Motion Control

The LS Electric XGB series controller is a motion control powerhouse. This PLC provides numerous motion control capabilities using the integrated 2- or 6-axis pulse/direction motion inputs/outputs (up to 200kHz) on select CPU modules, plus up to 4 channels of high-speed inputs at up to 500kHz on each high-speed counter module. If that's not enough, easily add up to 16 additional axes of motion control utilizing low-cost EtherCAT modules. With LS XGB PLC's advanced motion you get:

• 400 moves per axis
• Various single-axis operations: position control, speed control, feed control, multi-axis simultaneous start, and point operation
• Various multi-axis operations: circular arc interpolation, linear interpolation, helical interpolation, ellipse interpolation
• Switching control during operation: position/speed control switching, speed/position control switching, position/torque control switching
• CAM control: 8 types
• Seven homing methods: in positioning control, use homing method supported by each servo driver (17 types); set the origin of machine without homing by setting the floating origin
• Acceleration/deceleration methods: trapezoid or s-type
• High-speed start process: 1ms (1~2 axes), 2ms (3~5 axes), 3ms (6 axes); no delay time between axes in simultaneous start and interpolation start

LS Electric has several other motion control products that work together seamlessly to provide accurate positioning and precision movements. Build a complete LS Electric motion control solution using LS XGB PLCs, servo drives, and low-inertia AC brushless servo motors perfect for pick-and-place systems, flying cutoffs, rotary tables, or any other motion control application.

Additional Controller Options

---

We also have several other highly-capable controllers that offer many capabilities, including motion control. Although not as motion-focused as the LS XGB series, these controllers may still offer the exact control you're looking for.

PLC units starting at $199.00

BRX PLCs are also a leader in advanced motion control with embedded and expandable high-speed I/O and powerful motion-specific instructions that can tackle even the most complex, coordinated motion applications.

CPUs starting at $237.00

For basic motion control, simply add as many high-speed I/O modules to your Productivity PLC as you need. If you need more complex coordinated motion, the PS-AMC motion controller and the Productivity CPU are a dynamite combination.

CLICK PLUS CPUs starting at $97.00

Controlling a small system and need something a little less expansive? The CLICK PLUS PLC family is your answer. CLICK PLUS PLCs offer up to 3 axes of motion control with FREE easy-to-use software, all for an amazing price!
