About the Modicon M262 Logic/Motion Controller
M262 Logic/Motion Controller Description
The M262 Logic/Motion Controller has various powerful features and can service a wide range of applications.
Software configuration, programming, and commissioning are accomplished with the EcoStruxure Machine Expert software version 1.1 or later, described in detail in the EcoStruxure Machine Expert Programming Guide as well as the present document.
The M262 Logic/Motion Controller is configured and programmed with the EcoStruxure Machine Expert software, which supports the following IEC 61131-3 programming languages:
oST: Structured Text
oFBD: Function Block Diagram
oSFC: Sequential Function Chart
EcoStruxure Machine Expert software can also be used to program these controllers using CFC (Continuous Function Chart) language.
The power supply of the M262 Logic/Motion Controller is 24 Vdc.
The M262 Logic/Motion Controller includes a Real Time Clock (RTC) system.
The system time is maintained by capacitors when the power is off. The time is maintained for 1 000 hours when the controller is not supplied.
The M262 Logic/Motion Controller can be operated externally by the following:
oA hardware Run/Stop switch.
oA Run/Stop operation by a dedicated digital input, defined in the software configuration. For more information, refer to Configuration of Digital Inputs.
oAn EcoStruxure Machine Expert software command.
oThe system variable PLC_W in a Relocation Table.
oThe Web server.
