The MMC Standalone Smart Drive series includes two standalone drive variants: an analog-interfaced version that accepts motion commands through a ±10 V analog input and a digital-interfaced version that receives commands over a Digital Link connection.
The lineup spans 230 VAC single-phase models rated from 0.5 to 2 kW and 460 VAC three-phase models rated from about 1.3 kW up to 65 kW, covering small to high-power single-axis applications. Setup and servicing are supported through a PiCPro programming interface via a serial communications port, and the drive firmware is stored in user-upgradeable flash memory. Standard hardware features include an internal switch for controlling a mechanical brake, front-panel Power/Diagnostic LEDs, support for encoder or resolver motor feedback, and general-purpose 24 VDC I/O (eight inputs and four outputs on the drive). For digital systems, an optional Drive Resident Digital MMC Control module can be installed to provide integrated machine/motion control and networking interfaces, and it can coordinate multi-axis systems by controlling anywhere from 1 to 16 MMC-SD digital drives depending on the control variant.
