An engineering tool that guarantees continuous software compatibility is available for programming the three control concepts with PROPROGwt II in accordance with the IEC 61131 standard, whereby it does not matter which hardware the application was originally developed for.
Baumüller developed a new software for drive dimensioning. The user can dimension up to six drives with sizemaXX
Machines and systems are increasingly built on a modular
basis, allowing the use of centralized, decentralized, and hybrid automation
concepts. Manufacturing processes that operate with continuous rapid cycles
(such as the web processing of paper, foils, or textiles) represent
particular challenges to the real-time capability of drive, control, and
fieldbus technologies.
With its b maXX-drivePLC, b maXX-controller PLC, and b
maXX-softPLC controls and its b maXX HMI solutions - from the
text-oriented terminal to the touch panel – Baumüller supports
decentralized, centralized, and hybrid control architectures – based on the
requirements of the application.
The Motion Control concept from
Baumüller puts the main focus on the user’s manufacturing process. Machine
functions can be planned without functional knowledge of the system using
Motion Control modules that comply with PLCopen and the IEC 61131
programming standard.
This gives machine constructors the freedom to use their core competency
more effectively for the further development of machine concepts. The amount
of engineering that is required for the automation and drive system is
minimized.
The Baumüller Motion Control concept
Baumüller’s Motion Control concept reduces the complexity and the
development cost of automation software in mechanical engineering.
It puts the main focus on the user’s processes and machine
functionality. This concept allows the machine manufacturer to
concentrate on machine-specific future technologies and the
continuous further development of their machine functionality in the
software – and increasing the manufacturer’s competitive edge.
The planning of Single Axis and Multi Axis functionality in
accordance with “PLCopen Motion Control” is only carried out using
the relevant function module libraries from a technological point of
view
