MC4U Motion and Machine Controller

The MC4U Motion and Machine Controller is a unique modular complete solution that addresses the tailor-made, flexible machine and motion control needs of OEMs. The MC4U’s high performance, Lego-like system combines an EtherCAT controller (for MC4UNT) or drive controller (for MC4UDC), up to 8 universal motor drives, and power supplies with networking to provide a complete machine and motion control solution to demanding motion centric machine automation.

• 8 universal built-in drives and power supply
• Network upto 64 axes into a fully integrated solution with hundreds of I/Os
• Low Noise Linear Amplifier available
• Wide power range of motor drives – from 100W to 10kW
• Shorter lead time, development time, reduced risk, lower cost
• NanoPWMTM and PWMboostTM Technology, drives that deliver higher performance and higher power, at smaller size and at better price

When starting a motion controller project, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine the optimum motion controller for the job. They perform all necessary engineering calculations to make sure the motion controller performs as required, within customer specification, and without unnecessary cost.

This includes:

• Ensuring compatibility with the motor drive and available power
• Specifying the appropriate feedback device, encoder (incremental vs. absolute), resolver, etc.
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc.
• Ensuring all necessary accessories are also specified

When ordering a MC4U Motion and Machine Controller as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and accessories necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
