Product Description:
The MX2000-8 is a programmable motion controller produced by Kollmorgen within the MX2000 Motion Controllers series. The unit coordinates multi-axis positioning, timing, and I/O handling for automated machinery, acting as the central command layer between higher-level PLCs and servo or stepper drives in packaging, dispensing, and light machining equipment. Application code resides in 126 kbytes of battery-backed user memory, so stored sequences, motion routines, and machine logic remain available after power is removed. This arrangement lets motion control and machine sequencing stay in one platform for coordinated machine behavior.
The controller manages up to 352 I/O points, letting a single rack monitor sensors and drive actuators across a fairly dense machine layout. Its runtime kernel executes 7 concurrent tasks, and program hierarchies can descend through 16 subroutine levels for structured control logic when motion, alarms, and process events must run in parallel. For host links, there are 2 serial ports that operate at up to 38 kbaud, supporting ASCII protocols for devices that exchange simple command and status data. The chassis occupies 19.0 x 10.63 x 7.54 in of panel space, permitting side-by-side mounting inside standard cabinets. Operation is supported at altitudes up to 3048 m, and relative humidity may reach 95 percent non-condensing without derating.
In motion applications, the MX2000-8 captures position feedback through a 2 MHz encoder input rate, and it produces step pulses at the same frequency for high-resolution stepper axes that require fast command updates. Sensor conditioning is handled by 16 analog inputs, allowing direct connection of potentiometers, load cells, and other scaled feedback sources within the control system. Machine signals also include eight differential analog outputs and up to 32 trigger inputs for edge-based event capture, which helps the controller react to fast external events during indexing or synchronized moves. Installation is simplified because the housing weighs just 12.0 lb, so the controller can mount on shelves or DIN brackets without additional supports.
