12.1.1 Tasks
The MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio engineering software enables you to perform the fol-
lowing tasks with consistency:
• Establishing communication with devices
• Executing functions with the devices
12.1.2 Communication channels
The SEW Communication Server is integrated into the engineering software
MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio for establishing communication with the devices.
The SEW Communication Server allows you to create communication channels. Once
the channels are established, the devices communicate via these communication
channels using their communication options. You can operate up to 4communication
channels at the same time.
MOVITOOLS
