Your benefits

Low effort
Simple operation thanks to the software platform and pre-tested MOVIKIT® single and multi-axis modules. Simplified installation with hybrid cables and industrial plug connectors.

Time-saving
Quick replacement of subordinate drive components thanks to integrated data management and auto-reload function.

Consistently decentralised
The high degree of protection of the housing of the decentralised controllers enables automation solutions even under demanding ambient conditions without the need for an addendum control cabinet.

Relieving the load
Reduction in the capacity utilization of higher-level fieldbus networks. Reduction in system complexity through modularisation of the overall system.

Predictive
Systematic status monitoring of drive and automation technology through condition monitoring.

Our conductor who keeps an eye on the rhythm of your system

The MOVI-C® FIELD CONTROLLER consists of a decentralised controller and a connection box with field distributor function.

It can be connected to almost all common industrial fieldbus systems (PROFINET, EtherNet/IPTMModbus TCP). As EtherCAT®/SBusPLUS-master, the MOVI-C® FIELD CONTROLLER controls drive axes in the "DSI" communication variant and other EtherCAT® participants.

Thanks to the housing with a high degree of protection, the controller can be used flexibly in the field - without the need for an addendum control cabinet. The use of hybrid cables also minimises the amount of cabling required for the subordinate drive axes, thereby reducing costs. Up to up to 16 drive axes can be controlled and the engineering effort is reduced thanks to optimized startup and diagnostics.
