MOVISUITE® engineering software

With its innovative design of the user interface and optimal user guidance, MOVISUITE® is a future-oriented engineering software from SEW‑EURODRIVE.

The MOVISUITE® engineering software is the operating platform for all hardware and software components of the MOVI‑C® modular automation system. The concept of the user interface enables users to configure, parameterize, as well as start up, and monitor their applications almost intuitively (simple auto startup with MOVILINK® DDI).

Using the various views, the users can switch to the suitable display mode depending on their requirements.

Circle view

In the circle view, for example, single components can be edited in a clear structure.

Tree view

The tree view provides an overview of the entire network. The tree view shows large systems and machines in a clear manner. With various analysis functions (digital scope) already integrated in the standard scope, MOVISUITE® allows for a coordinated position/speed/torque controller for dynamic setting of the applications.

The view can be selected depending on the application and personal preferences; the functionality is identical in both views.

The user interface concept of MOVISUITE® allows the system structure to be arranged using freely definable structure nodes. These structure nodes are displayed with a varying level of detail in the views mentioned above.

The data management has clearly marked transfer directions, and thus is clearly structured during data transmission.

The scan function enables the reading of available devices, and the creation of these devices as projects in MOVISUITE®.

The drive train can be set up from motor to gear unit using the product catalog. Furthermore, encoders, brakes, control modes, and user units can be selected and parameterized.

The data required for the drive train can typically be read off the nameplates of the motor and gear unit and entered, or selected via a catalog function in the engineering software.

Another variant is automatic identification of the gear unit motor data by output of the electronic nameplate stored in the motor encoder. During startup, the engineering software checks whether an electronic nameplate is present in the encoder and suggests the use of this data.

The Scope recording function is available for diagnostic purposes. This enables a diagnostics overview of connected devices and functions. Long-term data acquisition on the engineering PC hard disk is also possible.

Manual mode can be intuitively used for each application via the new interface.
