Modicon LMC058 Motion Controller hardware guide
The Schneider Electric Modicon LMC058 Motion Controller is a controller with a variety of powerful features. This controller is the optimized solution for axis positioning thanks to software with embedded automation functions and an ergonomic interface for axis configuration (EcoStruxure Machine Expert software). It can control a wide range of applications. Combined with Lexium servo drives or Lexium SD3 Stepper drives, this lets you easily design and commission your applications.
The EcoStruxure Machine Expert software compatible with the controller provides the following IEC61131-3 programming languages:
IL: Instruction List
ST: Structured Text
FBD: Function Block Diagram
SFC: Sequential Function Chart
LD: Ladder Diagram
EcoStruxure Machine Expert software can also be used to program the controller using CFC (Continuous Function Chart) language.
All controllers include:
CANopen Master
Encoder Master
Ethernet
Serial Line
Expert functions (counting, reflex outputs...)
Embedded I/Os
All controllers support up to 21 tasks with the following limits:
1 motion task synchronized with the CANmotion Master
4 cyclic tasks: one is configured by default (Mast)
1 freewheeling task
8 software event driven tasks
8 hardware event driven tasks
1 hardware event driven task CANmotion Master dedicated to motion device synchronization
