Ethernet support is provided in Compumotor s Motion Planner Software environment that is included with the 6K Controller. Because it employs Compumotor s mature 6000 programming language, our existing customers are already experts. The flexible architecture of the 6K Controller enables an engineer to utilize either servo or stepper motors under one controller. The 6K Controller serves both servo and stepper drives of any power rating. Each module mounts four SIMs of eight inputs or eight outputs.
Unused mounts enable low-cost expansion.
Multitasking Applications requiring multiple independent control sequences on the same process to be executed are easily accomplished with the 6K multitasking feature. In the case of a motion controller, the tasks are motion programs which need to run simultaneously. An overriding program or supervisor is used to start operation and any task may launch another task or program at any time. Multitasking also enables our customers to partition one controller into two separate controllers offering additional flexibility.
