Motion Control Solutions

Choice of platform ABB offers a wide range of motion control products to suit many different applications. Motion controllers are available in PCI format, as standalone units with USB, CANopen, serial and Ethernet interfaces and as intelligent programmable drives for use in single or multiaxis systems. For real-time Ethernet machine control see our e100 range We also offer IEC61131 programming and PLCopen motion on our AC500 PLC range.AC500 scalable and flexible PLC Versatile motion capabilities All of our machine controllers offer advanced motion control capability and can be up and running quickly thanks to the simplicity of ABB’s MINT programming language. MINT is a versatile, yet easy to use, Basic like programming language. A wide range of programmable motion types are supported, including trapezoidal, S-ramp, linear and circular interpolation, helical interpolation, electronic CAM, gearbox and flying shear. Machine logic, system networking and operator interfaces (HMI) can all be controlled under a single MINT application program. FREE MINT software tools and ActiveX components ActiveX components are supplied with the controllers, allow full motion and I/O sequencing to be performed on a host PC. Application programs can be written in popular visual programming languages such as Visual Basic™, Delphi and LabView. The motion controllers are complemented by a complete range of servo drives.
