I/O Module features motion control capability.
Press Release Summary:
WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750-670 provides stepper motor and servo drive control in 12 mm package. It features 24 bit resolution for accurate positioning, 8 LEDs for status indication and diagnostics, and CAGE CLAMP® wiring technology. Product supports 2 pulse output patterns and step/direction or incremental encoder, and incorporates 2 digital inputs to support common motion signals such as start/stop, jog/trip, right/left, reference, next position, end-stop, and master clock.
Original Press Release:
I/O Module Eliminates Motion Controller
Germantown, WI January 2006 - WAGO Corporation is pleased to announce the addition of motion control capability in the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM family of products. Designated the 750-670, this new module provides stepper motor and servo drive control in a compact 12mm wide package.
"By integrating stepper motor and servo drive control into the fieldbus node (PLC or PC based), customers can eliminate the need for a separate motion controller," said Mark DeCramer, Product Manager of the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM. "This allows for one software platform for both motion and logic control requirements thereby simplifying application development, trouble shooting, as well as reducing overall installation costs."
The 750-670 supports two pulse output patterns, step/direction or incremental encoder, which are configured via a function block in WAGOs IEC 61131-3 programming tool - WAGO-I/O-PRO CAA. Communication with the stepper or servo drive is established via an RS-422 interface and controlled by a variable output frequency (0 to 500kHz). Furthermore, two digital inputs can be easily configured to support common motion signals such as, start/stop, jog/trip, right/left, reference, next position, end-stop, master clock, etc.
The 750-670 is also 100% compatible with all other WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 Series modules, allowing the free combination of digital, analog, and special function signals (such as encoder, up down counter, serial, etc.) in the same fieldbus node. In addition, a free choice of over 16 different fieldbus communication types (EtherNet/IP, Modbus/TCP, DeviceNet, Profibus, CANopen, etc.) is available. Other features include; 24 bit resolution for accurate positioning, 8 LEDs for status indication and diagnostics, CAGE CLAMP® wiring technology, and more.
WAGO is the worldwide leader in spring pressure connection technology designed to eliminate loose wires as a result of vibration and temperature cycling, as well as provide a highly reliable, corrosion resistant, and maintenance-free connection. Our complete line of spring pressure connection products include DIN rail mount terminal blocks, chassis mount terminal blocks, PCB mount terminal blocks, relays, signal conditioners, power supplies, surge suppressors, the WAGO I/O SYSTEM and more.
