Hardware Architecture

The NYCe 4000 system is intended for the high-end motion control market.
The hardware of the NYCe 4000 system consists of:
● a node, containing slide-in modules that perform the functions needed in
the system
● an industrial PC that controls the functions present within the motion
node, using a IEEE 1394b or IEEE 802.3 electrical connection
Fig. 4-1: NYCe 4000 Motion system
The motion node is a multiple axis controller with servo amplifiers included. It
is a modular and flexible concept for 1 to 10 axes. For different axes, there
are many variations for the interface electronics to the physical world,
regarding
● power requirements of the servo motors,
● types of motors,
● types of position sensor interfaces,
● and amount of axis related I/O.
A motion node has one central processor module (motion control unit or
MCU) with an IEEE 1394b or IEEE 802.3 interface, and executes the general
node software. The axis drive modules are connected to this MCU. The drive
modules contain all axis I/O and servo amplifier(s), see
Node Modules" on page 24.
The modules are mounted in a system housing with a backplane that
arranges the connections to system power, servo power, motors, encoders
and I/O, see chapter 4.3 "System housing with backplane" on page
