Product Overview

What can the C230-2 do?
The C230-2 is a motion control module for controlling servo drives via PROFIBUS
DP and four onboard drive interfaces.
The following configurations can be selected:
S Four axes via the onboard drive interface or
S Axes via PROFIBUS DP or
S Mixed operation with a maximum of four axes via the onboard drive interface
and axes via PROFIBUS DP
The number of operable axes on the PROFIBUS DP depends on the set system
cycle clocks, i.e. more than four axes can be operated with longer cycle times.
The C230-2 is a powerful module for positioning independent, single axes or mo-
tions in an axis grouping.
Both rotary axes and linear axes can be operated.
The configuration, parameterization, commissioning, programming and diagnostics
of the C230-2 is carried out via the Engineering System (ES).
For which applications can the C230-2 be used?
The C230-2 can be used both for positioning and synchronous operation (gearbox
and cam).
Typical areas in which the motion control module can be used are:
S Packaging industry
S Plastics industry
S Presses
S Textile industry
S Printing industry
S Wood, glass, ceramic, stone
