PCMM: Programmable Controller, Multi-axis Master
Our PCMM controller delivers maximum performance from an embedded controller, capable of running small, machine modules, to complete 20+ axes machines and I/O. It packs a powerful PLC, Motion Controller, and EtherCAT master into a small package.
*PCMM is not available for new applications. We recommend the PCMM2G for new designs.
Features
- Kollmorgen Automation Suite™ provides fully integrated programming, testing, setup and commissioning
- Embedded web server utility simplifies service
- Control 20 axes or more* while reducing machine footprint:
- EtherCAT multi-axis master and motion controller
- Full IEC61131-3 soft PLC for machine control, with support for all 5 programming languages
- Choice of PLCopen for motion or Pipe Network™ for programming motion control
- 32 kB non-volatile memory stores machine data to eliminate scrap upon restart after power failure
- SD Card slot simplifies backup and commissioning, with no PC required
- Onboard I/O includes 6 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs. Additional system I/O can be added with the AKT series of remote I/O
- Works with Kollmorgen Visualization Builder™ for programming AKI human-machine interface panels
- Enables plug-and-play compatibility with all Kollmorgen servo drives and servo motors
- Provides access to all the advantages of Kollmorgen´s breadth of motor platforms including AKM®, CDDR™, and other direct-drive technologies
* Maximum axis count depends on motion/automation complexity and performance (20 or more axis possible for low complexity machine at 1 kHz network update rate, 8 axes based on medium complexity machine at 4 kHz network update rate,)
Benefits
- Reduce panel space, wiring costs and build time with an embedded multi-axis programmable machine and motion controller or use the integrated AKD-PDMM for even more space savings
- Accelerate design time and simplify integration by using a single, scalable development environment to program PCMM™ or AKD PDMM®
- Minimize risk and maximize performance with our industry-leading AKD drive hardware integrated with the proven architecture of Kollmorgen Automation Suite
- Deliver advanced features in a higher-performing machine with the advantages of Pipe Network™ and Kollmorgen co-engineering capabilities
- Control multiple high-performance servo axes without the need for a separate controller, saving cabinet space and wiring costs
- Build a complete system with optimal performance using drives, motors, I/O modules, HMI panels and other components designed to work together
