The TML_LIB_X20 motion control library embeds the Technosoft drives intelligence into a BandR PLC environment.
The library is a collection of high-level functions and blocks allowing control of the Technosoft intelligent drives from a BandR PLC.
It works with BandR's Automation Studio v3.0 SP3.
With TML_LIB functions, the user can control Technosoft drives individually or grouped, by sending commands for simple (TS_Moveabsolute), complex (TS_SetPVT, TS_PVTPoint, and so on) or synchronised (TS_Gearin) moves.
The library is completed by several non-motion driving functions and blocks necessary for drive management (TS_Power or TS_Readstatus).
All library functions have been designed using the guidelines described in the PLC standards for motion control, so they can be integrated on any development platform that is IEC-61131-3 compliant.
Using TML_LIB directly from the PLC, the user can communicate with the drive via CAN-bus, to send motion commands, to get information automatically or on request about drive status and to check or modify the drive parameters.
In this way, TML_LIB_X20 allows the user to focus on the main aspects related to a specific application, and to use the drive and execute motion commands by calling the appropriate functions from the library.
Beside the functions presented in the PLC standards, the library also contains functions that implement specific features found only on the Technosoft drives (TS_MovePVT).
The control features of the company's intelligent drives are based on their high-level programmability in TML (Technosoft Motion Language), a common programming platform for all these drives.
Thus, TML_LIB_X20 offers access to TML functionality, without needing to write any TML commands.
Therefore, TML_LIB_X20 is a tool for a quick implementation, on a BandR PLC, of motion control applications with Technosoft products.
