90-264 Volts
1.5 Axis Servo Drive
FM control modules provide EN drives with
“snap-on” functionality for Indexing (FM-2), Programming (FM-3E),
and Advanced Programming (FM-4E). This modular approach allows
users to choose the level of advanced machine control they need,
based on the applications requirements and suporting scalability
and our "buy what you need" philosophy. For applications requiring
traditional multi-axis control, our MC controller is easily
integrated with a single cable connection. These modules are
programmed using the our PowerTools Pro software.
FM Modules
FM-2 Indexing
Module
The FM-2 module enhances EN drives by adding
positioning capability including Jog, Home, Index functions
including Position Tracker™ – Fieldbus Indexing. The FM-2 also
includes additional I /O providing 8 digital inputs and 4 digital
outputs.
Operating information is set up via our free configuration
software PowerTools Pro. The FM-2 is designed to be extremely easy
to set up and run. This saves time and money during installation
and also makes long term support a breeze. For any simple point to
point motion application, the FM-2 indexer is the right choice.

FM-2 Application Examples
- Clutch-brake replacement
- Extend-retract arm
- Indexing table
- Indexing conveyor

FM-3E Programing Module
The FM-3E Ethernet module transforms the EN into a fully
programmable single-axis motion controller, and adds 8 digital
inputs and 4 digital outputs. Profibus (FM-3PB) and DeviceNet
(FM-3DN) options are also available.
The FM-3E Ethernet Programming Module allows the user to create
programs to sequence motion, I/O control, and other machine
operations in one environment. These programs used in conjunction
with the Assignments or “virtual wiring” feature, provide the user
with a powerful and easy-to-use programming environment.
With removable terminal block connectors for I/O and a pluggable
sync cable for master encoder connections, setup of the FM-3E
hardware is quick and clean. For diagnostics, the LCD keypad
display on the front of the module gives the user a quick and handy
way to change parameters, monitor feedback parameters, check module
and drive revisions, change baud rates, view I/O states, and much
more.
Other versions of the FM-3; Profibus (FM-3PB) and DeviceNet
(FM-3DN) options are also available.

FM-3E Application
Examples
- Tension control
- Flying cut off
- Auger filler
- Registration control
- Slip compensation

FM-4E Advanced Programing Module
The FM-4E Advanced Programming module has taken all of the
features and flexibility of the FM-3E, and added the ability to
create complex motion profiles for sophisticated applications that
are easy to set up with our intuitive PowerTools Pro software.
The FM-4E adds versatility and extends functionality by
including high speed data capture, summation of multiple motion
profiles, position capture object, queuing, multiple profile
summation, program multi-tasking, and an array of parameters
suitable for even the toughest applications.
The FM-4E module is the perfect solution for applications with
complex motion profiles such as a random infeed conveyor, rotary
knife, or high speed labeling machine. Using the same software as
the FM-3E, PowerTools Pro makes programming the FM-4E quick and
easy.
Other versions of the FM-4; Profibus (FM-4PB) and DeviceNet
(FM-4DN) options are also available.

FM-4E Application
Examples
- Random infeed conveyor
- Merge conveyor
- Rotary knife
- High speed labeling
- Phase synchronization
- Electronic gearing
- Point-to-point positioning
- Thermoforming
- Web control
