24VDC Fieldbus

SMC offers several fieldbus protocol enabled controllers for LE’s 24VDC step motor actuators. Single axis direct input controllers are available for Ethernet/IP and CC-Link. Also, there is a 4-axis controller with Ethernet/IP capability. A gateway device offers network access using CC-Link DeviceNet, Profibus or Ethernet/IP protocol as well. The gateway can connect up to 12 RS485 serial controllers, including both the LECP6 for step motors and the LECA6 servo motors.

LECPMJ

The LECPMJ is a controller for LE’s 24VDC step motors, compatible with CC-Link v1.10 fieldbus. Fieldbus compatibility permits position and speed monitoring by the PLC, as well as step data entry. Up to 42 controllers can be connected, depending on the parameter definition mode desired at the PLC. Up to 64 motion control step data can also be set by laptop software or a teaching pendant.

LEC-G

LEC-G is a Fieldbus-compatible Gateway (GW) unit for electric actuators. Protocols include CC-Link Ver. 2.0, DeviceNet™, PROFIBUS DP, and EtherNet/IP™. Cables and branch connectors are available for connecting up to 12 controllers, depending on the selected protocol.

JXC*1 with Fieldbus - Incremental Encoders

The JXC*1 is a single axis controller for LE's 24VDC step motors compatible with several fieldbus protocols including Ethernet/IP™ fieldbus. Actuator motors can be operated by calling a line of step data or by direct numerical instruction, each possible over the network. Futher fieldbus compatible functions include return to origin, alarm outputs and resets, parameter setup, status monitoring, and trial runs.

JXC*1 with Fieldbus - Absolute Encoders

The JXC*1 is a single axis controller for LE's 24VDC step motors with absolute encoders compatible with several fieldbus protocols including Ethernet/IP™ fieldbus. Actuator motors can be operated by calling a line of step data or by direct numerical instruction, each possible over the network. Futher fieldbus compatible functions include return to origin, alarm outputs and resets, parameter setup, status monitoring, and trial runs.

JXC73/83/93

The JXC73/83/93 is a 4-axis controller for LE's 24VDC step motors. Four electric actuators can be controlled within one package, simplifying wiring and economizing space. Further, the coordination of complex movements has been added. These movements include 2-axis arc or circular interpolation, 3-axis linear interpolation, and 4-axis synchronous positioning. A PLC interfaces with this controller over two 40-pin parallel I/O cables. A call to one line of step data can include force and movement instructions for up to four axes. Typical applications include pick and place sorting or filling, synchronous lifting while maintaining orientation and stability, and non-linear path tracing for graphics production or dispensing.

JXC92

The JXC92 is a 3-axis controller for LE's 24VDC step motors, compatible with EtherNet/IP™ fieldbus. Three electric actuators can be controlled within one package, simplifying wiring and economizing space. Further, the coordination of complex movements has been added. These movements include 2-axis arc or circular interpolation, and 3-axis linear interpolation, along with speed tuning control. A call to one line of step data can include force and movement instructions for up to three axes. Typical applications include pick and place sorting or filling, lifting, and non-linear path tracing for graphics production or dispensing.
