MOVI-C^® CONTROLLER

The control technology is based on a shared platform for control cabinet and decentralized controllers with the same functions and an identical variety of interfaces. Whether they are used for motion control, automation control or cyber-physical control tasks, MOVI-C^® CONTROLLER units can be linked to the higher-level controller of a machine cell or system using classic PROFINET, EtherNet/IP^TM or Modbus TCP fieldbus systems. Alternatively, they can be used as stand-alone controllers for machines or lines. MOVI-C^® CONTROLLERs then take over smooth communication with the lower-level devices – e.g. MOVIDRIVE^® inverters – via EtherCAT^®/SBus^PLUS and their clock-synchronous connection to the motion/application.

The performance class of a MOVI-C^® CONTROLLER depends on the number of inverters and the number of synchronous axes and auxiliary axes that are required for the motion and need to be configured. Four performance classes are available for selection. All versions have a compact design, meaning they can fit into even small machine control cabinets.

The added value that really counts in terms of reducing complexity comes from the integrated software of the centralized and decentralized controllers – parameterizing rather than programming. This software gives you, as a user, more freedom to customize parameters while reducing your outlay on programming. Our control technology and software also give you the option of doing the programming yourself. If you prefer to write special programs yourself for your application, e.g. for PLC functions or specific controls, because this is how you differentiate yourself more strongly from your competitors, then our software platform offers you the corresponding options here.
