The GE-Emerson IC693APU302 Motion Mate 2-Axis Positioning Module can be configured to operate in either Standard mode or Follower mode. When used in Standard mode, it combines motion control with PLC logic-solving functions in one integrated system. When used in Follower mode, it provides "electronic gearing" for continuous master/slave applications. The desired mode is selected by configuring a setup parameter in the Logicmaster 90-30 Configuration software.
The Series 90-30 and APM operate together as one integrated motion control package. The APM controls axis motion and handles all direct communications to the drive and machine while the PLC automatically transfers data between PLC tables and the APM.
The connector labeled A contains connections for Axis 1. Connector B, for a 2-axis APM, has connections for Axis 2 as well as general-purpose connections.
