SIMOTION C230-2, 04.2003 Edition
System integration
SIMOTION offers an optimized system platform for automation and drive solutions
where priority is given to motion control applications and technological tasks.
The SIMOTION modular system consists of the Engineering System SIMOTION
SCOUT and a shared runtime system for various hardware platforms.
The truly innovative aspect of SIMOTION is that it does away with the traditional
separation between pure automation functions and motion functions.
Further technology
functions
(e.g. pressure control,
temperature control)
Motion control
(e.g. positioning,
synchronous operation,...)
Logic
The system approach of
SIMOTION
The fusion of motion control, logic
and other technology functions.
Fig. 1-1 System solution for production machines
Individual automation tasks for production machines are formulated in a uniform
and consistent user interface. Logic and motion functions are programmed in this
graphic programming tool. The logic commands can also be programmed using the
structured text (ST) high-level language that complies with IEC 1131.
Technological tasks such as positioning or synchronous operation are available as
functions that are simple for you to incorporate in the program, as are the logic
commands too.
Consistency in the three areas of programming and project design, data manage-
ment and communication is the core feature of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA).
