5.4. Using Motion Libraries for PC-based Systems

A TML Library for PC is a collection of high-level functions allowing you to control from a PC a
network of Technosoft intelligent drives. It is an ideal tool for quick implementation on PCs of
motion control applications with Technosoft products.
With the TML Motion Library functions you can: communicate with a drive / motor via any of its
supported channels (RS-232, CAN-bus, etc.), send motion commands, get automatically or on
request information about drive / motor status, check and modify its setup parameters, read inputs
and set outputs, etc.
The TML Motion Library can work under a Windows or Linux operating system. Implemented as
a .dll/.so, it can be included in an application developed in C/C++, Visual Basic, Delphi Pascal
or Labview.
Using a TML Motion Library for PC, you can focus on the main aspects of your application, while
the motion programming part can be reduced to calling the appropriate functions and getting the
confirmation when the task was done.
All Technosoft's TML Motion Libraries for PCs are provided with EasySetUp.

5.5. Using Motion Libraries for PLC-based Systems

A TML Motion Library for PLC is a collection of high-level functions and function blocks allowing
you to control from a PLC the Technosoft intelligent drives. The motion control function blocks are
developed in accordance with the PLC IEC61131-3 standard and represent an ideal tool for
quick implementation on PLCs of motion control applications with Technosoft products.
With the TML Motion Library functions you can: communicate with a drive/motor via any of its
supported channels, send motion commands, get automatically or on request information about
drive/motor status, check and modify its setup parameters, read inputs and set outputs, etc.
Depending on the PLC type, the communication is done either directly with the CPU unit, or via a
CANbus or RS-232 communication module.
Using a TML Motion Library for PLC, you can focus on the main aspects of your PLC application,
while the motion programming part can be reduced to calling the appropriate functions and
monitoring the confirmations that the task was done.
All these blocks have been designed using the guidelines described in the PLC standards, so
they can be used on any developmemnt platform that is IEC 61136 compliant.
