Integrated Motion Control
If you need a motion control solution that will help reduce engineering time, shorten your development cycle, reduce the need for after-sale support, and save you a substantial amount of time, money, and effort, Kinetix™ Integrated Motion from Rockwell Automation is the solution you've been looking for. Kinetix Integrated Motion is a combination of architecture, world class Allen-Bradley motion products, and motion application expertise. It's ideal for applications in packaging, material handling, assembly, converting, and many others. With its broad range of high performance products, Kinetix Integrated Motion effectively meets the most demanding motion control needs.
Logix
Logix combines motion, sequential, process, safety and drive control into one multi-tasking control platform, helping to provide lower system costs, easier maintenance and simplified system installation.
RSLogix 5000
Logix Programmable Automation Controllers use RSLogix 5000 software to configure, program, commission and monitor a system. Motion control functions are embedded in the RSLogix 5000 programming software and in the controller for complete synchronization - eliminating the need for multiple programming tools. Just add and configure motion axes and drives using the wizard-based configuration tools, insert any of the 41 motion instructions in the application program, and create simple or complex motion profiles.
Networks
The Rockwell Automation integrated motion solution offers a choice of drive/controller networks:
Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP allows you to use a single network for complete machine control and helps to simplify and enhance machine design.
SERCOS interface uses a noise-immune fiber-optic ring and offers a variety of servo drive options.
Drives
A wide variety of Allen-Bradley servo drives offer the benefits of Kinetix Integrated Motion, providing a choice of drives for improved performance in both single axis and multi-axis applications - as well as network options. Kinetix servo drives are seamlessly integrated into the Logix platform and offer: plug and play configurability, fast integration and start up, excellent diagnostics as well as high performance.
Motors
Kinetix servo motors use Smart Motor Technology to provide automatic identification of correct motor-to-drive connectivity, helping to reduce commissioning time. High perfomrance can be achieved with more than 2,000,000 position counts per motor revolution, and motors are available to handle a variety of environmental challenges.
Actuators
Allen-Bradley provides both linear and rotary actuators which are designed to reduce machine design time and provide high performance.
Motion Application Expertise
Rockwell Automation combines years of motion control application experience with world-class products to provide an integrated motion solution that's designed to meet your needs.
Motion Control Solutions for Smaller Applications
If you need a cost-competitive solution for simpler, low axis count motion control solutions, Allen-Bradley also provides products to meet the needs of applications not requiring all the benefits of integrated motion.
