8.22 Motion control
The Motion Control is programmed in the Motion API interface in the program-
ming language STX.
The seamless integration of axis functions into the controller is an essential fea-
ture of the Jetter AG control technology. This makes point-to-point positioning
(PtP), technology functions (MC), as well as path control and certain robot func-
tions easy to realize. This universal motion controller is called
Motion Control
eXtended (MCX)
.
MCX features
■
Centralized generation of all command positions for single axes and axis
groups
■

■
Jerk control to minimize machine vibrations
■
Online generation of cam discs
■
Combination of technology and path groups
■
Cascading of axis groups
■
Programming using SI units
■
Consideration of mechanical parameters
Amount of axes
JX2 system bus (CAN 1, X19):
■
Up to 16 servo amplifiers JM-100/JM-200 in PtP mode
■
6 axes max. in MCX mode
Jetter Ethernet system bus (X14/X15):
■
Up to 64 servo amplifiers JM-200-ETH in PtP mode

Prerequisite:
The total number of axes must not exceed the maximum possible number of axes
of the controller.
Mixed operation of MCX axes via Ethernet and JX2 system bus is not supported.
