COM-KIT Product Description

Overview

The MCB commissioning kit (COM-KIT) is a communications bridge between an Ingenia Motion Control Bus (MCB) based drive such as Capitan Core, or Everest Core, and an Ethernet port. It allows debugging, tuning, or commissioning servo drives using Ingenia MotionLab 3.

The MCB (sometimes abbreviated MCB or Motion Control Bus) is an open Ingenia protocol that allows board-level fast SPI communication between masters and slaves (axis). It is a fast, deterministic protocol that is intended to be used on a board to board communication and allows synchronization and safety.

Various connector solutions can be implemented on the target interface board depending on the application requirements, see Recommended MCB Cables. The COM-KIT requires an external 5 V, 2.5 W isolated external power supply to operate.

The following diagram shows the typical application of the MCB on an interface board.

Signaling LEDs

Name	Colour	Meaning
+5 V	Green	LED is on with 5 V supply are present and correct.
ETH (bi-color LED)	Green	Future use.
ETH (bi-color LED)	Red	Future use.
FAULT	Red	LED is on when an error event has occurred and the drive is trapped in the Fault state. This LED is physically controlled by MCB connector pin 1 (FAULT_OUT).
