Laing Motor Controller Series (LMC)

LMC mains operation

Laing motor controller in mains mode.
230V or 115V AC

LMCB battery operation

Laing motor controller powered by batteries.
97 Wh battery.

LMCD DC

Laing motor controller in DC mode.
10V to 36V DC

Controller for 1 to 4 drives

Depending on the version, the controller can control up to 4 drives individually. It is also possible to combine several drives into groups, with the members of a group then driving synchronously.

Easy configuration

With an easy-to-use software tool, a configuration file is created, which is then saved in the controller and can be uploaded to other controllers within seconds with the downloader. Of course, the controller can also be delivered preconfigured.

Powerful collision detection

In addition to the standard current-based collision detection, there is an option for a gyro and gravity sensor. These sensors not only allow reliable detection of a collision, they also ensure that the table can never fall over.

Communication via BLE or WiFi

The controllers are optionally upgraded with these modules, for example to communicate with a PC or smartphone. The Modbus interface is included in every controller.

FAQ

Here you can find answers to frequently asked questions about our LMC controllers.

What is the advantage of the LMC controller compared to the LTC controller?

Controllers in the LTC series are ideal for applications such as tables, where either only one drive needs to be controlled or all connected drives need to be synchronized.
The LMC controller, on the other hand, is able to carry out several independent movements and synchronize several drives as required. An example of this is a table with two drives (synchronized) and a height-adjustable monitor (independent), which is to be controlled with just one controller.

Can the LMC controller also synchronize multiple drives?

The LMC controller is also able to synchronize multiple drives. In addition, further drives can be connected to the remaining motor outputs, which can be operated independently of the drive group to be controlled synchronously.

Are several control parts required for the various movements?

No, it is not necessary. We offer various control panel options, which are equipped, for example, with several pairs of arrow keys for the respective drive groups.
If required, it is still possible to connect two control units to the controller via the Splitter Adapter. This is useful for back-2-back tables, for example.

How does the configuration work?

The LMC controller is configured using the LMC Wizard. Each motor output can be selected individually and adjusted accordingly to the connected drive. In addition, groups consisting of several drives can be defined, which should be moved synchronously, if required.

Is collision detection possible?

Collision detection can also be activated and configured accordingly with the LMC series. This requires the controller to be firmly bolted to the application which may be exposed to collisions under certain circumstances.

Can various types of drives be controlled with just one LMC controller?

Yes, every connected drive can be individually configured using the LMC Wizard, so that different drive types can also be controlled with an LMC controller.
