The MC403-X has one built in RS232 port and one built in duplex RS485 channel for simple
factory communication systems. Either the RS232 port or the RS485 port may be
configured to run the Modbus or Hostlink protocol for PLC or HMI interfacing.
If the built-in CAN channel is not used for connecting I/O modules, it may optionally be
used for CAN communications. E.g. DeviceNet, CANopen etc.
Removable storage
The MC403-X has a micro-SD Card slot which allows a simple
means of transferring programs, firmware and data without a PC
connection. Offering the OEM easy machine replication and
servicing.
The memory slot is compatible with a wide range of micro-SD
cards up to 32Gbytes using the FAT32 compatible file system.
AXIS POSITIONING FUNCTIONS
The motion control software receives instructions to move an axis or axes from the
Motion-iX or IEC 61131-3 language which is running concurrently on the same processor.
The motion generation software provides control during operation to ensure smooth,
coordinated movements with the velocity profiled as specified by the controlling
program. Linear interpolation may be performed on groups of axes, and circular, helical
or spherical interpolation in any two/three orthogonal axes. Each axis may run
independently or they may be linked in any combination using interpolation, CAM profile
or the electronic gearbox facilities.
Consecutive movements may be merged to produce continuous path motion and the user
may program the motion using programmable units of measurement (e.g. mm, inches,
revs etc.). The module may also be programmed to control only the axis speed. The
positioner checks the status of end of travel limit switches which can be used to cancel
moves in progress and alter program execution.
