Motion Controllers

Overview

Control Techniques offers a comprehensive range of motion control products. Including products for single, axis-and-a-half and multi-axis servo systems, designed to perform in distributed, centralized and hybrid control architectures. See our Servo Drives section for more information on our solutions.

PowerTools Pro software and the full line of compact servo drives continue Emerson’s quarter-century tradition of providing machine builders and OEM’s with “Motion Made Easy!”® - motion control solutions that are economical, reliable, and easy to install and program. SyPT Pro software is our extremely flexible programming environment allowing users to program in function block, ladder or structured text.

FM Control Modules <click for details

FM-2FM-4EFM-3E

FM control modules provide EN & MDS drives with “snap-on” functionality for Indexing (FM-2), Programming (FM-3E), and Advanced Programming (FM-4E). This modular approach allows users to choose the level of advanced machine control they need, based on the applications parameters and not the drive “spec”. For applications requiring traditional multi-axis control, our MC controller is easily integrated with a single cable connection. These modules are programmed using the our PowerTools Pro software.

Motion Control      MC

The Motion Coordinator series of centralized controllers offer scalability, modularity, and flexibility. Scalability is offered through the choice of two different base controllers, four different servo drive series, and over 15 daughter board options. These solutions work with our Unidrive SP, Digitax ST, Epsilon EP-B, MDS and EN series servo drives.

SM - Solution Modules for Motion Control <click for details

SMSMSM

Our automation solution modules contain a high performance microprocessor used for advanced trajectory, event and network processing, leaving the drive’s own processor available to provide the best possible motor control.These solution modules work with both our Unidrive SP and integrated into our Digitax ST products.

These features are integrated into the variants of our Digitax ST drive product family. Our motion control module offerings are: SM-EZMotion, SM-Applications Plus and SM-Applications Lite V2.
