Integrated Motion Controller - For Positioning And Synchronization Applications - Danfoss VLT AutomationDrive FC 300 Series Selection Manual

Integrated motion controller – for positioning
and synchronization applications
Perform high-precision positioning
and synchronization, simply using an
AC drive. With the Integrated Motion
Controller (IMC) functionality, the
VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302
replaces more complex positioning
and synchronization controllers, to save
time and cost.
Positioning and synchronization
operations are typically performed
using a servo drive or a motion
controller. However, many of these
applications do not actually require
the dynamic performance available
from a servo drive.
Therefore the FC 302 with IMC is a cost-
effective, high-performance alternative
to servo in single-axis positioning and
synchronizing applications.
Use IMC for many applications that
have been solved with servo drives
until now, such as:
Rotary tables

Use FC 302 to run an induction or PM
motor with or without motor feed-
back – with no need for additional
hardware. With sensorless control (no
motor feedback) best performance is
achieved with a PM motor. The perfor-
mance of sensorless control of induc-
tion motors is however sufficient for
less-demanding applications.
With IMC you save time and cost:
No advanced programming and
n
fewer components means fewer
hours needed for engineering,
installation and commissioning
Save further cost for a feedback
n
device, cabling and installation by
using sensorless control
To save cost for a home sensor and
n
cabling, use the "homing on torque
limit" function
The IMC solution provides
easy and safe set-up:
Configuration via parameters, with
n
no advanced programming required.
Reduced complexity will minimize
the risk of errors
To add more functionality, use the
n
Smart Logic Controller (SLC), which
is fully compatible with IMC
To realign the home position
