MC Series 

MC Series - Motion Coordinator series for multi-axis motion control

The Motion Coordinator series of centralized controllers offer scalability, modularity and flexibility. Scalability is offered through the choice of two different base controllers, four different servo drive series and over 15 daughter board options.

All Motion Coordinators are programmed with Control Techniques' free MotionPerfect2 software. Modularity is offered by selecting only the daughter board required for your specific application. Finally, flexibility is offered by the controller’s ability to perform interpolated, point-to-point, camming and electronic gearing.

MC206X

2-7 Axis Control

The MC206X is a very capable all-in-one motion controller and integrates easily with Control Techniques scalable servo offering. The MC206X can coordinate 2-4 Control Techniques drives via encoder feedback, analog output. The MC206X comes standard with onboard I/O for high speed digital inputs, outputs, analog inputs, and an additional encoder reference signal.

The MC206X with a SERCOS Daughter Board can coordinate up to 7 SM-SERCOS equipped Unidrive SP drives. Capable also means, the MC206X is capable of Point to Point motion, Camming, Velocity, Torque, and Circular Interpolated motion all programmed using the simple and free MotionPerfect2 programming software.

MC224

Up to 24 Axis Control

The MC224 is a high performance controller capable of 24 axis of coordinated motion control when combined with Control Techniques scalable servo drive offering. The MC224 motion capabilities include circular interpolation, point to point, camming, electronic gearing and basic acceleration/deceleration s-ramp motion profiles.

The MC224 is a flexible and modular system which consists of base modules with option slots for flexible daughter board options. A large 16 axis system would consist of a MC224 base module and three expansion modules connected together each with up to 4 flexible daughter boards to fit your application needs.
