Servo Amplifiers PMC SI6 and PMC SC6 with Safe Motion
December 3, 2024
Safe Motion, maximum machine output!
With drive-integrated Safe Motion, our servo amplifiers PMC SC6 and SI6 achieve safety up to Performance Level PL e, with all common motor feedback systems. This means you have a flexible, scalable safety solution by individually combining all the safety functions your application requires. Plant downtimes are reduced and, despite the different safety requirements of the machine components, maximum productivity is achieved. Using FSoE (FailSafe over EtherCAT), the Safe Motion solution is integrated into the machine’s safety concept, for example with the safe small controller PNOZmulti 2 as the control centre.
With Safe Motion within the drive, you save time, reduce errors and increase safety during set-up!
Precise, productive and flexible
Servo amplifier PMC SI6 multi-axis system
With the compact servo amplifiers PMC SI6, you have a scalable multi-axis solution, which is particularly suitable for use in large plant and machinery from four axes upwards. At a width of just 45 mm, you save valuable space in the control cabinet. The servo amplifiers are available as single and dual-axis controllers and are supplied via the power supply PMC PS6, which is available in two different power supply sizes. A scalable power supply is achieved thanks to the ability to operate several power supplies in parallel. An asymmetrical rated current load is possible when using dual-axis modules. This enables you to reduce type diversity and therefore stockholdings. The multi-axis system can be scaled to fit every application and can therefore be combined to form a powerful multi-axis system with a narrow width.
Servo amplifier PMC SC6 compact system
The servo amplifiers PMC SC6 represent an expandable stand-alone solution, which is ideal for use in compact plant and machinery with two to four axes. With a width of just 45 mm, you also have a space-saving solution for your control cabinet. The servo amplifiers have an integrated power supply and are available as single and dual-axis controllers as well as for asynchronous and synchronous servo motors. With the option of intermediate circuit connection, the servo amplifiers PMC SC6 use the energy generated by a drive as motor energy for a different drive and are therefore particularly energy efficient.
Compact, flexible and combinable drive controllers
With the servo amplifiers PMC SC6 and PMC SI6 you benefit from flexible, combinable drive controllers in a compact design. For six axes in the control cabinet you need an overall width of just 180 mm!
Fast commissioning of the PMC SI6 and PMC SC6 is achieved by means of the electronic motor nameplate, which provides all mechanically and electronically relevant motor data in digital form – easily and with safe parameter settings.
The drive controllers can be connected via the Ethernet-based communication protocols EtherCAT and PROFINET.
