Hello all. I stepped into an established system to integrate a Fanuc Robot to tend machines that are using CLX's. I have seen many a machine use Kinetix servo controls but I have not seen servo cards that mount in the PLC chassis before (1756-M02AE). I have not performed a deep-dive yet but wanted to ask a question or two before I do so next week.
1. Why would one select this method over using a servo amp and motor such as a Kinetix 5500? On the surface it uses the same motion move instructions. As I mentioned before, I haven't dug into this yet but, do these modules control AB servo motors.......or a special type of motor?
2. Why does each motion group have a virtual axis group as well (3-axes)?
Thank you
