SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES Motion Control
-Technological functions-

The technological functions are integrated in SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES Motion Control; they are available as a software option.

In addition to the technological functions for positioning and synchronization, logical and mathematical blocks (AND, OR, compare, add, subtract, etc.) are available on the MASTERDRIVES MC and can be used freely by the user.

The technological functions and the logical and mathematical blocks can be interconnected by the user via parameters.

Standard configurations are also available here to facilitate configuration and start-up.

SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES MC provides the following technological functions:

Axis types:

• Linear axes
• Rotary axes
• Synchronized axes

Positioning:

• Position controller with feedforward control
• Setup:
  Position controlled traversing of the axis in Jog mode
• Reference point approach
  Referencing of the axis using various methods
• Positioning/MDI (Manual Data Input)
• Simultaneous transfer and starting of a positioning task
• Selection of configured positioning tasks
• Automatic
• Execution of complete positioning programs cyclically or in single-step mode
• Program-controlled output of switching functions (M functions)
• Block change on-the-fly via high-speed input
• Start/read enable via high-speed input

Synchronization:

• Angle synchronization/electronic gearbox
• Long-term stable angle synchronization with a transmission ratio of 1:5 to 32,000:1
• Input of transmission ratio as nominator and denominator in the range from 1 ... 32,000
• Electronic cam disk/table interpolation
• Implementation of complex axis couplings, e.g. flying saw, flying knife
• Table change on-the-fly
• Linear interpolation between profile points
• Coupling/decoupling
• Accurate incremental engaging or decoupling of a slave axis for one machine cycle
• Actuation via high-speed input
• Synchronization
• External synchronization of the slave axis via a high-speed input (e.g. printed marking)
• Master axis
• Internal master axis, position-controlled
• External master axis, external setpoint input
• Virtual master axis, master axis not available, internal generation of master actual value

Cam controller:

• Extremely high-speed switching output
• Free assignment of a setpoint or actual value position
• Two cam controllers with two cams each
