Integrated Motion Modules
ControlLogix Integrated Motion Modules Overview
The Logix architecture supports motion control components that work in a wide variety of machine architectures.
- The Kinetix integrated-motion solution uses a SERCOS interface module to perform complex, multi-axis, synchronized motion. With a Kinetix system, you reap the full benefit of the Integrated Architecture platform because the integration doesn’t stop at the controller. This system integrates the drive, the motor, and even the actuator at a lower cost per axis of motion. Use the same RSLogix 5000 programming software to configure, program, and commission your application.
- Logix integrated motion supports the analog family of servo modules for controlling drives/actuators. This solution is separate from the SERCOS interface. The analog family of servo modules provide a ±10 voltage analog output and can interface with a variety of feedback device types including rotary/linear absolute and incremental.
- Networked motion provides the ability to connect via the DeviceNet network to a single axis drive to perform simple, point-to-point indexing. You need Ultraware software for drive and indexing configuration.
For more information, see the:
- Motion Analyzer sfotware to size your motion application and to make final component selection.
- Kinetix Motion Control Selection Guide, publication GMC-SG001, to verify drive, motor, and accessory specifications.
Communicate Over a Network
Some servo drives are supported through communication interface modules. The controller can communicate with these servo drives over these networks.
