The SoftLogix Motion Control System

This chapter describes the SoftLogix motion control system and its
components.

SoftLogix Motion Control

The Virtual Chassis, SoftLogix controller, 1784-PM02AE servo card,
1784-PM16SE SERCOS interface card, and RSLogix 5000 programming
software provide integrated motion control support.

• The Chassis Monitor lets you create, delete, monitor, and configure

controllers and communication interface cards such as ControlNet,
DeviceNet, 1784-PM02AE and 1784-PM16SE motion cards in the
SoftLogix Virtual Chassis.

• The SoftLogix5860 controller contains a high-speed motion task, which

executes ladder motion commands and generates position and velocity
profile information. The controller sends this profile information to one
or more 1784-PM02AE servo modules. You can use several Logix
controllers in each chassis. Each controller can control up to 32 axes of
motion.

• The 1784-PM02AE servo module connects to a servo drive and closes a

high-speed position and velocity loop. Each SoftLogix controller can
support up to 16 1784-PM02AE servo modules. Each 1784-PM02AE
module can control up to two axes.

• The 1784-PM16SE SERCOS interface module serves as the interface

between one SoftLogix processor and 1 to 16 axes operating in either
position or velocity mode. The module has a programmable ring Cycle
Period of 0.5 ms, 1 ms, or 2 ms depending on the number of axes and a
ring Data Rate of 4 or 8 Mbaud.

• RSLogix 5000 programming software provides complete axis

configuration and motion programming support.
