PCMM2G – The Next-Generation Programmable Motion Controller
October 1, 2024
The PCMM2G programmable controller / multi-axis master delivers industry-leading performance and flexible support for both Kollmorgen and third-party systems. Full-featured and simple to use, this compact, multi-axis motion controller scales easily to handle everything from small, simple machine modules to large, highly complex automation environments.
High Performance
The PCMM2G uses a 1.5 GHz quad core processor to deliver 1.5–3.5 times faster fieldbus cycle rate compared to previous-generation motion-control hardware for industrial machines. And this compact motion controller includes all the memory, connectivity and features you’re likely to need for any application, large or small.
- One scalable motion controller hardware platform for everything from small, simple machine modules to large, high-complexity automation environments.
- Up to 64 axes of synchronized path motion, including S-curve and other complex moves.
- 16 GB of internal flash memory.
- 6 digital inputs and 2 digital outputs.
- Integral human-machine interface.
In capabilities and versatility, PCMM2G is designed to be the one programmable motion controller you need for practically any industrial application.
Seamless Integration
The PCMM2G motion controller is a native component of the Kollmorgen Automation Suite, and it’s also designed to support all major industry standards — enabling quick, straightforward integration with most third-party automation systems.
- 100BASE-T connection supporting UDP, HTTP, Modbus, Ethernet/IP and PROFINET for fast integration with most systems.
- Dual Ethernet ports to allow system configuration while connected to an industrial network.
- Integrated tools for simple, rapid network configuration, servo tuning and machine optimization.
- Simplified inventory for modular or scalable machines.
- Reduced setup time, consolidated software and single-source ordering when using the full Kollmorgen Automation Suite.
For existing systems that incorporate Kollmorgen’s PDMM or PCMM controller, the PCMM2G motion controller offers a simple upgrade path. And all customers — whether they use Kollmorgen solutions or third-party components — can count on full migration and operational support.
Simple Usability
Plug-and-play capabilities ensure easy setup. Integrated tools simplify and speed network configuration, servo tuning and machine optimization.
- Removable USB drive to support file management and backup/restore.
- Uninterruptible real-time clock with battery backup.
- Network time protocol (NTP) for reliable system synchronization.
- Complete online and live support.
When PCMM2G is used with the full Kollmorgen Automation Suite, customers enjoy the additional benefits of simplified inventory, reduced setup time, consolidated software and complete system validation — all from one trusted automation supplier.
