Allen-Bradley IMC ™ S Class Compact Motion Controllers (IMC-S/23x model)

AxisLink option (IMC-S/23x-L model): used for real-time axis collaboration between multiple controllers, supports 1Mbps baud rate, uses Allen Bradley 1770-CD RIO cable (or equivalent cable), with a maximum total cable length of 25 meters (minimum 1 meter between controllers); Up to 8 controllers can be connected (32 axes in total, with expansion nodes supporting 16 controllers and 64 axes), supporting virtual spindle functionality (up to 1 controller per controller for a total of 4), with a maximum of 31 slave axes per virtual spindle, and a discrete I/O response time of ≤ 1ms.

Model and accessories

（1） Model Interpretation

In the IMC-S/23x model format, the meanings of each part are as follows:

2 ": Represents a Stand Alone platform;

3 ": represents Compact Package;

Axis number: "2" represents 2 axes, "4" represents 4 axes;

Options: "R" represents Remote I/O adapter, "L" represents AxisLink multi axis synchronous link.

（2） Specialized cable accessories

Provide pre designed cable components to simplify external device connections. Common cables are listed in the table below:

Product catalog number, usage, length (feet/meters), required quantity per device

4100-CCF1/4100-CCF3 connection Flex I/O module 1/0.3, 3/1, 1 per controller (only required when using Flex I/O)

4100-CCS15F connects servo drive and feedback device 15/4.5, 1 per axis

410P-CAQB connection 1391B-ES/1391-DES driver with no fixed length, 1 per axis

4100-CCA15F connection dedicated discrete I/O 15/4.5, 1 per axis

4100-CCW15F connected CPU watchdog 15/4.5, 1 per controller

4100-RCS3T connection 4100-REC 3/1, 1 per axis (only required when using 4100-REC)

Safety and Diagnosis

Security protection function: equipped with encoder loss detection (to prevent feedback faults from causing equipment damage), programmable position locking and position error tolerance (servo fault protection), software direction travel limit (to prevent overtravel); The CPU watchdog is equipped with a panel LED indicator to ensure timely alarm in case of system failure.

Diagnosis and debugging: Built in hook up diagnostic function and automatic servo setting program, which can quickly complete servo parameter self-tuning; The panel LED can intuitively display the status of power, memory, etc., simplifying troubleshooting.
