Increase precision,accuracy and speedExpand the standard functionality of a VLT AutomationDrive with effi ciency enhancing motion control options.

Increase productivity& performanceReplacing mechanical controls with

intelligent, energy saving electronic

solutions is an effective way to reduce

both installation and daily running

costs.

The ability to set and control the

packaging application with greaterprecision also reduces packaging

errors and equipment breakdowns.

The result is a reliable, high quality

process that increases both produc-

tivity and bottom line performance.

Reduce installation costsSometimes the installation of an

electronic control option can make

mechanical controls redundant,

which reduces installation costs. For

example, electronic cam control, a

standard feature in the VLT Motion

Control Option MCO 305, both adds

new functionalities and removes the

need for mechanical cam disks andboxes.

Increase capacityIn other cases manufacturers might

want to increase the capacity of their

packaging application. This can be

achieved with the VLT Position

Controller MCO 351, which offers

unparalleled position control and can

be set up easily via the user-friendly

control panel on the VLT Automa-

tionDrive.

While increasing the performance the

controller adds extra value by being

an intelligent way to simplify the

control system.

No matter which option you choose

the benefits of freedom of control

and operational effi ciency will

provide a fast return on your invest-

ment.

Benefits of electroniccam control: Increased exibility, as cam profiles

are easily modified

Cost reduction,

fewer mechanical parts

Fast and easy design and modifi-

cation of curves via user friendly

graphical cam editor Fast and easy commissioning: cam

profiles can be modified during

commissioning

Reduced maintenance costs owing

to fewer mechanical parts

Reduced machine size

Limited jerk function

Electronic cam control is a standard

feature in VLT Motion Control Option

for VLT AutomationDrive.

With several thousand interpolation

points and a high resolution cam

profile, very accurate cam control is

obtained.

This function is adaptable to most

cam applications because of multiplecam profiles, selectable coupling/

decoupling behaviour and on-line

marker correction.

Electronic cam function offers exibilityReplace mechanical cam disks and boxes with electronic cam control.

In such cases the drive becomes an in-

telligent stand-alone control system.

Transition between multiple opera-

tion modes: Speed control, synchro-

nising, positioning and cam control is

easy.

Benefits: Easier installation due to less wiring

Fewer sources of error, adding to

robustness and reliability

Greater exibility for the design of

sophisticated applications

Savings on panel space and instal-

lation costs (using the fieldbus

option, communication wiring is

much simpler)

PLC functionality built inRelease the load on the PLC or even make it redundant.

They are based on a range of well considered and innovative features:

VLT Position Controller precise hit every time

Easy commissioningThe VLT Position Controller is user-

friendly, enabling set-up of all para-

meters via the VLT AutomationDrive

Local Control Panel or via the VLT

Software Tool.

Control and monitoring is done via

digital inputs/outputs or fieldbus.

with fixed functional properties, no

additional application programming

is required.

Controlling a variatyof applicationsThe VLT Position Controller can

handle most positioning applications

with vertical as well as horizontal

movements.

Likewise, most servo applica-tions can be controlled by the VLT

AutomationDrive with a VLT Position

Controller.

The option is, however, mainly suited

to applications with an overall control

system, for example a PLC.
