation
The Modicon LMC058 motion controller is the optimum solution for axis control and positioning, including automation functions. It forms a part of Flexible Machine Control approach, a key component of MachineStruxureTM, which brings you maximum flexibility and ensures the most optimised control solution The Modicon LMC058 motion controller meets the needs of a wide range of applications in all business sectors. This motion controller is designed for machine manufacturers (OEMs) who require synchronized axes, focusing on applications such as packaging, conveying and storage machines, metal and wood working machines, etc. and offers highperformance solutions for velocity control, counting, axis control and communication functions. To this end, the LMC058 master motion controller includes as standard: b A CANopen master b A CANmotion master dedicated to control of up to 8 synchronized axes, with a performance of 2 ms for 4 axes With Motion controllers Modicon LMC058, Lexium 32 and Lexium SD3 drives, and BSH and BDH servo motors, Schneider Electric offers a complete, highperformance and cost-effective solution.
This is specifically designed for applications such as:
Application
The Modicon LMC058 motion controller performs axis synchronization and
coordination, via a fieldbus, for applications requiring control of up to 8
synchronized axes.
It integrates the standard motion control functions:
> Velocity control and torque control
> Relative or absolute positioning
> Cam profiles for slave axes and control of programmable cam switches
> Virtual axes
> Electronic gearing function for velocity and position, linear and circular interpolations (2½D)
> Master axis using an external encoder
> Distance measurement and position capture on high-speed (30 μs) digital input
This is specifically designed for applications such as:
> Material handling machines (conveyors, palletizers, storage and retrieval systems, etc.) and transfer machines (cranes, etc.)
> Assembly machines (tool fixing, clamping, etc.)
> Inspection and quality control machines
>Packaging machines working “on the fly” (flying shear, printing, marking, etc.)
> Wood and metal working machines
