Everything from single to multi-axis movements to CAMs can be developed together with the logic application directly in the familiar IEC 61131-3 programming environment. A motion controller with CODESYS SoftMotion implements the motion functionality in form of a tool kit integrated in the PLC Development System.
The Runtime System CODESYS Control SoftMotion has to be implemented on a motion controller in order to be able to program it with the CODESYS SoftMotion tool kit.
Platform requirements:
- has to be supported by CODESYS Control (recommended min. 32 bit with FPU).
- needs sufficient performance for the calculation of the position, velocity and acceleration data.
- needs hard real time properties with low jitter values.
When working with CODESYS SoftMotion controllers the user has many different options when it comes to implementing his motion tasks. For example, he can make use of the provided certified PLCopen motion POUs and appreciate the full functionality of the IEC 61131-3 Development System.
Here you find further information about CODESYS SoftMotion CNC+Robotics.
- Certified PLCopen POUs for single and multi-axis movements
- Certified PLCopen POUs for add-on functions like diagnostics, stop, CAM controller
- Additional POUs for different tasks like monitoring dynamic data or following error, operating CAMs and CAM controllers
- Visualization templates to quickly and easily commission the POUs using the CODESYS visualization
- Visualization elements which make it possible to change the CAMs and the CAM controllers online
- Integrated graphical CAM editor with extensive configuration options
- Virtual and logical axes supported
- Integrated drivers for numerous CAN, CANopen® and EtherCAT® drives
- Configuration of the drives as standard field devices
- Example CODESYS SoftMotion projects
Typical Applications
- Pick&Place Application:
Using PLCopen POUs to position (pick) and belt-synchronously place an object on a moving target, visualizing the process with the appropriate visualization templates - Labelling / CAM Application:
CAM editor, PLCopen POUs and virtual axis used as king pin, various visualization templates, CANopen servo drives, touch probe / latching functionality - Injection Moulding Machine:
Realized with PLCopen POUs and other SoftMotion-specific functions such as on-the-fly switching from position control to torque control.
