High flexibility
thanks to the connection to common control systems and distributed display options within the machine.
Security options
As of MOVISUITE® V2.40, the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER supports security options
Time saving
thanks to quick and easy commissioning, even without an engineering PC. You only need one software for creating applications and visualizations.
Scalability
thanks to a flexible machine and system topology
The new members of the MOVI-C® controller family – UHX15A and UHX86A – expand the performance spectrum and enable scalable implementation of a wide variety of applications. The UHX15A is specially designed for the lower performance segment and is ideal for simple applications with up to three inverters. The UHX86A, on the other hand, is a high-end motion controller in the upper performance segment. With its multi-purpose operating system, it offers maximum flexibility for demanding customer applications. Thanks to a wide range of fieldbus and network interfaces, the UHX86A enables communication with higher, lower, and parallel levels, thus meeting the requirements of modern Industry 4.0 and IoT applications. Both controllers are perfectly matched to the components of the MOVI-C® automation system and enable consistent, efficient system integration.
The MOVI‑C® modular automation system offers a consistent, unified platform for control cabinet controllers and decentralized controllers with similar functions and the same variety of interfaces.
The controllers from the MOVI‑C® modular automation system can be used for a wide range of motion control and automation tasks. They are connected to the higher-level controller of a machine cell or system using classic fieldbus slave interfaces for the PROFINET, EtherNet/IPTM or Modbus TCP fieldbus systems. As an EtherCAT®/SBusPLUS master, the controller is responsible for the seamless communication with the subordinate devices, e.g. MOVIDRIVE® or MOVIGEAR® performance, and their synchronous connection to the movement/application.
The added value in terms of reducing complexity comes from the integrated software of the centralized and decentralized controllers – parameterizing rather than programming. This software gives users more freedom to customize parameters while minimizing the programming effort.
Other advantages offered by our control technology include simple, central data storage and an auto-reload function for hardware replacement. Thus it is ensured that the automation technology in your production systems maintains a consistently high standard of reliability and availability.
All types of the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER have the following features in common:
* Number of axes subject to the size of the user program in MOVIRUN® flexible and without specification of the minimum cycle time (not hard limited)
All MOVI-C® CONTROLLERS can be used for both motion control tasks and automation control tasks. However, they are more suitable for certain tasks based on their performance. To simplify selection(*), the following table shows recommended areas of application according to controller type:
