This highly scalable controller offers simple integration with systems based on the Kollmorgen Automation Suite as well as with third-party devices, bringing new capabilities and greatly increased performance to everything from standalone machines to complex, modular automation systems.

Leading performance
Kollmorgen’s new controller is based on a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor that delivers industry-leading cycle times. It is designed to support everything from small, simple machine modules to high-complexity automation environments with up to 64 axes of synchronized path motion, including S-curve and other complex moves.

The PCMM2G controller also includes 8 GB of internal flash memory, six digital inputs, two digital outputs, integral functional safety modules and an onboard human-machine interface panel.

Seamless integration
100BASE-T connectivity supports UDP, HTTP, Modbus®, Ethernet/IP and PROFINET® for fast integration with most systems. Dual Ethernet ports allow system configuration while connected to an industrial network. An uninterruptible real-time clock with battery backup, plus support for an external time-keeping server via network time protocol (NTP), ensures precise timing and synchronization across all axes.

Simple usability
Plug-and-play capabilities with Kollmorgen Automation Suite and third-party systems ensure easy setup. Integrated tools simplify and speed network configuration, servo tuning and machine optimization. Support for file management and backup/restore is provided through a USB slot to accommodate removable flash drives.

When employed as part of the full Kollmorgen Automation Suite, the PCMM2G controller offers the additional benefits of simplified inventory, reduced setup time, consolidated software, and the confidence of having one trusted automation supplier with fully integrated components and complete system validation.
