Product Description:
The MCSE16-0808-000 is a multi-axis motion controller produced by Kollmorgen within the MC Servostar Servo Drives series. The unit supervises up to 16 servo axes, issuing deterministic setpoints to individual drives so coordinated paths, electronic gearing, or cut-to-length sequences can run without PLC intervention. It acts as the central real-time layer between factory supervisory software and the drive amplifiers, using an integrated communication stack to distribute position and velocity commands throughout an automation cell. This arrangement allows multiple machines or motion stages to follow a common timing reference while the controller manages complex relationships among the connected axes.
Its primary field network is SERCOS, a fiber-optic ring that transmits synchronized position words with jitter below a microsecond. Motion and logic calculations are handled by a 133 MHz embedded processor based on the 5x86 architecture, providing sufficient processing capacity for camming tables and look-ahead profiles. Machine status is read through 23 isolated digital inputs that tolerate potential differences between the controller and sensors. Actuator commands are issued through 20 isolated digital outputs that can sink or source field voltages without sharing a common ground. Two optical links close the SERCOS loop and can provide separate paths when the plant layout requires ring segmentation.
An onboard Ethernet interface operates at 10 Mbit/s for recipe transfers and remote diagnostics, leaving deterministic motion traffic on the optical bus unaffected. Legacy serial equipment can be integrated through 2 RS-232 ports, and two card slots allow specialized I/O or fieldbus boards to be added without enlarging the enclosure. The real-time kernel schedules up to 256 concurrent tasks and assigns each task to one of 16 priority levels. User programs and system software reside on an 8 MB flash disk, while working data are held in 8 MB of RAM. This memory arrangement supports predictable cycle times when the controller processes complex interpolation routines and simultaneous logic operations.
