Overview

The 1394 System 

The 1394 is a modular, multi-axis motion control and drive system family.

Its unique design allows the 1394 to be used as an integrated motion controller and drive system (GMC) with Turbo or standard

IMC S Class Compact functionality, an integrated 9/440 CNC system,

a 9/Series CNC digital interface drive system, a SERCOS servo drive system, or an analog servo drive system.

All 1394 systems provide direct line connection (transformerless) for 360 and 480V three-phase input power,

efficient IGBT power conversion, www.abb-drive.com and slide-and-lock, module-to-module connection

systems. Each system module can be configured with up to four axis modules,

with each axis module interfacing to a motor.

The 1394 provides significant panel space and interconnect savings.

1394 System Overview

GMC System

The 1394 GMC System provides all the functionality of the IMC S Class Compact Motion Controller and power conversion within the 1394 system module.

Allen-Bradley offers two versions of the 1394 GMC system module (Standard GMC and GMC Turbo).

Both systems are completely programmed and commissioned using GML (Graphical Motion Control Language),

offer Allen-Bradley DH485, RS-232, and RS-422 as standard communications, and have Remote I/O and AxisLink available as communication options.

The 1394x-SJTxx-C (Standard GMC) system supports four axis modules and provides four channels of auxiliary encoder input.

The 1394C-SJTxx-L (Standard GMC) provides the same functionality of the 1394x-SJTxx-C,

but supports only one axis module and provides two channels of auxiliary encoder input.

In addition, the 1394x-SJTxx-T (GMC Turbo) provides more GML application program memory and executes the programs faster.

The 1394x-SJTxx-T offers 64K of memory with a 32-bit processor while the 1394x-SJTxx-C offers 32K of program memory with a 16-bit

processor. The 1394x-SJTxx-T also includes a direct, high speed link to the SLC 5/03, 5/04, or 5/05 that simplifies the programming

required to transfer data between the 1394x-SJTxx-T and the SLC.
