NT control software simplifies tube machinery
Automated tube bending machinery maker Eurobend has reduced hardwiring, programming and the number of PLC units in machine build by using Hayes Control Systems' Beckhoff TwinCAT PC software
Free CD demos control software
Hayes Control Systems is launching a new CD which contains a free 30 day version of Beckhoff's TwinCAT 2.6, the software system for PLC and NC motion control functions under Windows NT.
The combination of CX1030, EtherCAT and TwinCAT enables very fast control processes in the sub-millisecond range (eXtreme Fast Control Technology).
The existing devices are complemented by the new CX9010, CX1010 and CX1030 models that offer higher-performance CPUs with maximum hardware and software compatibility with the earlier models.
The CX1030 extends the CX series with a high-performance 1.8GHz Intel Pentium M CPU.
The CPU is cooled via the passive cooling module and an easily exchangeable fan cartridge located on the underside of the housing.
In addition to the CPU and the chipset, the CX1030 module also contains 256Mbyte DDR RAM as standard, expandable to 512Mbyte or 1Gbyte.
The controller boots from the Compact Flash.
The basic configuration of the CX1030 includes a 64Mbyte Compact Flash card and two Ethernet RJ 45 interfaces.
These are connected to an internal switch and offer a simple option for creating a line topology without the need for additional Ethernet Switches.
All other CX family components can be connected via the PC/104 interface that is available on both sides.
The operating system can be Windows CE or Windows XP Embedded.
The TwinCAT automation software transforms a CX1030 system into a powerful PLC and motion control system that can be used with or without visualisation.
The CX1030 can also be used for interpolating axis movements with TwinCAT NC Interpolation.
Further system interfaces or fieldbus connections can be added to the basic CPU module.
All CX1500 fieldbus modules can be used in combination with the CX1030.
The CX1100-001x power supply units offer a direct interface between the CX1030 and the Beckhoff I/O system in protection class IP20 and IP67.
The I/O interfaces are available for the bus terminals, EtherCAT terminals and the Fieldbus Box modules.
