Lenze provides especially coordinated system components:
• Engineering software
The Lenze Engineering tools
( 22)
on your Engineering PC (Windows® operating system ) serve
to parameterise, configure and diagnose the system. The Engineering PC communicates with
the Controller via Ethernet.
The Lenze engineering tools are available for download at:

•Controllers
The Lenze Controller is available as Panel Controller with integrated touch display and as
Cabinet Controller in control cabinet design.
Cabinet Controllers provide a direct coupling of the I/O system 1000 via the integrated
backplane bus.
•Bus systems
EtherCAT is the standard "on-board" bus system of the Controller-based Automation. EtherCAT
enables the control of all nodes on one common fieldbus.
Optionally, CANopen, PROFIBUS and PROFINET can be used as extended topologies.
With Controllers 3200 C and p500 it is also possible to use EtherNet/IP via the Ethernet
interfaces.
Controllers c300 and p300 are provided with an "on board" CANopen interface (in addition to
EtherCAT).
• Inverter (e.g. Servo-Inverter i700)
"Application software" of the Lenze Controllers
The "application software" of the Lenze Controllers enables the control and/or visualisation of
motion sequences.
FAST technology modules provide for an easy development of a modular machine control in the
»PLC Designer«.
The following "Application Software" versions are available:
•"FAST Runtime"
The sequence control takes place (by logically
combined control signals) in the Controller.
The motion control takes place in the inverter.
•"FAST Motion"
The sequence control and
the motion control take place in the controller.
The inverter merely serves as actuating drive.
Motion applications make special demands on the cycle time and real-time capability of the bus
system between the Controller and the subordinate fieldbus nodes. This is the case, for
instance, if the nodes are to be traversed in a synchronised way or position setpoints are to be
transferred.
• "Visualisation"
The optional
visualisation of the automation system can be used separately or additionally to
"FAST Runtime" or "FAST Motion".
For this purpose, an external monitor panel/display can be connected to the Cabinet Controller
3231 C/3241 C/3251 C.
