Motion control module

17 March 2010 Computer/Embedded Technology

Advantech’s ADAM-5202 is a two-port master motion control module, which is compatible with the company’s AMONet high-speed realtime motion network interface.

The device is the first distributed motion control module designed for use with ADAM-5550 series PACs (programmable automation controllers). With this master motion control module, the PAC series becomes a complete system for distributed motion control, suitable for high-end factory and machine automation tasks.

Equipped with two master rings, the ADAM-5202 can connect with up to 2048 I/O points and 64 axes for a versatile and long distance motion control application. The master ring can support up to 20 Mbps transfer rate and a maximum communication distance of up to 100 metres. The module is based on a customised RS485 solution that saves wires, covers a long distance, supports high-speed communication and has time-determining features. Instead of complex wiring and costs, ADAM-5202 can, through a distributed AMONet, connect to different devices with a simple RJ45 wire. The master collects information from slave modules and publishes the information to its host PC. It also allows the user to do an external expansion.

The ADAM-5202 also provides various accessories to support multibrand motors to avoid damage caused by incompatible motor connectivity.
