Schneider Electric is expanding its popular Magelis range of HMI terminals with four key new additions, offering superior performance and functionality at reduced cost.
Surge protection range expanded
The PRF1 master surge arresters are Type 1 devices which provide protection against the effects of direct lightning strikes.
The Lexium PAC range is ideal for a broad range of machines from material handling and transfer machines, assembly machines, inspection machines and any machines working "on the fly" such as cutting and printing.
All standard motion control functions are provided with up to eight synchronised axes at high speed (2ms for four axes), enabling linear and circular interpolation.
The system supports Modbus as well as CANopen, Ethernet TCP/IP and Profibus DP V1.
The Lexium PAC also integrates seamlessly with all other Schneider Electric automation products such as Altivar drives, Advantys remote I/O, Tesys Model U motor starters, Magelis HMIs and the latest Modiconm340 machine controller.
The Lexium motion controller is sufficiently powerful to require no other PLCs for many applications.
Programming is quick and simple using function block libraries.
It is also easy to debug the complete installation using the intuitive tools.
The Lexium controller saves panel space and is suitable for small machines.
Complementing the motion control elements of the Lexium PAC offer are the Lexium 05 and 15 servo drive amplifiers and the low-mass, high-dynamic-response BSH or BDH servomotors.
The Lexium PAC offer is available with Easy Motion software for axis configuration and editing.
Motion Pro software is also available, with all the features and benefits of Easy Motion, along with IEC61131-compliant software, electronic signaturing and program code protection.
