Increased Motion Control Programming Efficiency

摘要

PLCopen standards simplify motion applications' development and quality. Motion control has become a fundamental part of industrial, off-road equipment and other automation applications from simple to mechatronic, and programming motion control has been simplified with the PLCopen motion control specifications and standards. Using standard function blocks, engineers build applications without programming. Motion control applications are increasing and becoming more complex to meet demands for greater system throughput, improved quality, and operational flexibility. The PLCopen motion control function blocks support the user by providing vendor- and platform-independence and reducing overall development time. PLCopen function blocks make it easy for application engineers to apply mechatronic concepts using multiple coordinated drives rather than cumbersome mechanical gearing methods. The standards enable engineers to build applications with higher speeds, faster change overs for flexibility, and improved reliability.
