SIMOTION
SIMOTION is a controller available for all machines with motion control tasks, from simple to high-performance. The focus lies on the simple and flexible solution of the widest range of motion control tasks. To satisfy this optimally, a new system concept has been chosen:
The merging of Motion Control with two other control functions, normally present in most machines, PLC and technology functions.
SIMOTION provides three hardware platforms – the controller, the industrial PC and the the drive-based variant. This permits the maximum flexibility for the machine layout. SIMOTION offers a PROFINET interconnection for all platforms. PROFINET meets here the highest demands for the synchronization of drives with regard to the determinism, performance and quantity framework coupled with unlimited openness for standard TCP/IP communications.
