Description
In the b maXX PLC mc the resources are divided between a real-time operating system and an independent Windows. One device runs both motion control and machine visualization, which previously needed at least two units. This frees space in the cabinet and shortens the spare parts list. The controller is programmed per IEC 61131-3 and handles Motion Control and Coordinated Motion tasks. The real-time clock battery is replaced from outside without a tool, and fast non-volatile NOVRAM memory retains data on power loss. ProDataX and Ininet SpiderControl software together with the OPC UA and MQTT protocols collect data on the machine and pass it to the cloud, for example for predictive maintenance. The b maXX-PCC is a box PC on Windows 7 Embedded with a built-in real-time kernel. It is programmed per IEC 61131-3 or in the CIL language in Visual Studio, and the EtherCAT master with Distributed Clocks synchronizes the axes. Both controllers are integrated into ProMaster and work with b maXX 3300, 5000 and 6000 servo converters, I/O islands and operator panels. The equipment is supplied at low voltage, 24 V DC.
How to choose
The choice starts with the machine architecture. If you need a compact DIN rail unit that runs multi-axis motion and shows visualization, take the b maXX PLC mc. It suits web processing machines and other fast tasks. When the logic and IT connectivity must live in one box in a centralized or hybrid scheme, the b maXX-PCC with CIL programming is suitable. If the logic can instead be moved into the drive itself, look at the b maXX drivePLC with a cycle of up to 250 µs.

FAQ
What are the dimensions of the b maXX PLC mc and how is it mounted?
The housing measures 110 × 90 × 35 mm and mounts on a DIN rail.
In which language are the b maXX PLC mc and b maXX-PCC programmed?
Both controllers are programmed per IEC 61131-3. For the b maXX-PCC the open CIL language in Visual Studio is also available.
Which interfaces and protocols does the controller support?
EtherCAT Master with Distributed Clocks, Ethernet 1000 Mbit/s, OPC UA and MQTT. The first two handle axis synchronization and fast exchange, the others pass data to IT systems.
What happens to the data on power loss?
It is retained by fast non-volatile NOVRAM memory. The real-time clock battery is replaced from outside without a tool.
Which operating system runs on the b maXX PLC mc?
Two at the same time. The real-time OS handles control, and the independent Windows handles machine visualization.
