MECHATROLINK-II
Motion made easy
The market is changing, and technology is
changing with it. To ensure that Omron continues
to be at the forefront of providing the best motion
control solutions to the market, the company
is offering a series of controllers on all control
architectures, including PLC-based, stand-alone
and PC-based. The benefits are clear. A user can
be confident that he is choosing a stable, flexible
and reliable motion controller that suits his needs,
not the other way around.
This motion controller series works with
Mechatrolink, a common digital motion control
bus. Such bus systems are increasingly replacing
traditional analogue and pulse technology as they
offer many benefits, including:
• Ease of installation: the Mechatrolink digital
bus uses pre-configured cables, so connection
between the motion controller and servo axes
really is plug and go. There are no more complex
terminations and wiring to contend with, which
reduces installation costs and simplifies
commissioning and fault-finding.
• Information handling: valuable application
data such as status, torque, current and faults
can be easily obtained via the Mechatrolink
connections. This information is vital for
reducing initial machine development time,
commissioning and machine down-time.
• Reliability: by reducing the need for a high
number of wires and connections, the system's
reliability is improved.
These motion controllers form part of Omron's
overall Automation product range. Motion control
becomes an integrated part of the application,
able to share information between areas of
a machine or factory.
