MotionStudio
10.1.1 Tasks
The MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio software package enables you to perform the
following tasks with consistency:
• Establishing communication with units
• Executing functions with the units
10.1.2 Establishing communication with units
The SEW Communication Server is integrated into MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio for
establishing communication with the units.
The SEW Communication Server allows you to create communication channels.
Once the channels are established, the units communicate via these communication
channels using their communication options. You can operate up to four communication
channels at the same time.
Depending on the unit and its communication options, the following communication
channels are available:
• Serial (RS485) via interface adapters
• System bus (SBus) via interface adapters
• Ethernet
•EtherCAT
• Fieldbus
• PROFIBUS DP/DP-V1
•S7-MPI
10.1.3 Executing functions with the units
MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio enables you to perform the following functions with consis-
tency:
• Setting parameters (e. g. in the parameter tree of the unit)
•Startup
• Visualization and diagnostics
• Programming
The following basic components are integrated into MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio,
allowing you to use the units to execute functions:
• MotionStudio
• MOVITOOLS
®
All functions communicate using tools. MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio provides the right
tools for every unit type.
