Acim Nidec MCi210 Integrated Machine Controllers

What is the Acim Nidec MCi210 Integrated Machine Controllers?

Second processor for PLC programs and multi-axis control

MCi modules add a powerful second processor, extending the drive’s system and machine control capabilities to run application programs up to four times faster than a standard PLC.

MCi programs can access and manage the drive’s embedded Advanced Motion Controller across a wide range of networks, providing perfectly synchronised multi-axis machine performance.

The modules are powered from the drive's internal power supply, which means less wiring and less physical space is required. They work seamlessly with external components such as I/O, HMIs and other networked drives through the drive’s native communication ports and System Integration modules.

The MCi210 also provides two additional Ethernet ports with an internal network switch.

MCi210 ensures higher performance by delivering:

Two additional Ethernet ports with an internal switch

Support for standard Ethernet protocols, along with RTMoE for PTP (IEEE 1588) synchronisation

Modbus TCP/IP master (up to 5 nodes)

Parallel interface with drive processor provides faster data exchange

Machine control over two segregated Ethernet networks enables greater flexibility in machine design

Extends connectivity with 3 x digital inputs, 1 x digital output and 1 x digital I/O
