Motion control software handles multiple languages
Motion Control Products' PLC Open-compliant control software allows users to program using any of the five languages in addition to ACSPL+.
Motion Control Products has enhanced its motion control software to support the IEC61131-3 programming language.
The PLC Open-compliant control software allows users to program using any of the five languages in addition to ACSPL+.
The software provides fully variable mapping that enables flexible bidirectional interfacing, mutual synchronisation and functionality exchange between ACSPL+ and IEC 61131-3 programs.
The addition of full CANopen support allows SPiiPlus motion controllers to be configured as a CANopen Master, according to the DS-402 specification and control up to 64 nodes of motion or I/O.
The free motion control software features simulation and motion machine interface (MMI) tools to minimise setup, tuning and programming time for motion control and PLC applications.
The latest revision of the ADK software also enables advanced two-phase step motor operation in both open and closed-loop modes, when operated by the internal amplifiers of the SPiiPluscm model and MC4U motion control system.
In closed-loop operation the step motors perform to near servo-like performance.
The software provides support for a newly available second TCP/IP Ethernet port on all MC4U products.
Additionally, every component in the MC4U motion control system can now be identified by the MMI.
ACS Motion Control's software also features a simulator tool that models an ideal closed loop servo system, allowing users to logically develop multiaxis controller programs in a PC environment without motion control hardware, improving time to market.
The motion simulator allows simultaneous application development by multiple users, full simulation of all fault conditions and reducing project development time.
The simulator also includes MMI functionality, which provides program and motion management, configuration, system analysis, servo tuning, programming, parameter viewing, I/O monitoring and safety tools.
The motion simulator can be downloaded freely.
