MOTION CONTROL MODULES: The
PowerMax3000
TM
Slicer Computer sends
operational information to the 3 Motion Control
Modules over the Profibus Network. (Illustration 5)
The Motion Control Modules are manufactured by
Siemens. The Motion Control Modules send control
signals over an Ethernet Network to the Servo
Drives to control all of the Servo Motors.
(Illustration 6) Each Motion Controller has its own
Computer and Software Chip. The U1 Motion
Controller is the Main Computer that controls all of
the Servo Motors on the Slicer. The U2 and U9
Modules are secondary Computers. The U1 Motion
Controller sends command signals and operational
information to the U2 and U9 Motion Control
Modules. The U2 and U9 Modules use this
information to send command and control
information to the Servo Drives under their control.
The U1 Motion Controller also sends command
and control information to the Servo Drives that are
directly under its control.
