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
The following figures show system configurations with SIMOTION C230-2, C240 and C240 PN.
