MotionWorks IEC software is fully compatible with the global programming standards specified by IEC61131-3 and PLCopen. Yaskawa’s MP2300Siec controller features EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, and Mechatrolink network connectivity for up to 16 axis of motion control.
The IEC61131-3 programming standard delivers a competitive advantage to machine builders by offering the best of several languages in one development package including function block, ladder program, and structured text. MotionWorks IEC software also incorporates PLCopen function blocks for motion control. These standard, reusable code libraries store previously written logic that will significantly reduce development time and improve code quality. End-users will appreciate the familiar behavior and functionality common among many IEC61131-3 platforms. An integrated Web server makes maintenance and troubleshooting easier because no software is required.
The 2.5-inch wide MP2300Siec controller packs in an Ethernet connection with EtherNet/IP scanner/adapter functionality and Modbus TCP/IP master/slave. The MP2300Siec implements Mechatrolink high-speed, digital network for tightly integrated motion and I/O even when complex motion such as camming or gearing functions are required.
In 1967, Yaskawa Electric America, Inc., a U. S. corporation, was created to provide automation solutions and support to customers in North and South America. Established in 1915, Yaskawa Electric Corporation is a leading manufacturer of Mechatronics products including variable speed AC drives, servos, machine controllers, and robots. Yaskawa holds international quality excellence awards, including the prestigious Deming Application Prize and its products are manufactured in ISO-9001:2000 registered facilities.
Suitable for Many Applications
The major benefits of Sigma-5, such as precise and fast positioning, highest machine speed, vibration-less motion, and smooth operation make Sigma-5 ideal for machines in the fields of electronics, semiconductor, packaging, printing, and machine tools. The new Sigma-5 generation will also be a perfect match for the injection molding and metal forming industries, where high throughput and point-to-point positioning are decisive issues.
