4 Integrated Motion Controller

4.1 Introduction

NOTICE
The integrated motion control is only available with special IMC software version 48.XX. To order the frequency
converter with the IMC software, use the type code with software release version S067.
The integrated motion controller (IMC) enables position control with all motor control principles and motor types with and
without feedback.
To activate the IMC functionality, select [9] Positioning or [10] Synchronization in parameter 1-00 Configuration Mode. IMC
enables the following functions:
•
Positioning: Absolute, relative, and touch probe.
•
Homing.
•
Position synchronization.
•
Virtual master.
Position control in both positioning and synchronization modes can be either sensorless or with feedback. In the sensorless
control principle, the motor angle calculated by the motor controller is used as feedback. In the closed-loop control
®
principle, VLT AutomationDrive FC 302 supports 24 V encoders as standard. With extra options, the frequency converter
supports most standard incremental encoders, absolute encoders, and resolvers.
The position controller can handle both linear and rotary systems. The controller can scale positions to any relevant physical
unit such as mm or degrees.
4.2 Positioning, Homing, and
Synchronization
4.2.1 Positioning
The frequency converter supports relative positioning and absolute positioning. A positioning command requires 3 inputs:
•
Target position.
•
Speed reference.
•
Ramp times.
These 3 inputs can come from various sources, see Illustration 4.1.
