SIMOTION with PROFINET

SIMOTION is a controller available for all machines with motion control tasks, from simple to high-performance. The focus lies on the simple and flexible solution of the widest range of motion control tasks. To satisfy this optimally, a new system concept has been chosen:

The merging of Motion Control with two other control functions, normally present in most machines, PLC and technology functions.

SIMOTION provides three hardware platforms – the controller, the industrial PC and the variant integrated in the closed-loop control module of the drive. This permits the maximum flexibility for the machine layout. SIMOTION offers a PROFINET interconnection for the PC-based (SIMOTION P) and for the drive-based variant (SIMOTION D). PROFINET meets here the highest demands for the synchronization of drives with regard to the determinism, performance and quantity framework coupled with unlimited openness for standard TCP/IP communications.
