Automation made easy. Implement complex drive tasks and system- specific software requirements with our controller MOVIFIT® MC in the technology function level design for up to three MOVIMOT® gearmotors with inverter.

Uncomplicated and consistent! The technology function level provides both the opportunity to operate standardised application modules as well as to implement your system-specific requirements through programming. MOVIFIT® MC takes on the complete energy supply of the system section.

Implement application functions without any time-consuming programming in combination with our application modules. Simple parameterisation with the aid of intuitive startup wizards enables the implementation of complex motion sequences such as cam positioning for up to three MOVIMOT®. Your tasks can also be freely programmed using the standard IEC 61131 languages.

Our controller MOVIFIT® MC has more than just internal strengths. The high degree of protection IP65 is standard. Its robust aluminium die cast housing is divided into electronics unit (EBOX) and connection unit (ABOX). A major advantage is the closing mechanism with only one screw. This enables quick assembly and smooth unit replacement for servicing.

Our distributor also has a lot to offer in terms of safety. They are equipped with extensive and scalable safety functions and can be used in safety-related areas. Everything is possible, from the safe disconnection of MOVIMOT® drives to the speed-dependent safety functions activated via fieldbus.

Your benefits

  • High flexibility

    due to individual adaptation to the drive topology (number of drives, decent. inputs/outputs, safety technology, fieldbus).
  • Rapid system availability

    due to potential pre-startup without controller in operation and fast unit replacement with only one screw.
  • Simple startup

    due to standardised application modules including evaluation of process relevant decentralised sensor technology.
  • Individual adaptability

    due to support for all common bus systems and free programming with IEC modules.
  • Confirmed safety

    by means of compliance with certified safety options from secure communication and safe disconnection through to safe motion.

Connection variants

The controller consists of an electronics unit (EBOX) and the connection unit shown here (ABOX). The MOVIFIT® connection box (ABOX) represents a large connector and is entirely passive. It is available in two designs:

MOVIFIT® standard connection box

Standard connection box (ABOX)

All cables to be connected are routed into the ABOX via cable glands and wired to terminals at this point.

MOVIFIT® hybrid connection box

The MOVIFIT® hybrid connection box (ABOX) offers the option of making various connections as a plug. All cables for power supply and the motor cables are routed into the ABOX via cable glands and wired to terminals at this point. M12 connectors are provided for digital inputs and outputs. The bus system can be connected via connectors. The bus connectors vary depending on the fieldbus used.

Function level

The function level indicates the functional scope of the software assigned to the MOVIFIT® units in terms of:

  • Software functionality
  • Processing the digital inputs and outputs
  • Local system control
  • Startup operation and diagnostics

Technology function level

Parameterisable application modules – standardised application functions

  • Standardised functions
  • Control and diagnostics via fieldbus
  • Parameterisation instead of programming
  • Startup and diagnostics using MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio.

Free programming (MOVI‑PLC® / MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio)

  • Programming in accordance with IEC 61131 (e.g. in LD, FBD, IL, ST, SFC)
  • MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio with PLC Editor, Application Builder, etc.
  • Multi-level library concept
    (application and program modules of the MOVI-PLC® controller series)

Functional safety

Functional safety: safetyDRIVE

Monitor and react in safety! From safe disconnection (STO) to speed-dependent safety functions (SDI, SLS). Our distributor is also available in conjunction with MOVIMOT® in various safety-related specifications and options.

Functions can be controlled via safe terminals as well as via PROFISAFE. In independent operation our safety options S12 can undertake a local evaluation, processing and disconnection of safety-related signals and functions. A higher-level safety controller is not required in independent operation.
