GMC System

The 1394 GMC System provides all the functionality of the IMC S Class Compact Motion Controller and power conversion within the 1394 system module. 

Allen-Bradley offers two versions of the 1394 GMC system module (Standard GMC and GMC Turbo). 

Both systems are completely programmed and commissioned using GML (Graphical Motion Control

Language),offer Allen-Bradley DH485, RS-232, and RS-422 as standard communications, and ave Remote

I/O and AxisLink available as communication options.

The 1394x-SJTxx-C (Standard GMC) system supports four axis modules and provides four channels of auxiliary encoder input. 

The 1394C-SJTxx-L (Standard GMC) provides the same functionality of the 1394x-SJTxx-C, 

but supports only one axis module and provides two channels of auxiliary encoder input.

In addition, the 1394x-SJTxx-T (GMC Turbo) provides more GML application program memory and executes the programs faster. 

The 1394x-SJTxx-T offers 64K of memory with a 32-bit processor while the 1394x-SJTxx-C offers 32K of program memory with a 16-bit

processor. The 1394x-SJTxx-T also includes a direct, high speed link to the SLC 5/03, 5/04, or 5/05 that simplifies the programming required to transfer data between the 1394x-SJTxx-T and the SLC.

CNC Interface System

The 1394 9/Series CNC Interface system (1394-SJTxx-E) provides a digital servo system to be used with the 9/260 and 9/290 CNC. 

This system provides all power electronics and uses a cost-saving digital interface approach. 

Servo control for this system is handled by the 9/Series CNC. 

A fiber optic I/O ring is provided to the 1394 and the system is completely interfaced with and programmed using ODS (Off-Line Development System) and the CNC operator panel.
