4.4.22 SoftDrivePLC
4.4.22.1 Overview SoftDrivePLC
For controller version V01.07 and higher a restricted PLC functionality exists in the firm-
ware. Herewith programmable operations and accesses to controller parameters can be
executed.
The SoftDrivePLC enables simple assignments directly on the drive (without needing a
PLC option module).
The SoftDrivePLC of the b maXX drive is provided in two variations
m Standard version (free)
m Full version (extra charge)
Limitations of the standard version compared with the full version
m Only one event task and the default task is possible
m Fastest event task RT0 is not possible
m Length of the executable code within the task is reduced
The program ProProg 5 is used for operation of the full version. The standard version can
be operated with ProDrive as well as with ProProg5.
If the full version is available, an identifier "-Exx-" exists in the device type code at which
xx must be an odd number.
Example:
BM3XXX - XXXX - XXXXX[-X] - XXXXX [-S0X] - XX [-XX] [-E01] [-#XX]
The full functionality of the SoftDrivePLC is available at a controller with this type code.
The SoftDrivePLC is programmed with the ProProg V5.x software in the IEC-61131 lan-
guage Structured Text (ST).
4.4.22.2 Function
With the SoftDrivePLC parameter accesses links can be executed directly at the control-
ler without using a PLC option module.
Typical applications for the SoftDrivePLC:
m Computing of scalar controller parameters
m Access to digital, analog inputs / outputs
m Weighting of controller values
m Error management, etc.
NOTE!
Controllers with full version of the SoftDrivePLC must be ordered explicitly. The Bau-
mueller type code shows whether this functionality is integrated or not.
