The MP3300iec machine controller makes automated equipment more responsive by boosting both processing speed and memory capacity. The MP3300iec can also utilize the MECHATROLINK-III motion network and take advantage of the new version’s improvements in cycle time and network connectivity. MotionWorks IEC version 3 software makes automation programming faster, easier, and more effective with features including support for PLCopen Part 4, a built-in cam editor, an HMI tagging tool, an enhanced logic analyzer, and other improvements. And, the VIPA SLIO remote I/O solution makes the addition of power and signal capability quicker and easier.
Both the MP3300, and SLIO work with full efficiency on EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP networks.
A capability built into the latest version of MotionWorks automatically configures VIPA SLIO modules that are added to the network, relieving programmers of the tedious task of manually entering a system’s I/O data into operating software. The processing speed of the MP3300iec is increased to nearly double the rate of the previous generation of processors, an improvement that is used to full advantage when paired with the added features built into the latest version of MotionWorks. That can result in a 50- to 100-percent improvement in network speeds.
