XMP3
series of PLC
The XMP3 series from Rockhood is
a PLC and a HMI combined into 1 unit. It features a large number of functions, large memory capacity,
small size and fast scan times
Although economically priced, these PLC's have been built and designed
with motion control in mind. Basic features in the XMP3 series
programmable logic controller are
• 10 digital Inputs and 8 digital outputs.
• Additional I/O modules can be connected
• Two high speed 32 bit counter inputs, the highest frequency is 200K.
• 2 pulse outputs for stepper or servo motor control
(0~400K).
• PWM Control
• 1 hardware interrupt
• Floating Point Math
Other features include
• Free Software
• Programmable in Ladder Logic and Instruction

Motor Control
The XMP3-18RT model has functions to control Stepper and
Servo motors using the 2 high speed pulse outputs. The functions
require the user to input 4 parameters which are maximum
frequency, total output pulse number, add/minus speed for
ramping up/down to speed and the Y output number. The pulse
output is not affected by the scan cycle.
The XMP3-18RT also has a PWM function for generating pulse width
modulation signals.
Low frequency output can be output at any Y output. The output
frequency is limited to 0-200Hz
XCP Software and Programming
The XCP software's edit environment allows the user the
choice of programming in Ladder Logic or instruction list
programming.
The software is fast and easy to use. It allows for commenting
of the variables so the rungs are easy to understand.
It has an online monitor which allows the user to monitor the
program on the ladder or open the data window to modify or
monitor the data variables
The XCP software also features a rich instruction list which allow
calculations in integer, long integer or floating point. Other
instructions include ordinal control, data manipulation,
interrupts, communications and motion control.
Copy, cut and paste of instruction and ladder programming allows
easy editing of programs
With the software we provide a few example programs showing you
how to use timers, read digital inputs and write to digital
outputs, control stepper motors and generate PWM signals
To program the screen the OP Screen software
is used.
