1 Introduction to the Motion Control Function Module
1-1

Features

The Motion Control Function Module (sometimes abbreviated to "MC Function Module") is a function
module of the Software that is embedded in the Real-Time OS of the Industrial PC. The MC Function
Module can perform motion control for up to 64 axes through the EtherCAT port that is built into the
Industrial PC. Cyclic communications are performed with Servo Drives and other devices that are con-
nected to the EtherCAT port to enable high-speed, high-precision machine control.
Motion Control Instructions Based on PLCopen
The motion control instructions of the MC Function Module are based on motion control function blocks
that are standardized by PLCopen
ing, interpolation control, synchronized control (e.g., of electronic cams), velocity control, and torque
control. You can set the velocity, acceleration rate, deceleration rate, and jerk each time a motion con-
trol instruction is executed to flexibly control operation according to the application.

• Jerk
Jerk is the rate of change in the acceleration rate or deceleration rate. If you specify the jerk, the
velocity graph will form an S-curve for acceleration and deceleration.
Data Transmission Using EtherCAT Communications
The MC Function Module can be combined with OMRON 1S-series Servo Drives with built-in EtherCAT
communications or G5-series Servo Drives with built-in EtherCAT communications to enable exchange
of all control information with high-speed data communications. The various control commands are
transmitted via data communications. That means that the Servomotor's operational performance is
maximized without being limited by interface specifications, such as the response frequency of the
encoder feedback pulses. You can use the Servo Drive's various control parameters and monitor data
on a host controller to unify management of system information.
Additional Information
What Is EtherCAT?
EtherCAT is an open high-speed industrial network system that conforms to Ethernet (IEEE
802.3). Each node achieves a short cycle time by transmitting Ethernet frames at high speed. A
mechanism that allows sharing clock information enables high-precision synchronized control
with low communications jitter.
