Introducing the MMC120
MMC120 Overview
The MMC120 Motion Control Module is a complete two-axis position control subsystem
for the Modicon TSX Quantum Automation Series® family of Programmable
Controllers. An onboard processor controls the axes, providing complete independent
PID motion control loops and allowing on-the-fly motion profile changes. The module
has two optically isolated magnetostrictive transducer interfaces and two optically
isolated ±10 volt outputs.
The MMC120 occupies one slot of the Quantum rack. The MMC120 and the
Programmable Controller communicate over the back plane through four output and four
input registers. The MMC120 relieves the Programmable Controller of the overhead
needed for servo control. The MMC120 updates the axis position and drive output 1024
times each second, assuring precise positioning even at high speeds.
If more than two axes of control are needed, additional MMC120 modules can be
installed.
