Motion control or module automation
If the control cabinet inverters of the MOVI-C® modular automation system are connected directly (without gateway) to the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER via EtherCAT®/SBusPLUS, they have a real-time-capable connection.
The MOVI-C® CONTROLLER receives target values, e.g. for single-axis 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.
