Technosoft 8-Axis Motion Controller and Servo Drive in One Unit

The Technosoft TMC-3D combines a multi-axis motion controller and a digital servo drive in the same unit. Based on the MotionChip technology, TMC-3D controls (via CAN-bus) up to 8 Technosoft intelligent drives (including itself). Its embedded servo drive is suitable for DC, brushless and step motors up to 640 W (80 V, 8 A).

3-D and 2½-D coordinated motion paths are executed through TMC-3D and other two Technosoft drives, using PVT commands. The controller generates the 3-D and 21/2-D trajectories and sends the reference to the slaves as PVT (position, velocity, time) points. TMC-3D can be one of these drives that perform local 3rd order interpolation between PVT points.

The motion programming can be done using PC or PLC motion libraries, or directly at controller level with the EasyMotion Studio software. Complex motion applications can be programmed on TMC-3D using the TML language. It can perform predefined actions as: stopping the motion on all slaves in case of a node failure, or commanding different homing procedures and other motion profiles on each slave.
