11.1 Overview of Motion Control
This section describes the methods used for motion control and gives some examples of their
use.
11.1.1 Motion Control for the MP940
The MP940 Machine Controller provides fully integrated sequence control and motion con-
trol.
Connected to the SGDH- †† AE SERVOPACK via the shared memory bus, the MP940
one-axis controller achieves not only simple positioning, but also high-speed and highly
accurate synchronous control.
The following figure shows a conceptual diagram of the MP940 system.
11.1.2 Motion Control Methods
By using MP940 Modules, motions for a wide variety of applications can be controlled.
There are two programming methods for controlling motions: Ladder logic programs and
motion programs.
An overview of each programming method is given below.
