FCB concept

FCB = Function control block

The FCB concept describes the modular firmware design of inverters from the MOVI-C® modular automation system with which it is ensured that a wide range of drive functions can be selected or deselected quickly and easily using control words.

All primary functions are selected as FCBs. For example, positioning control requires the FCB 09, while speed control is implemented with FCB 05.

You can switch between different FCBs at any time. Switching to another FCB takes place with a maximum delay of 0.5 ms.

Different priorities are assigned to the FCBs. If an FCB with a higher priority than the currently active FCB is selected, the FCB with the higher priority is activated.

The modules in the MOVIDRIVE® modular multi-axis system are divided into 3 categories:

  • FCBs that are used in MDA90A and MDD9_A
  • FCBs that are used in MDR9_B
  • FCBs that can be active in MDP92 and MDE92
