Description
2.1 Field of application
Individual automation tasks for production machines are formulated in a uniform and
consistent user interface. Logic and movement functions are programmed in the SIMOTION
SCOUT graphic programming tool.
Technical tasks such as positioning or synchronous operation are available as functions that
are simple to incorporate in the program, as are logic commands.
Consistency in the areas of programming and project design and data management and
communication is the central feature of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA).
SIMOTION P system architecture
The three hardware platforms (SIMOTION D, SIMOTION P and SIMOTION C) form the
basis of the SIMOTION motion control system. The application created with the SIMOTION
SCOUT engineering system and the associated runtime software modules can be used on
the various SIMOTION hardware platforms.
The advantage of the system architecture for the PC-based SIMOTION P320-3 solution lies
in the fact that both the HMI and the runtime system run on the same hardware. This saves
the cost for an additional HMI station.
