Essentials PCMM2G Controller
A compact, scalable motion controller for multi‑axis applications up to 8 axes
The PCMM2G Essentials controller delivers the proven performance and integration capabilities of Kollmorgen’s PCMM2G platform at a cost optimised for lower‑axis‑count machines. As part of the Kollmorgen Essentials™ Motion System, it provides a complete, unified solution for motors, drives and control — simplifying design, accelerating commissioning and maximising overall system value.
Fully integrated with the Kollmorgen Automation Suite (KAS), the Essentials controller offers fast cycle times, flexible programming options and seamless connectivity to Essentials servo drives and third‑party systems.
Key Capabilities
- Scalable controller platform for lower‑axis machine architectures
- Supports up to 8 axes of synchronised path motion for indexing and basic positioning
- Integrated I/O and functional safety modules
- Plug‑and‑play operation with KAS and third‑party EtherCAT devices
- Lifelong KAS software updates with no additional licensing fees
- Faster setup and commissioning with pre‑integrated components
- Built‑in tools for rapid configuration, tuning and optimisation
- Supports PLCopen and IEC 61131‑3 programming languages
For higher‑axis machines or more complex motion requirements, Kollmorgen also offers the PCMM2G Standard (up to 24 axes) and PCMM2G Advanced (up to 64 axes) controllers.
