About the Modicon LMC058 Motion Controller

Overview

The Schneider Electric Modicon LMC058 Motion Controller is a controller with a variety of features.

This controller is the optimized solution for axis positioning with the EcoStruxure Machine Expert software platform, which includes embedded automation functions and an ergonomic interface for axis configuration. Combined with Lexium servo drives or Lexium SD3 Stepper drives, this lets you design and commission your applications.

The Software configuration is described in the EcoStruxure Machine Expert Programming Guide.
