Motion controller makes servo programming simple

Commonly encountered problems in servo motion control applications have been overcome by what is described by Yaskawa Electric as its simplest yet most advanced motion controller solution ever.

Commonly encountered problems in servo motion control applications have been overcome by what is described by Yaskawa Electric as its simplest yet most advanced motion controller solution ever.

The MP940 controller is a 1.5-axis machine controller that is designed for use with Yaskawa's compact, high performance Sigma II servomotors and drives.

The MP940 incorporates cam profiling, phase adjustment, registration, electronic gearing and user definable I/O as standard, making it the ideal choice for numerous motion control applications from simple point to point positioning to full machine control.

The MP940 is programmed using Yaskawa's powerful MotionWorks Plus software, which is an intuitive icon based interface with wizards and menus to make programming simple.

A visual flow chart is used to set-up application programs with the software also handling controller/servo setup and tuning.

Communication options include DeviceNet, CERF and Modbus RTU.

Tools for troubleshooting and diagnostics are also included.
