Machine controller
The Simotion PAC is the co.'s latest advancement in machine controllers. In the past, a machine required multiple dedicated hardware components in addition to a PLC to properly monitor and control a machine. One PAC can handle the PLC logic, motion control, drive control, motion safety, robotics control and PID control for elements like temperature, force or pressure regulation. This reduces panel space and wiring, and simplifies field-bus configuration. The co. has four performance levels in the drive-based PAC alone.
