Introduction

FM-3 is a compact and rugged function module that attaches to the front of the E Series drive. It provides eight digital input lines and four digital output lines, in addition to the four input and three output lines available on the E Series EN drive.

Unlike other function modules, the FM-3 offers complex motion profiling. A complex motion profile consists of two or more indexes that are executed in sequence such that the final velocity of each index except the last is non-zero. Logical instructions between index statements can provide a powerful tool for altering motion profiles ’on the fly’. The FM-3 defines complex motion by a configuration file that includes setups, function assignments and programs. The configuration file is created using EMERSON Motion Control PowerTools®

PowerTools FM-3 is an easy-to-use Microsoft® Windows®2 based setup and diagnostics tool.

Note that the E Series drive’s firmware is disabled whenever a Function Module such as the FM-3 is attached. Therefore, if the E Series drive’s hardware is FM compatible, then the E Series drive’s firmware can be any version because the programming features reside in the function module’s flash memory. Flash files used for firmware upgrades are available on the Emerson Motion Control webpage.
