Areas of Use and Application
Drive controllers made by PMC are designed to control electrical motors and monitor their
operation. Control and monitoring of the motors may require additional sensors and actors.
Note: The drive controllers may only be used with the accessories and parts specified in this
document. If a component has not been specifically named, then it may not be either mounted
or connected. The same applies to cables and lines. Operation is only permitted in the specified
configurations and combinations of components using the software and firmware as specified.
Every drive controller has to be programmed before commissioning, making it possible for the
motor to execute the specific functions of an application. The drive controllers have been
developed for use in single- and multi-axis drive and control tasks.
To ensure an application-specific use, the drive controllers are available with different drive power
and different interfaces.
