Features
MC700 is a universal motion controller for 1 to 4 axes, which can be assigned any motion control functions by loading firmware. Together with the firmware BY701 (see firmware), this controller offers excellent synchronous functions for 1 - 4 axes.
The firmware offers all conceivable possibilities for the synchronization of drives, including the influence of phase position and the relative position between the drives and numerous index and print mark functions.
Optionally, a "physical master" or the built-in "virtual master axis" with programmable speeds and ramps can be used as the master drive.
The number of successive axes can be extended arbitrarily via a cascading output.
MC700 controllers can be operated via an external control terminal, serial interface or optional via CANBUS (MC700/CI). PC operator software is included.
PROFIBUS connection possible via gateway PB251 (see accessories)
