SIMOTION can be used with all machines with motion control tasks. The focus is on a
simple and flexible solution to a wide variety of motion control tasks. In order to achieve this
in the best way possible, a new system approach has been introduced:
Motion control has been combined with two other open-loop control functions found in most
machines: PLC and technology functions.
This approach enables the motion control of axes and machine control within the same
system. The same applies to technology functions, such as pressure control of a hydraulic
axis. A seamless switch can be made from position-controlled positioning mode to pressure
control.
Combining the three open-loop control functions of motion control, PLC and technology
functions has the following benefits:
● Reduced engineering overhead and increased machine performance
● Time-critical interfaces between the individual components are no longer required
● Simple, uniform and transparent programming and diagnostics of the entire machine
