Integrated PLC
Overview
The PLC program is created by the machine manufacturer either
at the control or with the PLC development software PLCdesign
(accessory). Machine-specific functions are activated and
monitored via the PLC inputs/outputs. The number of PLC inputs/
outputs required depends on the complexity of the machine.
PLC inputs/
PLC inputs and outputs are available via the external PL 6000 PLC
outputs
input/output systems or the UEC 11x. The PLC inputs/outputs and
the PROFIBUS-DP-capable I/O system must be configured with
the IOconfig PC software.

PLC positioning
All closed-loop axes can be also positioned
via the PLC. PLC positioning of the NC
axes cannot be superimposed on NC
positioning.
Axes can be controlled by the PLC. They are programmed
PLC axes
by M functions or OEM cycles. The PLC axes are positioned
independently of the NC axes.

PLCdesign
(accessory)
The PC program PLCdesign can be used for easy creation of
PLC programs. Comprehensive examples of PLC programs are
included with the product.
