LMC058LF424 Schneider Electric Modicon LMC058 Motion Controller, 42 I/O, 4 Axes, 24 V DC

Product Overview: LMC058LF424 Motion Controller

The Schneider Electric LMC058LF424 is a Modicon LMC058 motion controller engineered for machine builders who require deterministic motion and logic control in a single DIN-rail unit. Because it integrates 42 I/O and 4 synchronized axes, it eliminates the separate motion module that many architectures demand. Consequently, panel space and wiring complexity decrease. The controller runs on a dual-core ARM Cortex-A8 processor from the M258 platform and executes Boolean instructions in 22 ns, so high-speed sequencing remains exact under load.

Key Features and Verified Specifications

• Processor: Dual-core ARM Cortex-A8 (M258 platform) with 128 MB Flash program memory.
• Data memory: 64 MB RAM for application and motion data.
• Scan speed: 22 ns per Boolean instruction for deterministic execution.
• Digital I/O: 26 inputs (10 fast, 12 regular, 4 configurable) and 16 outputs (12 regular, 4 fast).
• Motion: 4 synchronized axes via CANmotion master, plus CANopen master.
• Encoder: 1 incremental input (SUB-D15, 5 V differential RS-422).
• Supply voltage: 24 V DC (20.4...28.8 V), bus current 0.28 A at 24 V DC.
• Protection: IP20, operating range 0...+55 °C.

Notably, the 4 fast outputs and integrated high-speed counters support precise registration and camming tasks. The 22 ns scan speed matters because it reduces jitter between the logic scan and the motion update. Therefore, cut-length accuracy and synchronization improve on packaging and converting lines.

Integration and Communication

The LMC058LF424 provides 1 Ethernet RJ45 (10/100BASE-TX), 1 serial RS-232/RS-485, 2 CAN (SUB-D9), 1 encoder input, and USB ports for programming and memory. Protocols include Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU/ASCII, CANopen master, and CANmotion master. Because these ports are built in, the controller connects to HMIs, drives, and remote I/O without extra communication cards. Integration Note: wiring into fieldbus networks may require an external gateway or connection module; confirm cables and gateways with the supplier.
