Motion controller MP2310iec features modular expansion

For example, the motion controller can be equipped with communication modules for super-ordinate control units (Siemens) or for various bus systems. It can also be expanded using additional counter, I/O or positioning modules.

There are presently on offer nine different option modules. The motion controller programming is based on the international IEC61131-3 standard, so that all automation functions planned and programmed on this basis are interchangeable.

Pre-programmed software components from standard libraries help to shorten the time required for planning and putting (it) into operation. Together with its MotionWorks IEC design environment Yaskawa is providing a large number of PLCopen building blocks that ease efficient and standards-based planning and programming.

The MP2310iec is available in 4, 8, and 16 axes all comprising EtherNet/IP, Modbus/TCP and web server diagnostics. Users can select from up to three of 8 local I/O modules for the three open slots, and expanded I/O can be attained through EtherNet/IP, Modbus/TCP, and/or the Yaskawa MECHATROLINK-II network I/O modules from third parties.

Typical applications for this controller are random rotary placer, rotary table indexer, conveyor, winder, screw feeder, extrusion and precision grinder.
