Emerson PCM-11 Motion Program Controller - Advanced Programmable Motion for FX Servo Systems

The Emerson PCM-11 Motion Program Controller (Part Number: 960158-02) transforms standard FX Positioning Servo Drives into sophisticated programmable motion systems. This application module expands I/O capacity while enabling complex motion sequences, ratio control, and multi-axis coordination—essential capabilities for high-precision manufacturing, packaging, and material handling automation.

Core Technical Specifications

  • Model Number: PCM-11 (960158-02)
  • Digital Inputs: 8 optically isolated inputs, +10.5 to +30 VDC
  • Digital Outputs: 4 optically isolated outputs, +10.5 to +30 VDC, 200mA max per output
  • Connection Interface: 48-pin connector to FX Drive, screw terminals for I/O
  • Operating Temperature: 0°C to +50°C (32°F to 122°F)
  • Storage Temperature: -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F)
  • Humidity Range: 5% to 95% RH, non-condensing
  • Weight: Approximately 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs)
  • Mounting: Front-mounted to FX Drive with two locking arms

Global Safety & Compliance Certifications

  • CE Marking: European conformity for electromagnetic compatibility and safety
  • UL Listed: North American safety certification for industrial control equipment
  • CSA Certified: Canadian Standards Association approval for hazardous and non-hazardous locations

Industrial Motion Control Applications

The PCM-11 enables sophisticated automation solutions across diverse manufacturing environments:

Packaging Machinery: Execute precise product positioning, registration mark tracking, and synchronized cutting operations in form-fill-seal machines, cartoners, and case packers. The programmable motion sequences enable rapid changeovers between product sizes without mechanical adjustments, reducing downtime and increasing throughput.

Material Handling Systems: Coordinate conveyor indexing, pick-and-place operations, and automated storage/retrieval systems with programmable dwell times and acceleration profiles. Multi-axis ratio control synchronizes multiple conveyors for smooth product transfer across production lines.

Assembly Automation: Control precision insertion, press-fit, and screw-driving operations with programmable force profiles and position verification. The suspend/resume functions enable operator intervention during semi-automatic assembly processes without losing position reference.

Web Processing Equipment: Manage tension control, web guiding, and cut-to-length operations in printing, laminating, and converting machinery. Electronic line shaft functionality synchronizes multiple servo axes to a master encoder for precise registration control.

Advanced Motion Programming Capabilities

Unlock sophisticated automation strategies with comprehensive motion control features:

Programmable Motion Sequences: Create complex motion profiles with up to 256 programmable indexes combining position, velocity, acceleration, and dwell time parameters. Each index can trigger specific I/O actions, enabling coordinated machine sequences without external PLC programming.

Ratio Control & Electronic Gearing: Synchronize slave axes to master encoders with programmable gear ratios for applications requiring coordinated multi-axis motion. Dynamic ratio changes enable flying shear, rotary knife, and registration correction operations.

Multi-Axis Coordination: Control multiple FX drives with PCM-11 modules through master/slave configurations, enabling complex material handling and assembly operations requiring precise axis synchronization.

Suspend/Resume Functions: Pause motion sequences for operator intervention, quality inspection, or fault recovery, then resume from the exact position without re-homing or losing production count.

Expanded I/O Architecture

Double the standard FX drive I/O capacity for comprehensive machine control:

I/O Type Quantity Specifications Typical Applications
Digital Inputs 8 channels Optically isolated, +10.5 to +30 VDC, current sinking/sourcing Start/stop commands, index selection, limit switches, safety interlocks
Digital Outputs 4 channels Optically isolated, +10.5 to +30 VDC, 200mA max per output Sequence complete signals, fault indicators, auxiliary equipment control

Each I/O line features dual screw terminals enabling flexible wiring configurations for current sinking or sourcing applications. Optical isolation protects the controller from electrical noise and ground loop interference common in industrial environments.

System Integration & Installation

Engineered for seamless integration with FX Positioning Servo Drives:

  • Plug-and-Play Connection: 48-pin connector provides power, communication, and control signals without external wiring
  • Secure Mounting: Two locking arms ensure vibration-resistant attachment to FX drive front panel
  • Screw Terminal I/O: Standard screw cage terminals accept 22-14 AWG wire for reliable field connections
  • Memory Expansion: Increases motion program storage capacity for complex multi-step sequences
  • Configuration Software: Program motion sequences using Emerson's FX configuration tools via RS-232/RS-485 interface

Motion Programming Features

  • Up to 256 programmable motion indexes with position, velocity, and acceleration control
  • Programmable dwell times for pick-and-place and assembly operations
  • Electronic cam profiles for synchronized motion applications
  • Position-triggered I/O for coordinated machine sequences
  • Homing routines with multiple search strategies (limit switch, home sensor, index pulse)
  • Jog mode for manual positioning and machine setup
  • Registration input for web handling and packaging applications
