Product Description:
The B&R HCMAC1-0 MAESTRO is a high-performance single-axis controller. It is intended for high-speed industrial automation and position control applications. In tiny applications the HCMAC1-0 provides accurate responsiveness and precise feedback. This controller guarantees dependable integration with CNC and robotic systems.
The B&R's HCMAC1-0 MAESTRO belongs to the series of HCM Maestro PLC Modules. The controller supports incremental and absolute encoders. It uses a high encoder frequency of 2.8 MHz and a 32-bit resolution. The controller contains a digital filter to handle incremental encoder input. The encoder supply voltage can be adjusted from 5 to 24 VDC. It delivers dependable performance in servo driving and robotic applications. The controller has six digital inputs for versatile configuration. Two inputs support 24 VDC and have a reaction time of 1 msec. Three more 24 VDC inputs provide a 10 msec response. One input supports 5 or 24 VDC and triggers in 15 µsec. It has three relay outputs rated at 24 VDC or VAC and a 1 A current limit. The analog input ranges from 0 to 10 V with a 10-bit resolution. The 16-bit DAC allows for fine changes to the analog output, which supports ±10 V. The set value resolution is roughly 0.3 mV across the range. The control loop can be switched between P and PI modes based on the requirements. Its high feedback accuracy makes it suitable for gantry and robotic positioning systems. The module works seamlessly with industrial hardware platforms. It weighs about 0.57 kg and allows for easy module installation.
The HCMAC1-0 MAESTRO controller is excellent for complex industrial motion control. B&R delivers dependable components for heavy-duty automation systems. HCMAC1-0 ensures accurate linear movement during assembly procedures. Real-time precision can be achieved with a scan time of 2 ms. It works with CNC machines, servo drives, and robotic arm positions. This controller provides performance for dynamic one-axis layouts.
