General Information
All synchronization controllers shown on this site operate according to the Master- Slave principle. Where the Master can freely move with any motion
profile under control of any remote speed reference, the synchronizer will control one or several Slaves to exactly follow the Master motion in terms of
position and speed.
The control is based on incremental position feedback by means of encoders on both sides. Many applications just use a measuring
wheel with encoder instead of a Master drive. It is possible to preset every speed or gear ratio by means of adjustable impulse scaling factors.
All units can accept marker pulses from the encoders and from remote proximity switches or photocells, to automatically produce the correct position with
pitch or cycle related applications. motrona synchronous controllers can operate with any kind of speed variable drives (AC- inverter, DC, Servo or
hydraulic type) that follow to a +/-10V speed reference signal. The extremely fast position control loop provides excellent performance even with highly
dynamic applications

BY340* and BY641:
Low-cost Synchronous Controllers for Synchronization
of one Follower Axis
|
|
- New series of compact synchronous controllers, built into a standard
DIN housing and designed for front panel mounting
- Since most affordable in price, these units are also suitable for use
with small machines and limited budgets.
- Full angular and positional control with adjustable gear rations and maximum
accuracy by 300 kHz of feedback frequency at a control loop cycle of only 250 µsec.
- Manual and automatic facilities to adjust the phase or relative position
between Master and Slave
- Easily operated by means of the front keys or the front thumbwheel switches,
or via PC and serial link.
- PROFIBUS communication is possible with use of the PB251 gateway
(see accessories)
- With use of SM300/SM600 brackets also suitable for DIN rail mounting
(see accessories)

MC700* Motion-Controller with Firmware BY701*:
Excellent
Multi-Drive Synchronization with Use of Physical or Virtual Master Axis
|
|
- MC700 is a universal motion controller for 1 to 4 axis, programmable for multiple motion applications by simple download of
the corresponding function firmware
(see “SUPPORT”).
- With use of our BY701 firmware this unit provides excellent solutions with all kinds of multi-axis synchronizing applications.
- Numerous possibilities for control of relative phase, position, index and print mark evaluation
- Optional operation modes with either a real physical master or an embedded virtual master axis and programmable master speed profiles
- Cascading output for extension to an unlimited number of follower axis
- The MC700 hardware is a black-box unit for cabinet mounting.
Remote control and communication facilities via external operator terminal, serial PC
communication, CANBUS, PROFIBUS etc. (see also Accessories)
