M100 Motion

With the “M100 Motion”, Bachmann addresses the growing demands in mechanical engineering.

Bachmann electronic is introducing a new solution for drive technology: With M100 Motion, Bachmann addresses the growing demands on modern mechanical engineering drive technologies — from individual customer requirements to specific regulations. The new package enables the rapid implementation of system-specific motion sequences, as well as diagnostics and monitoring.

The new M100 series package offers controller-driven positioning for individual axes. Via an electronic gear, it allows the synchronization of multiple drives in various operating modes. Optimized motion profiles ensure high production cycles, while minimizing wear on mechanical components.

Functionalities in accordance with PLCopen Motion Control Part 1 (V2.0) are available to users as libraries for IEC 61131-3 and C and C++. They are integrated directly into the higher-level sequence program. M100 Motion supports EtherCAT fieldbus drives according to IEC 61800 and Profile Type 1 / CiA402, as well as drives with analog interfaces.

The M100 Motion Engineering Tool facilitates the easy integration of drives from any manufacturer. With this intuitive tool, the motion system axes can be configured and parameterized. It can also be used to define and execute homing procedures and motion profiles.

Bachmann is already looking to continuously expand the motion functions. Camming and multi-axis CNC functions for complex motion sequences are slated to follow.
