The LMC058LF424 belongs to the Schneider Electric Modicon LMC058 series. This motion controller combines logic control and motion control in one compact unit. It suits packaging, printing, and assembly machines. The unit offers 42 built-in I/O points and controls up to 4 synchronized axes. Moreover, it runs on a dual-core ARM Cortex-A8 processor. This design delivers fast scan speeds and reliable performance.
First, the processor uses a dual-core ARM Cortex-A8 platform. The scan speed reaches 22 ns per Boolean instruction. For memory, the controller provides 128 MB Flash program memory and 64 MB RAM data memory. Additionally, engineers program it with SoMachine or EcoStruxure Machine Expert software.
The I/O capacity includes 26 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs. Specifically, the inputs split into 10 fast, 12 regular, and 4 configurable points. The outputs include 12 regular and 4 fast pulse outputs. Furthermore, the unit has no built-in analog I/O. However, it supports up to 7 TM5 expansion modules for extra channels.
The LMC058LF424 offers rich communication options. It includes one Ethernet RJ45 port for Modbus TCP/IP. Besides, it has one serial RS-232/RS-485 port for Modbus RTU or ASCII. Two CAN ports support CANopen master and CANmotion master protocols. Meanwhile, a SUB-D15 encoder input handles incremental signals at 5V differential RS-422. For programming, a USB-B mini port connects to a PC. Also, a USB-A port accepts a memory stick.
Regarding motion, the controller manages 4 synchronized axes through CANmotion. This makes it ideal for coordinated drives in complex machines. The encoder interface ensures precise position feedback for each axis. Therefore, the unit performs well in high-speed synchronization tasks.
The controller measures 175 × 99 × 85 mm and weighs 0.77 kg. It mounts on a symmetrical DIN rail for easy installation. The operating temperature ranges from 0 to +55 °C. Storage temperature ranges from -25 to +70 °C. In addition, relative humidity stays between 10% and 95% without condensation. The protection rating is IP20. A 3V CR2477M lithium battery backs up the real-time clock and data retention.
The supply voltage is 24 V DC with a range of 20.4 to 28.8 V. The rated main supply current is 0.28 A at 24V DC. Embedded expert modules draw 0.04 A. These electrical values help engineers plan power budgets correctly.
Next, follow these steps for proper installation. First, mount the controller on a symmetrical DIN rail inside a control cabinet. Ensure the cabinet meets IP20 requirements. Then, connect the 24V DC power supply to the correct terminals. Check polarity before powering the unit.
For communication, plug the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port. Connect CAN devices to the SUB-D9 ports for CANopen or CANmotion networks. Additionally, wire the encoder to the SUB-D15 connector using shielded cable. Keep signal cables away from high-voltage lines to reduce noise. Finally, install the CR2477M battery to keep the clock running. After wiring, download your program through the USB-B port. Test all axes and I/O points before full operation.
