Features:

  • High-speed SERCOS communication supports deterministic synchronized motion control with cycle times down to 0.5 ms.
  • Four-axis motion capability with auxiliary feedback support enables coordinated control for complex machine automation systems.
  • Integration with CompactLogix and Kinetix platforms simplifies programming, commissioning, and motion system expansion through RSLogix 5000 software.
Allen-Bradley 1768-M04SE is a CompactLogix motion module developed for industrial automation systems requiring coordinated multi-axis control. The module integrates directly into the Logix architecture and communicates with drives using the SERCOS interface. Motion applications such as packaging, converting, assembly, and material handling systems benefit from synchronized axis operation and deterministic communication performance. The compact single-slot design also simplifies cabinet integration in machine control systems.

The module supports four controlled motion axes and two auxiliary feedback axes for flexible machine configuration. Allen-Bradley 1768-M04SE operates with SERCOS communication rates of 4 Mbps or 8 Mbps while supporting low cycle times for responsive motion performance. Position and velocity control modes allow adaptation to different servo motion requirements across industrial equipment platforms. Fiber-optic communication through 2090-SCVGxx-0 cables further improves signal reliability in electrically demanding factory environments.

Allen-Bradley 1768-M04SE is suitable for use in production facilities where reliable motion synchronization and machine precision are critical. The module supports installation on DIN rails or panels and operates across industrial temperature ranges from 0°C to 60°C. Vibration resistance up to 5 g and operating shock tolerance up to 30 g help maintain dependable operation in high-duty manufacturing systems. Combined with compatibility for Kinetix integrated motion solutions, the module provides scalable motion control capability for modern automation architectures.

The 1768-M04SE Allen-Bradley CompactLogix 4 Axis Motion Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Description
Allen-Bradley 1768-M04SE delivers integrated motion control capabilities for CompactLogix systems operating in advanced machine automation environments. The module supports four motion axes together with two auxiliary feedback axes, allowing coordinated motion management across multiple machine sections. Using the SERCOS interface, the module enables synchronized communication between controllers and Kinetix drive systems for high-performance industrial motion applications.

The module operates with SERCOS communication data rates of 4 Mbps or 8 Mbps depending on application requirements. At 4 Mbps, Allen-Bradley 1768-M04SE supports 0.5 ms cycle time with up to two drives or 1 ms cycle time with up to four drives. At 8 Mbps, the module maintains 0.5 ms cycle time with up to four drives connected. Position and velocity drive control modes provide flexibility for packaging systems, material handling equipment, indexing machinery, and other coordinated motion processes requiring accurate axis synchronization.

Allen-Bradley 1768-M04SE integrates into the Logix architecture platform and supports use with Kinetix integrated motion solutions. The architecture combines controller, drive, motor, and actuator integration within a unified automation environment while using RSLogix 5000 software for configuration, programming, and commissioning. Additional support for analog servo modules and DeviceNet-based networked motion allows flexible adaptation to different machine architectures and motion control strategies.

Electrical operation is supported through a 5.2V DC supply with current consumption of 969 mA, while no current draw is required at 24V DC. The module dissipates approximately 5.04 W during operation and occupies a single slot in the CompactLogix system. Allen-Bradley 1768-M04SE can be mounted on a DIN rail or panel and uses 2090-SCVGxx-0 glass fiber-optic cables with standard polyvinyl chloride jackets for SERCOS communication connections.

Allen-Bradley 1768-M04SE is designed for industrial operating environments with temperatures ranging from 0°C to 60°C during operation and -40°C to 85°C during storage. The module tolerates 5% to 95% noncondensing relative humidity and withstands vibration levels up to 5 g at 10…500 Hz. Operating shock resistance reaches 30 g while nonoperating shock tolerance reaches 50 g, supporting dependable motion control performance in demanding industrial production systems.
