The 3.6 firmware release for GE Fanuc Automation's VersaMax Micro 64 Controllers provides unprecedented ease of use for creating motion commands.
GE Fanuc Automation has released new motion commands for the VersaMax Micro 64 Controllers.
The 3.6 firmware release provides unprecedented ease of use for creating motion commands.
There are now powerful function blocks, for Jogging, Find Home, Go Home, Blended Move (1 to 4 moves), and Stop Motion, according to Karl Pickan, European Product Manager for Machine Automation, GE Fanuc Automation Solutions Europe.
"In addition to the new motion commands we have increased the performance of the high-speed counter to 32 bits".
"The VersaMax Micro 64 can support up to four axes (65kHz pulse out and 100kHz in) of motion control and can easily control GE Fanuc MotorCube steppers, PowerCube steppers, S2K servos or any third-party stepper or servo with a pulse/direction command interface", Pickan said.
The VersaMax Micro 64 provides a complete solution for any company's automation needs.
Its quality construction provides reliable operation and is designed to minimise maintenance costs.
The Micro 64 is easy to use and support, and is available with a wide range of I/O expansion modules and a variety of communications options including Ethernet.
The factory started shipping firmware 3.6 on VersaMax Micro 64s in December 2006, however existing customers can upgrade to 3.6 via a free download from the company's website.
