IOM-1 Input/Output Expander Module
The IOM Module mounts to the front of the basic drive to double the I/O capability for those
applications where the number of inputs and outputs provided with the basic unit are not
adequate for interfacing motion to the machine logic controllers. Each of these lines are
optically isolated and can be connected in either a current sinking or current sourcing
arrangement. In addition, the IOM-1 includes the parallel interface port required for connecting
1 or 2 thumbwheels and 1 remote display or parallel communications with a PLC.
PCM-1
The PCM-1 module converts the basic Positioning Drive from a “smart” servo drive system with
indexing capabilities into a motion control system capable of executing numbered sequences of
indexes called motion programs. Each motion program combines basic indexes to achieve
complex motion profiles beyond what is possible with the basic drive. In addition, the PCM
module greatly increases the non-volatile memory storage capability of the standard digital drive.
This allows the user greater flexibility in both the size and the number of programs (and indexes)
available. Another advantage of PCM-1 is that it increases the number of input lines from 8 to
16 and the number of output lines is increased from 4 to 8. All inputs and outputs are assignable
from a standard list of I/O functions. Lastly, the PCM-1 allows the user to create compound
indexes and includes the parallel interface port required for connecting 1 or 2 thumbwheels and 1
remote display or parallel communications with a PLC.
PCM-5
The PCM-5 has most of the capability of the PCM-1. The PCM-5 is able to do electronic
synchronized line shafting and ratio control. This is accomplished by using an external encoder
or drive representing a lead axis connected to the PCM-5. The drive with the PCM-5 can then be
synchronized to the lead device. This mode of operation also allows for pulse counting of the
lead device and indexing at velocities proportional to its speed. With this capability, flying
shear/cutoff applications can easily be configured.
