16-Axis Programmable Motion Controller for Multi-Language Programming

The JMC-101-16 is a 16-Axis Programmable Motion Controller that brings the JMC-101 series platform to machines with up to sixteen EtherCAT drive axes or I/O devices. With an 800 MHz CPU, 512 MB RAM, and 512 MB storage expandable to 1 GB, it provides multi-language programming and large I/O expansion in a controller sized for mid-range automation.

Controller Overview

This 16-axis variant is based on the same hardware family as the JMC-101, which keeps engineering tools, spare parts, and programming skills consistent across a machine builder’s product line.

Interfaces

The controller includes one EtherCAT port, two CAN interfaces (CANopen and custom CAN), and one each of RS485, RS232, USB 2.0, and Ethernet (Modbus or UDP). I/O expands to 256 inputs and 256 outputs.

Programming and Motion

Programs can be written in ladder diagram, function block, or C language under a multitasking framework. Motion support includes point-to-point moves, multi-axis linear interpolation, 2-3 axis circular interpolation, and 3-axis helical interpolation.

Specification Summary

• CPU: 800 MHz; RAM: 512 MB; storage: 512 MB (expandable to 1 GB)
• Axes: up to 16 EtherCAT drive axes or I/O devices
• CAN: 2; RS232: 1; RS485: 1; USB 2.0: 1; Ethernet: 1; EtherCAT: 1
• I/O expansion: up to 256 DI and 256 DO

Applications

The JMC-101-16 suits factory automation, robotics, packaging machinery, CNC machine tools, semiconductor equipment, inspection equipment, and material handling at a smaller axis count. Semiconductor tools and inspection stations that combine a few motion axes with many digital signals are common users of the large I/O budget.

Selection Considerations

Confirm the axis count fits within 16 and that the CAN protocol matches your auxiliary devices. The multi-language programming model makes it easy to involve both ladder-trained and C-trained engineers on the same project. Lyenwsin can advise on EtherCAT drive selection and I/O expansion planning.
