FM-4E

Advanced programming function module

FM-4E Advanced Programming Module

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

For information on FM-4DN (Devicenet) and FM-4PB (Profibus), see the Options tab on this page.

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.

  • Features
    • 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.
