Wireless Expansion Modules
for MAC motors.
Type MAC00-FZ4 (IEEE 802.15.4)
and MAC00-FZ4-ZB (ZigBee)
A range of integrated AC servo motors
makes JVL a world leader within
motion control. The numerous features
of these motors include a modular
concept that makes it extremely easy
to adapt the motors to a very wide
range of applications.
The new wireless MAC00-FZ4 module
is based on the established IEEE
802.15.4 standard with a special highspeed
serial communications and the
option to implement other protocols,
like ZigBee, on top to realize true mesh
networking at low transmission power.
The module makes it possible to have
a fast direct point-to-point connection
to the motor and to switch between a
large number of motors. Used in this
way, the module effectively replaces a
serial cable.
Another way to use the same module
is as a node in a larger network, which
will require some software work, but
can be used to build very large and
robust mesh networks, with automatic
route discovery and self-healing
characteristics.
The master PC or other device must
use a small interface module running
the same proprietary protocol. This
can be supplied with a ready-to-use
USB adapter or a serial adapter. Very
low power consumption is possible for
battery operated master equipment
like a remote control.
The module is otherwise nearly
identical to the MAC00-Rx modules
with a built-in nanoPLC and a set of
digital input and output signals to
control local logic.
Applications:
Positioning of axes
Supervision of motor
Parameter setup
Function:
The solution gives full access to all
functions and registers in the MAC
motor
Baud rates of 9600, 19200, 38400
or 57600 with the MAC400 and
MAC800. Fixed baudrate of 19200
with the MAC050 to MAC141
Wireless control of the motor.
Local intelligence for multipurpose
control
4 inputs and 4 outputs
Programmable via wireless control
with MacTalk
Uses the worldwide 2.4GHz
frequency band.
