Multi−axis applications with the SPC200

The SPC200 axis controller offers the possibility of parallel
program processing and supports the setting up of multi−axis
applications. An SPC200 can control up to 4 axes. It thereby
supports:

ć

the coordinated mode

ć

the autonomous mode

Coordinated mode

The possibility of parallel program processing is not norĆ
mally used in the coordinated mode. Only one program is
defined as the starting program. NC records with positioning
tasks for all axes are programmed in this program.

If a positioning task concerns e.g. all axes, it is not completed
until all the axes have reached the target position. The moveĆ
ment sequence of all axes is thereby coordinated.

Autonomous mode

With the implementation of multi−axis systems, the conĆ
nected axes can be distributed into two asynchronously−
functioning independent work stations. This permits the
low−cost implementation of two independent one or two−
axis systems with one SPC200.

In the autonomous mode, the two parallel−running programs
each contain positioning tasks for one defined work station.
In this way, e.g. a loading and unloading station can be conĆ
trolled with just one SPC200.
