Hi, Need your help pls ! I've been wondering what is the difference between Motion Controller Omron MCH series and Servo Controller Omron NCH series ? What is the criteria to choose ? Thank you.

Hi, do you mean MCH and NCF ? If so the difference is that MCH is a Motion Controller for up to 30 Axes and functions like E_Cam, Electronic Line Shaft, sychronisation, circle and helical interpolation and so on. NCF is only for 16 Axes and it`s used for point to point positioning linear interpolation up to 4 Axes is possible. Both units are workink over Mechatrolink Motion bus from Yaskawa. Hope this helps a bit.

NCF supports 16 axis. And... M=motion controller (MCH, MC402, MCW151) N-position controller (position loop closed in drive - NCF, NC413, NS115, 300, 600...) Cheers, Pp

I kindly suggest you to add TJ1 (Trajexia Family) to our OMRON Motion Controller List. TJ1 Family is stand-alone Motion Controller. Today is Omron top series Motion Controller. 16 axis 1 ms loop. 8 axis 0.5 ms loop. Avaliable Motion BUS: -Mechatrolink-II: Suported Drives: Sigma-II (SGDH), Junma mechatrolink embedded(SJDE-**ANA) + General Purpose Inverters -Pulse train: All -Analog: All FieldBus: -Ethernet: Programming, and FINS to PLC/HMI -DeviceNet: Slave to any DeviceNet Master PLC -Profibus: Slave to any Profibus Master PLC For more info: : www.trajexia.com
