Motion control or module automation

The control cabinet inverters of the MOVI-C^® modular automation system are connected to the MOVI-C^® CONTROLLER via EtherCAT^®/SBus^PLUS with real-time capability.

The MOVI-C^® CONTROLLER receives target values for single-axis motions or coordinated motions from the higher-level master via the fieldbus. The MOVI-C^® CONTROLLER determines the setpoints for the connected inverters, thereby taking care of tasks such as phase-synchronous operation, electronic cam function and kinematics.

Predefined MOVIKIT^® software modules are used to implement the motion control drive function quickly and reliably with the aid of graphic editors. Thanks to more than 50 kinematic models, a large number of mechanical configurations are already covered. New functions for kinematic models can be custom-made by SEW‑EURODRIVE. Data is stored via a data exchange function on a memory card in the MOVI-C^® CONTROLLER.
