Allen Bradley 1768-M04SE CompactLogix Sercos Interface Module

Manufacturer:  Rockwell / Allen-Bradley / AB

Product No.: 1768-M04SE

The Allen-Bradley 1768-M04SE module is a CompactLogix 4-Axis SERCOS interface motion module. This SERCOS interface module is utilized by the Allen-Bradley Kinetix integrated-motion solution systems to perform complex synchronized motion across multiple axes. It allows the Kinetix system to integrate the motor, drive, and some actuators into the system with lower costs per axis of motion, eliminating the dependency on a PLC for motion control.

Compatibility:

The 1768-M04SE module is compatible with servo drive controllers like the 1768-L43 (4 axes) and the 1768-L45 (8 axes), and servo drives including the 2093 Kinetix 2000, 2094 Kinetix 6000, 2099 Kinetix 7000 high-power, and the 2098 Ultra3000 SERCOS servo drives. It supports data exchange rates of 4 Mbps and 8 Mbps with update times of 0.5 milliseconds for up to two drives and 1 millisecond for up to four drives at 4 Mbps. The module supports position or velocity drive control modes and can integrate and control up to four drives, consuming three connections.
