AB | 1746-HS | IMC 110 Motion Controller Module

The PLC 1746-HS is an IMC 110 Motion Control Module for an SLC 500 system. It has 24 Volts of DC Inputs and Outputs with a Backplane Current of 300 mA at 5 Volts DC and 104 mA at 24 Volts DC. With an input frequency of 300 kHz and a 4.8 millisecond update time, its step response is 100 milliseconds for input and 2.5 milliseconds for output. It requires one slot for installation in an SLC 500 system chassis and is compatible with all SLC processors except SLC 5/01 and SLC 5/02 processors. Depending on the application for incremental, absolute or speed moves, the 1746-HS can be programmable.

The 1746-HS Motion Control Module uses an Offline Development System (ODS) that allows a user to utilize a compatible computer to create, edit, and document Adjustable Machine Parameters (AMP) and Motion Management language (MML) files. For communication, it uses an RS-485 port to directly download AMP and MML files. It also supports the restoration of backed-up projects for later use.

The 1746-HS module constantly uses I/O updates to keep the SLC informed of its working process. It must be as close to the SLC processor as possible for better functionality and is intended for use in a clean and dry environment. This unit operates at a temperature between 0 and 60 degrees Celsius and has a 30 g operating shock.
