PACs work with master motion control module.
Press Release Summary:
When used with ADAM-5202 dual-port AMONet master motion control module, ADAM-5550 Series PACs (Programmable Automation Controllers) are turned into complete system for handling automation applications. ADAM-5202, compatible with high-speed real-time motion network interface (AMONet), is equipped with 2 master rings and can connect with up to 2,048 I/O points and 64 axes. Master ring supports up to 20 Mbps transfer rate and max communication distance of 100 m.
Original Press Release:
New Distributed Master Motion Control Module for Advantech PAC's
Advantech's Industrial Automation Group introduces a 2-port AMONet master motion control module, ADAM-5202, which is compatible with Advantech's high-speed real-time motion network interface, AMONet. The ADAM-5202 is the first distributed motion control module designed for use with ADAM-5550 Series PAC's (Programmable Automation Controllers). With this master motion control module, Advantech's PAC series becomes a complete system for handling versatile automation applications, especially for distributed motion control, suitable for high-end factory and machine automation tasks.
Equipped with 2 master rings, the ADAM-5202 can connect with up to 2048 I/O points and 64 axes for a versatile and long distance motion control application. The master ring can support up to 20 Mbps transfer rate and a maximum communication distance of up to 100 meters. With an advantage of distributed motion control, ADAM-5202 communicates between master and slave is based on a customized RS-485 solution that saves wires, covers a long distance, supports high-speed communication and has time-deterministic features. Instead of the complexity wiring and costs, ADAM-5202 can through a distributed AMONet, user can connect to different device with a simple RJ-45 wire. The master collects information from slave modules and publishes the information to its host PC. It also allow user to do an external expansion, like motion control in a short time. Without disassembly the case or change a complex wiring, customers can get a convenient expansion.
Furthermore, ADAM-5202 also provides various accessories of wiring modules (see below) to support multi-brand motors, to avoid damage caused by incompatible motor connectivity. Please check your system specifications to choose the appropriate accessory.
