Overview of models
The AM320 and AM521/AM522 controllers can handle everything from the simplest PLC applications to the most complex motion control application using EtherCAT servo drives. In addition, they support a wide range of industrial protocols such as Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, CANopen, OPC-UA.
An example of the control system of individual AM300/AM500 series PLC models:
AM320
The main features of the AM320 controller are a processor with two independent network ports with individual IP addresses. It supports two Modbus TCP or Ethernet/IP communications in master-slave mode. Machine network isolated from the external network. Redundant Ethernet network.
AM521/AM522
The main features of the AM521 and AM522 controllers are a processor with a real-time EtherCAT interface. Motion control for up to 16 axes synchronized via EtherCAT. Single or multi-axis movement using programmable POUs compatible with PLCopen Motion. Linear and circular interpolation and CAM functions.
