MELSEC-Q Series
High-speed Synchronous Network SSCNETIII/H
- Communications speed is increased to 150 Mbps full duplex (equivalent to 300 Mbps half duplex), three times faster than the conventional speed.
System response is dramatically improved. - Smooth control of a machine is possible using high-speed serial communications with a cycle time of 0.222 ms.
- Synchronous communications are achieved with SSCNETIII/H, offering technical advantages for machines that require deterministic control.
- Long distance wiring is possible up to 3200 m (10498.69 ft.) per system (maximum of 100 m (328.08 ft.) between stations x control axes up to 32 axes), suitable for large-scale systems.
- SSCNETIII/H compatible and SSCNETIII compatible servo amplifiers can be used together.
(The communications speed when SSCNETIII compatible products are used together in the same system: 150 Mbps full duplex)
(Note): SSCNET (Servo System Controller Network)
Deterministic and Synchronized Communication
Complete deterministic and synchronized communication is achieved with SSCNETIII/H, offering technical advantages in machines such as printing and food processing machines that require synchronous accuracy.
Central Control with Network
Large amounts of servo data are exchanged in real-time between the controller and the servo amplifier. Using MELSOFT MR Configurator2 on a personal computer that is connected to the Simple Motion module QD77MS helps consolidate information such as parameter settings and monitoring for the multiple servo amplifiers.
No Transmission Collision
The fiber-optic cables thoroughly shut out noise that enters
from the power cable or external devices.
Noise tolerance is
dramatically improved as compared to metal cables.
Positioning Control
- To respond to various application needs, the Simple Motion module offers various control methods, such as linear interpolation, 2-axis circular interpolation, fixed-pitch feed, and continuous path control.
- Automatic operation can be executed easily by setting positioning addresses, speeds, and other setting items in a sequence program.
- Powerful sub-functions, such as M-code output, skip, speed change, and target position change functions, are available.
Advanced Synchronous Control
Synchronous control can be easily achieved with software by placing mechanical modules on screen, such as the gear, shaft, speed change gear and cam.
- The Synchronous control is easily performed with parameter settings. There is no need to create complicated programs.
- Synchronous control is started/stopped on axis-by-axis basis. The synchronous control axis and positioning control axis can exist together in a program.
- The movement amount of main shaft is transmitted to the output axis via the clutch.
Cam Control
Various cam pattern can be easily created.
- Cam control has become more flexible. Various cam patterns are available.
- You can set the stroke, speed, acceleration and throb while simultaneously checking the profile on a graph.
- The created cam data are easily viewed as thumbnails.
- Cam data is imported and exported in CSV format.
Control Flow
The start of positioning operation by the Simple Motion module is programmed in PLC CPU.
The Simple Motion module starts operation from the designated positioning data No. and continues operation until the operation
pattern ends.
High Compatibility with the Previous Models
The Positioning module (QD75MH) projects and sequence
programs are easily diverted to the Simple Motion
module (QD77MS/LD77MS).
The replacement to QD77MS/LD77MS is easily completed
without replacing the prior model of servo amplifier.
