Key Features and Advantages

The **MC422B** delivers nanoscale motion precision with its adaptive feedforward control and real-time vibration compensation. Its multi-core processor executes complex trajectory calculations within 500µs cycle times, enabling synchronized control of rotary and linear axes in high-dynamic applications. The integrated EnDat 2.2 interface supports absolute encoders with 28-bit resolution for closed-loop accuracy across 4 axes.

Advanced thermal drift compensation maintains positioning stability during prolonged operation, while the dual EtherCAT ports enable daisy-chained network topologies. The controller’s Safe Motion functionality (SIL 2) ensures safe torque limitation and standstill monitoring. For rapid commissioning, the **MC422B** includes auto-tuning algorithms that optimize servo parameters based on mechanical load characteristics.
