About the Modicon Momemtum Package
|
This the form of the modules that are installed to machines that use our CNC Bender software. The different modules come in a variety of functions - but the same packaging. For example, the image here shows an INPUT base with 32-points with an Ethernet Communications Adapter clipped on the top. See this data sheet (16 pages) for an overview of these modules. View the Modicon Momentum I/O Base User Guide (662 pages). They mount to DIN rails in electrical panels. |

I2T IFC220E Servo Modules
The I2T (Pronounced "I Square T") servo modules use the same package form as the other Modicon products. The base unit contains a computer that can control 2 axes.
|
This is the form for the I2T servo modules with an Ethernet Communications Adapter on the top. You can see a slight difference on the base from the INPUT module with the RJ-45 receptacle. |

|
In the I2T servo modules, the serial port is an RJ-45 receptacle port shown in this image. INPUT and OUTPUT modules don't include this port. |

INPUT Base with Ethernet Communication Adapter
|
The Ethernet Communications Adapter holds the IP address for this base, and receives the Ethernet cable from a switch or a hub. Each bender is its own small Class C network with addresses like 192.168.0.201, 192.168.0.202, etc. |

Back of Modicon Momentum I/O Base
This is the back of the base with a channel for receiving a DIN rail.
Modicon Momentum Analog Base
For applications were we must control the positions of proportional valves to set pressures, we output and hold a specific voltage in the +/-10 volt range using the Modicon Momentum Analog base to output up to 4 separate channels. (We can control four valves with one Analog module.)
Download a datasheet that describes the Analog cards used:
0 to 20ma +/-10volt Analog Base
4 to 20ma +/-10volt Analog Base
Either base can be used depending on availability.
Electrical Panel
Most modules are installed in any order convenient in an electrical panel as shown in this example:
This shows a close-up image of INPUT and OUTPUT modules next to each other in the electrical panel.
