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.
MachineMotion 1 datasheet can be found in the ‘Documentation for Previous Product Versions’ at the bottom of this page
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
- Supports multiple external communication protocols including MQTT & EtherNet/IP
- Single continuous flex cable to power an actuator, sensors and power-off brake
- Plug and play with all Vention actuators
