Harnessing over two decades of expertise in motion control, Leadshine introduces the MC500 Series EtherCAT bus PLC. Engineered for excellence, the MC500 PLC amalgamates multiple communication interfaces, high-speed motion control, robust expansion capabilities, and secure information transmission.
The adoption of EtherCAT bus technology mirrors the progressive trends in industrial control, facilitating precise and rapid motion control processes. The MC500 ensures enhanced communication stability between the PLC and modules through thickened gold plating and a biplate clamping design, ensuring reliability.
Featuring a 100MB high-speed backplane bus, the MC500 supports up to 32 IO modules, enabling seamless integration into existing systems and reducing assembly time with vertical module insertion and extraction.
The versatile three-axis platform supports linear, arc, and continuous interpolation, catering to various applications such as screw locking, dispensing, welding, loading, and unloading.
The inclusion of flying and chasing shear functions enables high-speed synchronous electronic cam control, suitable for applications like filling, labeling, cutting, die-cutting, pillow packaging, and printing.
Equipped with a dual-core SOC+FPGA high-speed processor, the MC500 offers ample programme and data capacity, ensuring robust arithmetic capabilities for complex tasks. The operation control instruction library, based on PLCopen standards, provides a standardised programming environment, enhancing efficiency in equipment development.
The software offers comprehensive capabilities, including:
- Utilisation of IEC standard programming language
- Compatibility with self-developed function libraries
- Support for various protocols such as EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, CANopen, Modbus, etc.
- Direct utilisation of Process libraries
- Support for configured local high-speed inputs and outputs
- Establishment of a standard programming environment based on Codesys, significantly improving programming efficiency and reducing development time.
