ACS MotionControl has introduced the MC4U
system to enable users to select subsystems of the controllers which
match their requirements exactly, while still maintaining the benefits
associated with using their integrated units.
The MC4U (Machine Control for You) modular system is designed to
provide a full solution for applications that require high performance,
multi-axis machine and motion control. The MC4U includes up to 8 digital
universal drives and as a CAN open network master, it can control up to
an additional 64 distributed axes and I/O nodes. The MC4U free software
support package includes a rich set of powerful tools with full
simulation capabilities for easy setup, tuning, application program
development, debugging and diagnostics.
The Demand - Higher Throughput & Accuracy
at a Better Price
The machine automation world is highly diversified in its needs: user
requirements differ significantly, allowing very little product
standardisation. The market demand is for an integrated solution of
machine control that can be easily tailored to a specific application,
achieving higher throughput and accuracy at a better price.
The MC4U high performance control system integrates a selection from a
wide set of available components multi-axis controllers with networking
capabilities, universal drives and power supplies; providing complete
control of all machine automation functions (motion, logic, power and
data), resulting in shorter development cycle time, reduced risk and
lower costs.
Configured from a range of:
- Multifunctional
Controllers
- Universal
Motor Drives
- Power Supplies
- Compact
Enclosure
- Powerful
Software Package
The Market
High Performance Production, Test and Inspection Systems Developed for
production, test and inspection equipment, such as flat panel displays,
semiconductors, electronic assembly, general sub-micron automation and
medical applications, the MC4U is the first cost-effective and flexible
tailor-made solution that addresses all motion and machine control
needs of demanding machinery.
All in one solution:
- All in one inbuilt program control or interface with host computer
- High level ACS Programming Language or ladder programming
- No software purchasing nor ongoing support costs
- High
precision
- Axes
synchronisation
- Motion
and PLC
- High

Customer Benefits More Features for Less Money The MC4U cost-effective
approach takes into account the total cost of ownership:
- Lower cost
through integration The high level of integration eliminates many
common components.
- Reduced price
You pay for and get exactly what you need, without spending money on
unneeded premiums.
- Reduced
maintenance time and costs Failures are identified at the component
level. No need to replace the complete system. All components are
plug-in types and can easily be replaced without disconnecting motors
and I/Os. The system can be reactivated within minutes.
