The packaged BLuAC5 range includes a PWM drive stage with a 5A continuous rating (15A peak) and direct-online 90-265V AC input.
The Eurocard construction is ideal for use by system integrators, a matching motherboard that simplifies connections also being provided.
Communication with the PM608 is by means of an RS232 or RS485 link.
With up to 99 controllers being connected to a single port, the number of motor channels that can be controlled exceeds 700 using a PM608-based system.
The new controller uses the basic Mclennan 600 series command structure and may be integrated in systems that require simultaneous as well as sequential motion when operated alongside Mclennan's powerful PM600 axis controller.
On setup, the number of motor channels to be controlled is programmed into the PM608's memory, which retains all the parameters relating to each channel.
The selected motor channel and status information is provided on the front panel display and motion sequences may be programmed into the PM608 for stand-alone operation.
16 optically isolated digital I/O ports are provided to enable full integration with other process control functions.
