Simple motion

Simple motion module for positioning control and synchronous control

Advanced control but simple use

Speed/torque control and synchronous control are supported in addition to the traditional positioning control. Using the “simple motion module setting tool”, operations such as positioning setting, monitoring and debugging can be performed easily. In addition, data synchronized with the motion controller can be collected and displayed in waveform.

Simple motion module

  • CC-Link IE Field Network connection type
    • QD77GF4
    • QD77GF8
    • QD77GF16

The simple motion module supports the general purpose CC-Link IE Field Network, with its flexible wiring. This module can be used as the CC-Link IE Field's master station*1 while retaining the simple motion module's functions. This realizes flexible networking supporting connection to various devices such as GOT(HMI), remote I/O, inverter, etc.

  • *1.QD77GF4, QD77GF8, QD77GF16 master station transmission style can use the line type or star type. Up to 104 remote devices can be connected to one network.
  • *2.The setting and diagnosis function using GX Works2 is disabled.

Simple motion module

  • SSCNETⅢ/H connection type
    • QD77MS2
    • QD77MS4
    • QD77MS16

The SSCNETⅢ/H connection reduces wiring, enables connections of up to 100 m between stations, and easily supports absolute position settings. The upper limit LS, lower limit LS, and near-point dog signals can be input from the servo amplifier, thus greatly reducing wiring. In addition to positioning control and speed control, processes such as synchronous control and electronic cam control can be performed.
