Highly validated high-end motion control system
When modularity, high precision, and speed requirements arise in mechanical manufacturing applications, SIMOTION, a modular and scalable motion control system with high-end functionality, is the preferred choice. Whether requiring a cycle time of 125 μ s or implementing machine concepts with centralized, decentralized, or hybrid topologies, SIMOTION with scalable hardware can largely meet the requirements. Especially the combination of several controllers can synchronize hundreds of axes while ensuring optimal production capacity of the machine. Through a modular TO object approach, SIMOTION provides highly flexible, time-saving, and cost-effective engineering development. Object oriented programming and programming patterns with units and libraries enable the creation of reusable software modules and efficient control of complex multi axis machines.
Perfectly integrated into digital processes: With SIMOSIM, SIMOTION enables software testing during program development without the need for hardware. The connection between simulation software such as SIMIT and SIMOTION facilitates virtual debugging of machines. SIMOTION can be connected to the cloud through OPC-UA. For example, using MindConnect IoT2040 to directly connect to MindSphere for status monitoring and predictive maintenance.
Drive digitalization
Object oriented programming (OOP)
Currently, even minor changes in machine functionality require validation of the entire code. Object oriented programming (OOP) makes this process more efficient: machine control is composed of a combination of objects, whose modular design is mapped to software through OOP. Objects can be combined according to requirements and can be reapplied to new machines. Due to the inheritability of the code, software testing work is greatly reduced and engineering efficiency is improved.
OPC UA
The amount of data exchanged between machines and across the entire automation hierarchy is steadily increasing, and the inconsistency of interfaces makes this process complex and time-consuming. OPC UA changed everything: as an internationally established communication standard, it allows for consistent data exchange from the machine level to the cloud, independent of platforms and manufacturers.
The OPC UA server is integrated into SIMOTION software and can be integrated into any automation system.
SIMOSIM
SIMOSIM is a simulation tool integrated into engineering systems that can be used for software testing during program development without the need for additional hardware, and includes all axes and kinematic objects.
For machine manufacturers, this means software that is essentially error free and significantly reduces debugging time. Even if on-site adjustments are needed, simulation software can be used for testing first, which will greatly shorten downtime.
Flexible design for high-performance solutions
Simplify engineering development
SCOUT engineering software can complete motion control, PLC, and process tasks in an integrated system, and provide all necessary tools from programming and configuration, testing and debugging to diagnosis.
Excellent device selection from driver to controller: Siemens driver selection tool SIZER greatly simplifies process configuration, supporting each step of selection through mechanical system description and design of frequency converters, motors, and gear units.
Integrated into TIA Portal
SCOUT TIA is integrated into the fully integrated automation TIA Portal, enabling seamless programming from the controller to the HMI. This enables the utilization of all motion control functions of SIMOTION, including its deeply integrated drive technology.
SIMOTION IT: Internet access technology
Based on the SIMOTION integrated web server function, machine status diagnosis, machine maintenance, and debugging can be achieved. This feature provides many options to access the process data of the machine, which only requires an Ethernet cable and a computer with a web browser installed.
SIMOTION high-performance industrial solutions
By using industry-specific libraries and project generator S I M O T I O N easyProject, development work can be greatly simplified and standard modules can be integrated into user projects. You can find pre configured industry-specific software modules in the toolkit. This enables you to tailor solutions for your application in a short amount of time, thereby reducing costs and ensuring high engineering efficiency.
