AEG AS-02MP-000 Modicon Auxiliary Motion & Process Processing Module
- Product Introduction: This is a dedicated auxiliary processing and interface module for AEG Modicon 800 series PLC systems, engineered to offload specialized motion control and complex process calculation tasks from the main PLC CPU, enhancing the overall system’s processing efficiency and real-time performance. It integrates a dedicated motion processing core, analog/digital signal preprocessing circuits, and high-speed I/O interfaces, supporting simple motion control (single-axis positioning, speed regulation) and advanced process data analysis (filtering, scaling, PID pre-calculation). The module acts as a co-processor for the main CPU, enabling the Modicon 800 series to handle mixed control tasks of logic, motion, and process in industrial automation scenarios, and is a key expansion component for improving the PLC system’s multi-task processing capability.
- Technical Specifications:
- Processing Core: 16-bit dedicated motion/process processor, operating frequency 40 MHz, independent of the main CPU.
- Supported Control Tasks: Single-axis stepper/servo motor positioning, speed regulation (0-5000 RPM), analog signal preprocessing (filtering, linearization, scaling), PID loop pre-calculation (up to 8 loops).
- High-Speed I/O Interfaces: 2×high-speed pulse output (PTO, 0-100 kHz) for motion control, 2×high-speed counter input (0-100 kHz, incremental encoder compatible).

- Compatibility: Fully compatible with Modicon 800 series PLC CPUs (AS-P800/AS-P890), support IEC 61131-3 programming via main PLC software.
- Functional Features:
- Independent dedicated processing core offloads motion control and complex process calculation tasks from the main CPU, avoiding the occupation of main CPU computing resources and ensuring the real-time performance of the system’s core logic control.
- Support for single-axis stepper/servo motor positioning and speed regulation via 100 kHz high-speed PTO output meets the basic motion control requirements of industrial equipment such as small conveyors, packaging machines, and material handling robots.
- 100 kHz high-speed counter input is compatible with incremental encoders, realizing high-precision position and speed feedback of motion axes, and ensuring the accuracy of motion control closed-loop regulation.
- Built-in analog signal preprocessing function (filtering, linearization, scaling) optimizes the collected sensor signals, reduces the data processing pressure of the main CPU, and improves the accuracy of process parameter control.
- Up to 8 sets of PID loop pre-calculation can be completed independently, which is suitable for multi-loop process control scenarios such as temperature and pressure in small process production lines, and realizes fast and stable regulation of process parameters.
- 8 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs provide auxiliary logic control capability, which can directly connect with on-site limit switches, proximity sensors and small actuators, reducing the need for additional digital I/O modules.
- High-speed backplane bus communication with the main CPU (latency ≤1 ms) ensures the synchronous transmission of motion control instructions, process data and logic signals, and realizes the seamless coordination of logic control, motion control and process control.
- Plug-and-play integration with Modicon 800 series chassis, the module parameters and control tasks can be configured and programmed uniformly through the main PLC programming software, without additional independent programming tools, simplifying system development and debugging.
- Industrial-grade component selection and wide temperature range design ensure stable operation in harsh industrial environments, and the built-in fault self-diagnosis function can monitor the module’s operating status in real time and send fault alerts to the main CPU.
- Compact structure and DIN rail mounting save the chassis installation space, and the low power consumption design (≤6 W) does not increase the overall power load of the PLC system.
- Application Scenarios: Widely used in industrial automation systems that require the combination of logic control, simple motion control and process control, such as small packaging machines, automatic labeling machines, material sorting conveyors, small chemical reaction kettles, and food processing equipment. It is the core expansion module for Modicon 800 series PLCs to realize single-axis motion control (such as mechanical arm positioning, conveyor speed regulation) and multi-loop process parameter control (such as temperature, pressure, flow) in light industry production lines, electronic component assembly lines and small process production workshops, and is suitable for all industrial occasions where the main PLC CPU needs to be offloaded for specialized processing tasks.
