Motion Control via PROFINET - References

Large car body parts are produced at the Ford press plant in Saarlouis (Germany). SIMATIC S7-400 is used as higher-level controller for closed-loop control processes on SIMOTION D. PROFINET ensures high-speed communication. The customer benefits from very short installation and commissioning times, a superior cycle rate resulting from short controller and communication cycles (1ms) and superior spare parts availability.
