Mitsubishi Electric positioning module enables tension control in winding applications
Mitsubishi Electric Automation Systems
Simple Motion Module
Mitsubishi Electric has expanded its Melsec L-Series range of positioning modules with the Simple Motion Module, which is designed to enable advanced motion-control functions such as positioning, speed control, torque control, cam control, synchronous control and mark detection to be realised with simple parameter settings and a sequence program accredited to the IEC 6M3N-3 standard.
For positioning control, the Simple Motion Module supports the linear interpolation of up to four axes, the circular interpolation of two axes, fixed feed control and continuous orbit control.
Auxiliary functions such as M codes, step operation, skip and target position change are all available, while speed- and torque-control features make the Simple Motion Module suitable for tasks such as tension control in winding applications.
In addition, a built-in mark detection signal interface allows the system to be incorporated into packaging systems without the need for additional modules.
