Kollmorgen, a global leader in motion control and automation systems, has launched its new PCMM2G Programmable Motion Controller, offering enhanced performance, flexibility, and ease of use for a wide range of automation environments. The new controller integrates seamlessly with Kollmorgen Automation Suite and third-party devices, providing a significant upgrade in speed and capabilities for both simple machines and complex automation systems.

The PCMM2G features a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor, delivering industry-leading cycle times. It supports up to 64 axes of synchronized motion, making it ideal for high-complexity environments. With faster Fieldbus cycle rates—1.5 to 3.5 times faster than previous models—and full compatibility with Kollmorgen’s earlier PDMM and PCMM controllers, this controller offers a smooth upgrade path for existing users. The controller also includes 16 GB of internal flash memory, digital inputs/outputs, built-in functional safety modules, and an onboard interface panel.

Dual Ethernet ports and support for various connectivity protocols like Modbus® and Ethernet/IP ensure quick integration with most systems. Real-time clock functionality with battery backup and network synchronization enhances precision across all axes. Users will benefit from Kollmorgen’s easy setup tools, including servo tuning and network configuration, along with the ability to manage files via a USB slot for backup and restoration.

Chris Cooper, Senior Director of Product Management, stated, “The PCMM2G is designed for users seeking to maximize the performance of both Kollmorgen and third-party components. It’s fast, powerful, versatile, and brings advanced automation capabilities to any industrial application, from small machines to complex systems.” Kollmorgen, a brand of Regal Rexnord™, has over 100 years of experience delivering high-performance motors, drives, and automation control platforms to help machine builders gain a competitive edge.
