Operating information is set up via our free configuration software PowerTools. The FM-2 is designed to be extremely easy to set up and run. This saves time and money during installation and also makes long term support a breeze. For any simple point to point motion application, the FM-2 indexer is the right choice.

FM-3E Programming Module

The FM-3E Ethernet module transforms the EN & MDS into a fully programmable single-axis motion controller, and adds 8 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs. Profibus (FM-3PB) and DeviceNet (FM-3DN) options are also available.

The FM-3E Ethernet Programming Module allows the user to create programs to sequence motion, I/O control, and other machine operations in one environment. These programs used in conjunction with the Assignments or “virtual wiring” feature, provide the user with a powerful and easy-to-use programming environment.

• User-defined Units for Distance, Velocity, Acceleration/Deceleration and Torque
• User Programs
• Synchronized Motion
• Global and Index PLS’s
• S-Curve Acceleration and Deceleration
• User Variables
• Analog Input
• Supports 57 Indexes
• Ethernet (-3E), DeviceNet (-3DN ) or Profibus (-3PB) Options
• Software Oscilloscope
• Auto-Tune

With removable terminal block connectors for I/O and a pluggable sync cable for master encoder connections, setup of the FM-3E hardware is quick and clean. For diagnostics, the LCD keypad display on the front of the module gives the user a quick and handy way to change parameters, monitor feedback parameters, check module and drive revisions, change baud rates, view I/O states, and much more! Profibus (FM-3PB) and DeviceNet (FM-3DN) options are also available.

FM-4E Advanced Programming Module

The FM-4E Advanced Programming module has taken all of the features and flexibility of the FM-3E, and added the ability to create complex motion profiles for sophisticated applications.

The FM-4E adds versatility and extends functionality by including high speed data capture, summation of multiple motion profiles, position capture object, queuing, multiple profile summation, program multi-tasking, and an array of parameters suitable for even the toughest applications. Profibus (FM-4PB) and DeviceNet (FM-4DN) options are also available.

• Program Multitasking
• Multiple Profile Summation
• Queuing
• User Configurable Capture Objects
• Ethernet (-4E), DeviceNet (-4DN ) or Profibus (-4PB) Options
• User-defined Units for Distance, Velocity, Acceleration/Deceleration and Torque
• User Programs
• Synchronized Motion
• Global and Index PLS’s
• S-Curve Acceleration and Deceleration
• User Variables
• Analog Input
• Supports 57 Indexes
• Software Oscilloscope
• Auto-Tune

The FM-4E module is the perfect solution for applications with complex motion profiles such as a random infeed conveyor, rotary knife, or high speed labeling machine. Using the same software as the FM-3E, PowerTools Pro makes programming the FM-4E quick and easy. Profibus (FM-4PB) and DeviceNet (FM-4DN) options are also available.
