Motion/Logic Controllers are offered in 4 multiaxis models.
Press Release Summary:
ServoWire Motion and Logic Controllers are available in 3-, 8-, 16-, and 24-axis models. Offering motion control and PLC functions in single package, units are powered by Intel® 32-bit processors and can interface with high-speed drive-based I/O for microsecond position capture. They also offer less than 1 ms programmable limit switch outputs, tightly coupled to motion control. Devices are suited for packaging, material handling, medical, and general assembly applications.
Original Press Release:
ORMEC Debuts Newly Enhanced SLMC Family
Four Multi-axis Models Ideal for Packaging, Material Handling, Medical, Pharmaceutical and General Assembly Applications
May 8, 2009, Rochester, New York, USA - ORMEC Systems Corporation (ORMEC) today announced the enhancement of its ServoWire Motion & Logic Controller (SMLC) family. Now with four available models, the SLMC family is designed to provide fully integrated and centralized machinery motion, I/O and networking control, well-suited for a variety of packaging, material handling, medical, pharmaceutical, and general assembly applications.
Available in 3-, 8-, 16- and 24-axis models, the SMLC family offers the benefits of both motion control and PLC functions within a single package. With high-performance computing capability and a true real-time operating system, powered by Intel® 32-bit processors, the SMLC is able to provide cost-effective, robust computing power for even the most demanding multi-axis motion and I/O control applications.
To facilitate a multi-tiered, flexible approach to machinery I/O applications, the SMLC family is able to interface with high-speed drive-based I/O, for microsecond position capture, and offer single servo update response to sensor signals. It also provides sub-millisecond programmable limit switch outputs, tightly coupled to the motion control. For general purpose I/O applications, a variety of analog and digital modules can be cost-effectively connected to and controlled by the SMLC. When combined with pre-written Application Specific Function Blocks, the SMLC helps save programming time and cost.
Notes Dennis Morrow, ORMEC vice president of Marketing and Sales, "Additional enhancements and model options in our SMLC family combine ORMEC's high performance motion engine with PLC capability and world-class open standard software, allowing customers to focus on solving application challenges instead of integrating control components -and ultimately helping them save time and money. We hope that this family, and other forthcoming new products, will provide customers with ongoing new solutions to their motion control needs."
