Introduction

MachineMotion v2 datasheet contains detailed technical specifications, such as: functional pinout, input & outputs, specifications, input / output capabilities by model, electronics & embedded software specifications and unit dimensions.

Overview

MachineMotion v2 is a plug and play industrial controller that contains the necessary infrastructure to execute motion and control applications through a library of modular components. Equipment powered by MachineMotion v2 can be programmed through MachineLogic – Vention’s code-free visual sequence editor – or through Vention’s Python SDK.

Features

  • Control up to four 250 W high performance step-servos with accurate and automatic position adjustments. This allows the actuator to always reach the user-specified position, thanks to a built-in encoder that enables the motors to operate in closed control loops.
  • Step-servo junction box with simple cabling, where the brake, home and end-stop sensors can be directly wired to the motor.
  • Status light on servo motors and controller for quick diagnostics
  • Loaded with code-free software including:
    • Control Center
    • MachineLogic
    • Python
  • Open source development tools including:
    • Cloud 9 IDE
    • Javascript
    • Operator mode
    • Manual joggers
  • The MachineMotion v2 controller is certified to Canadian, US & European standards.
  • IP30 rated enclosure for industrial applications, with active cooling and replaceable filters
  • Connect digital I/O and analog modules to control I/O devices
  • Single continuous flex cable to power an actuator, sensors and power-off brake
  • Plug and play with all Vention actuators
  • Native support for Universal Robots with URcap
  • Plug and play safety system with physical and software reset
  • Directly connect peripherals locally or remotely using the teach pendant, keyboard, mouse, and monitor

Applications

  • Automated equipment
  • Cartesian robot
  • Functional and reliability test benches
  • Conveyor system
  • Inspection cells
