Description
CODESYS SoftMotion Axis Groups/CNC Interpolators enables the operation of axis groups or CNC interpolators.
The axes must be purchased additionally with the CODESYS SoftMotion Axes license. No axes are included in this license.
For example, if you want to use a PLC to control a 2D gantry and a SCARA robot with 4 axes, and also 2 drives for a conveyor belt and a rotary table, then you need a CODESYS SoftMotion Axes license for 8 axes and a SoftMotion Axis Groups/CNC Interpolators license with quantity 2.
Functional principle
-
Parameterization of axis groups for predefined kinematics in a separate object
-
Integrated motion planning:
-
with 3D CNC editor according to DIN 66025 (G code) and tabular editor
-
with coordinate values for robot positions in different coordinate systems
-
-
Processing of CNC motion, robotic motion, or other motion tasks in the runtime system on the controller with the IEC 61131-3 logic application
-
Online editing of CNC programs in CODESYS Visualization
Typical applications
-
CNC motion with modifications by the end user (for example, in metal and woodworking machines)
-
Robotic systems including SCARA, tripod, and palletizing robots such as in assembly and loading automation
