1.5 Axis Servo Drive

 

FM control modules provide EN drives with “snap-on” functionality for Indexing (FM-2), Programming (FM-3E), and Advanced Programming (FM-4E). This modular approach allows users to choose the level of advanced machine control they need, based on the applications requirements and suporting scalability and our "buy what you need" philosophy. For applications requiring traditional multi-axis control, our MC controller is easily integrated with a single cable connection. These modules are programmed using the our PowerTools Pro software.
 

FM Modules

FM-2 Indexing Module

The FM-2 module enhances EN drives by adding positioning capability including Jog, Home, Index functions including Position Tracker™ – Fieldbus Indexing. The FM-2 also includes additional I /O providing 8 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs.

Operating information is set up via our free configuration software PowerTools Pro. The FM-2 is designed to be extremely easy to set up and run. This saves time and money during installation and also makes long term support a breeze. For any simple point to point motion application, the FM-2 indexer is the right choice.

FM-2 Application Examples Clutch-brake replacement Extend-retract arm Indexing table Indexing conveyor

 

FM-3E Programing Module

The FM-3E Ethernet module transforms the EN into a fully programmable single-axis motion controller, and adds 8 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs. Profibus (FM-3PB) and DeviceNet (FM-3DN) options are also available.

The FM-3E Ethernet Programming Module allows the user to create programs to sequence motion, I/O control, and other machine operations in one environment. These programs used in conjunction with the Assignments or “virtual wiring” feature, provide the user with a powerful and easy-to-use programming environment.

With removable terminal block connectors for I/O and a pluggable sync cable for master encoder connections, setup of the FM-3E hardware is quick and clean. For diagnostics, the LCD keypad display on the front of the module gives the user a quick and handy way to change parameters, monitor feedback parameters, check module and drive revisions, change baud rates, view I/O states, and much more.

Other versions of the FM-3; Profibus (FM-3PB) and DeviceNet (FM-3DN) options are also available.

FM-4E Advanced Programing Module

The FM-4E Advanced Programming module has taken all of the features and flexibility of the FM-3E, and added the ability to create complex motion profiles for sophisticated applications that are easy to set up with our intuitive PowerTools Pro software.

The FM-4E adds versatility and extends functionality by including high speed data capture, summation of multiple motion profiles, position capture object, queuing, multiple profile summation, program multi-tasking, and an array of parameters suitable for even the toughest applications.

The FM-4E module is the perfect solution for applications with complex motion profiles such as a random infeed conveyor, rotary knife, or high speed labeling machine. Using the same software as the FM-3E, PowerTools Pro makes programming the FM-4E quick and easy.

Other versions of the FM-4; Profibus (FM-4PB) and DeviceNet (FM-4DN) options are also available.
