MOVI-C CONTROLLER

MOVI-C CONTROLLER is SEW-EURODRIVE's motion and automation controller family for coordinated axes, robotics and machine automation. Its performance classes connect to higher-level fieldbus systems and to lower-level drives over EtherCAT/SBusPLUS, with MOVIKIT modules for positioning, synchronization, kinematics and robotics.

About

About MOVI-C CONTROLLER

MOVI-C CONTROLLER is SEW-EURODRIVE's scalable motion and automation controller family for coordinated drives, robotics and machine control. It connects to lower-level drives through clock-synchronous EtherCAT/SBusPLUS and to higher-level systems through protocols including PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP. MOVISUITE and MOVIRUN provide configuration and IEC 61131-3 programming paths.

Standard, advanced, progressive and power performance classes scale from small two-axis applications to the published high-end configuration with 32 interpolating and 32 auxiliary axes. MOVIKIT software modules add positioning, synchronization, anti-oscillation, load distribution, kinematics and robotics functions. This is a controller family, not a servo-drive module, so its subtype has been corrected accordingly.
