Fact Sheet VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302 with integrated motion controller – for positioning and synchronization applications Discover precision positioning and synchronization control in modern dance Perform high-precision positioning and synchronization, simply using an AC drive. With the Integrated Motion Controller (IMC) functionality, the VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302 replaces more complex positioning and synchronization controllers, to save time and cost. Positioning and synchronization operations are typically performed using a servo drive or a motion controller. However, many of these applications do not actually require the dynamic performance available from a servo drive. Encoderfree to save costs and reduce complexity Therefore the FC 302 with IMC is a costeffective, high-performance alternative to servo in single-axis positioning and synchronizing applications. Use IMC for many applications that have been solved with servo drives until now, such as: Rotary tables Cutting machines Packaging machines Use FC 302 to run an induction or PM motor with or without motor feedback – with no need for additional hardware. With sensorless control (no motor feedback) best performance is achieved with a PM motor. The performance of sensorless control of induction motors is however sufficient for less-demanding applications. With IMC you save time and cost: No advanced programming and fewer components means fewer hours needed for engineering, installation and commissioning Save further cost for a feedback device, cabling and installation by using sensorless control To save cost for a home sensor and cabling, use the “homing on torque limit” function The IMC solution provides easy and safe set-up: Configuration via parameters, with no advanced programming required. Reduced complexity will minimize the risk of errors To add more functionality, use the Smart Logic Controller (SLC), which is fully compatible with IMC To realign the home position during operation, use the “home synchronizing” function Feature Motion control functionality integrated into the AC drive No encoder and no encoder wiring required No servo drive required Configuration via parameters Home synchronizing – Renewal of calibration on every cycle Homing on torque limit – No sensor required Benefit – Save cost and time for extra components – Lower purchase cost due to fewer components – More robust installation – Reduced electrical and mechanical installation time – Easier and faster set-up – No advanced programming required – Lower purchase cost – Achieve a safe result – Save time – Avoid complexity – Minimize risk of errors associated with advanced programming – H igh level of accuracy maintained continuously in systems with slip – Save purchase, installation and maintenance cost of extra equipment www.danfoss.com/imc
