Synchronous Controllers

Synchronous Controllers (Electronic Shaft or Gearbox) for Synchronization of speed, events, positions and Print Marks Control.

All Motrona Synchronous Controller can accept marker pulses from encoders and from remote proximity switches or photocells to automatically produce the correct position with pitch or cycle related applications. The Motrona range of synchronous controllers can operate with all variable speed drives (AC Drives, DC Drives, Servo or hydraulic type) that has a ±10 V speed reference signal. The extremely fast position control loop provides excellent performance even with highly dynamic applications.

Synchronous Controller BY641

Short description on BY641:

The BY641 Synchronous Controller is suitable for control purposes on smaller machines and systems with a smaller budget. The BY641 Synchronous Controller allows a direct adjustment of the speed ration via a front BCD decade switch. The Synchronous Controller has 4 programmable limit values for transistor switching outputs as well as 4 potential-free changeover output relays, a 14 bit analog output (± 10 V or 0/4 ... 20 mA) and a serial RS232 interface.

Synchronization of Drives Firmware BY701:
in combination with Motion Controller MC700

Synchronous Controller BY701

Short description on BY701:

The BY701 firmware is used in applications where either angle-synchronous synchronisation of drives (electronic shaft) or variable ratio (electronic transmission) is required. Short position control (< 1 ms) and the intelligent calculation of algorithms ensure the highest precision in all synchronous phases. The MC700 controller can operate up to 4 axes.

MC700 is a universal motion controller for 1 to 4 axes, which can be assigned any motion control functions by loading a 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 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 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)
