gSystem MXh, a complete synchronous multi-axis control driver, is a new-concept controller for line systems that is capable of controlling multiple axes by perfectly synchronizing them. By integrating CPUs for controlling speed and current of the vector inverter with the CPU for multi-axial control and completely eliminating dead time in high-speed communications between memories, System MX achieves perfect synchronization between the control processors. In addition, it supports standard industrial buses and field networks to secure connectivity and scalability. The system tool that SHI Control Systems, Ltd. (SCS) developed offers a variety of useful functions including those allowing development and maintenance of control software. Making the most of these features, SCS introduced sectional drive control systems to gravure printing and other industrial fields, which have attracted significant market attention. In this report, SCS describes the complete synchronous multi-axis control drivergSystem MXhand examples of achieving its excellent synchronous control.
