When you think of automation and control technology, do you automatically imagine a whole lot of complex work for commissioning and then running production operations? It doesn't have to be like that – there is certainly an easier way. Parameterizing instead of programming – tailoring motion control functionality and intelligent control technology to your needs. A solution where everything is a perfect match – automation technology, software and control technology with a systematic approach – an

MOVI-C® CONTROLLER / control cabinet
The performance class of the MOVI-C® CONTROLLERs depends on the number of inverters and the number of synchronous axes and auxiliary axes required and to be configured for the movement. The four performance classes "power", "progressive", "advanced", and "standard" are available. All versions have a compact design, meaning they can fit into even small machine control cabinets.

MOVI-C® FIELD CONTROLLER
Decentralized motion control
Based on the MOVI-C® modular automation system, a controller has also been developed for decentralized drive technology that has the same functions and interfaces as the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER, in this way extending the portfolio seamlessly and continuously.
The MOVI-C® FIELD CONTROLLER can be operated on almost all common industrial fieldbus systems (PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP). As an EtherCAT®/SBusPLUS master, the MOVI-C® FIELD CONTROLLER controls drive axes in the "DSI" communication variant and other EtherCAT® stations.
Up to 16 drive axes can be controlled and the engineering work is reduced by optimized startup and diagnostics.
Martin Müller, Product Manager for the FIELD CONTROLLER
"Due to the ever-increasing complexity of systems, the MOVI-C® FIELD CONTROLLER offers the perfect complement to direct fieldbus control in drive engineering. With the help of the decentralized motion control system, the customer can achieve simple modularization with a high degree of networking to reduce complexity and fieldbus utilization. SEW-EURODRIVE enables the customer to operate the system easily, true to the motto: Parameterization instead of programming, while programming is still possible".

Parameterization instead of programming
The modular MOVI-C® automation system provides a common platform for control cabinet controllers and decentralized controllers with the same functionalities and the same variety of interfaces.
The controllers from the MOVI-C® automation modular system can be used for a wide range of motion control or automation tasks and are connected to the higher-level controller of a machine cell or system via fieldbus slave interfaces for the PROFINET, EtherNet/IPTM or Modbus TCP fieldbus systems. As an EtherCAT®/SBusPLUS master, the controller ensures smooth communication with subordinate units, such as MOVIDRIVE® or MOVIGEAR® performance, and their clock-synchronous connection to the motion/application.
However, the integrated software of the centralized and decentralized controllers offers the decisive added value for reducing complexity: parameterization instead of programming. For you as a user, this software means more scope for parameterization and less programming effort.
The simple central data storage and the auto-reload function for exchange are further advantages of our control technology, thus keeping the reliability and availability of automation technology in your production constantly at a very high level.
Cut complexity
The MOVI-C® CONTROLLER provides added flexibility for parameterization and reduces programming outlay. It's all thanks to the ready-standardized MOVIKIT® modules and MOVIRUN® software platform – and the end results are lower costs and less complexity. The control technology is available in four different performance classes – power, progressive, advanced and standard. You also benefit from simple data storage and an auto-reload function for axis replacement. MOVI-C® CONTROLLER units can be connected to all standard control systems.
Enjoy more flexibility
Our control technology and software also give you the option of writing your own programming. Would you prefer to create your own bespoke programs for your application, such as PLC functions or specific rules, so you can stand out from your competitors? If so, then our software platform has exactly what you need.
