HOME INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS APPLICATIONS PRODUCTS SUPPORT NEWS CONTACT US USER LOGIN Login Product Information SMLC Multi-Axis Models 30, 80 and 160 ORMEC’s ServoWire Motion & Logic Controller (SMLC) is the center of a complete machine control solution to meet your motion, I/O and networking needs. This platform combines ORMEC's motion engine with high performance PLC capability and world class open standard software. Focus your engineering efforts on solving your application instead of integrating control components. Key Features High Performance Pentium processors Motion and PLC functions in one cost effective package 3, 8 and 16 axes models IEEE 1394b ServoWire (FireWire) digital network IEC 61131-3 all 5 standard languages Modbus/TCP communications QNX RTOS - real time operating system UL/CE marked RoHS compliant Locking 1394 connectors on Revision 2 hardware Application Specific Function Block software for common applications Customizable for OEM applications SMLC Controllers The SMLC features high performance computing capability combined with a true real-time operating system (RTOS). Industry standard Intel 32-bit processors run the QNX RTOS and provide cost effective, robust computing power for demanding multi-axis motion and I/O control applications. SMLCs are used in a wide range of industrial and aerospace markets including packaging, converting, labeling, web & material handling, medical, pharmaceutical, as well as general assembly and winding. Machine I/O The SMLC provides a multi-tiered, flexible approach to meet machine I/O requirements. It has the ability to interface high-speed drive-based I/O for microsecond position capture and single servo update response to sensor signals. Sub-millisecond programmable limit switch outputs are tightly coupled to the motion control. General purpose I/O options are fully supported using WAGO 750 Series Ethernet I/O as well as optional Profibus DP Master. In either case, a wide variety of cost effective analog and digital I/O modules are connected to and controlled by the SMLC. The SMLC reduces system complexity and lowers total installed cost. Servos are daisy-chained and interface to the controller using a standard IEEE-1394b network interface and cabling. ServoWire Drive Network ORMEC’s AC brushless servo motors and ServoWire digital servo drives offer guaranteed performance with the SMLC. Maximum performance from a tightly integrated, pre-engineered package simplifies everything from system integration to maintenance. Fully digital control offers compelling benefits—eliminating manual servo drive setup and providing real-time software access to all parameters. In an SMLC system, position, velocity and torque loops are closed by the digital signal processors (DSPs) in the ServoWire drives and are based on position commands sent from the SMLC. Velocity observer software eliminates the need for analog tachometers. Potentiometers are eliminated because gain and compensation parameters are set in software. All loop adjustments are automatically computed when a motor and its load inertia are specified in ServoWire Pro. This simplifies servo system tuning.
