Description
CODESYS SoftMotion Axes enables the control of single-axis and synchronized multi-axis movements (electronic cams, electronic gears).
CNC and robotics functionality can be added with a “SoftMotion Axis Groups/CNC Interpolators” license.
Functional principle
-
Engineering of motion control using function blocks
-
Configuration of drives based on the fieldbus support integrated in the CODESYS Development System
-
Separation of application development from drive configuration. The drives in the device tree are accessed symbolically (by name) from the application. Changes in the drive configuration are possible without changing the application.
Typical applications
-
As an additional option for powerful, CODESYS compatible control systems with good real-time behavior (FPU recommended)
-
Actuation of single-axis and multi-axis movements, for example with position and velocity definitions, drive functions, and phase actuation
-
Implementation of electronic cams
