The Motion Control concept from Baumüller
puts the main focus on the user’s
manufacturing process. Machine functions
can be planned without functional
knowledge of the system using Motion
Control modules that comply with PLCopen
and the IEC 61131 programming standard.
This gives machine constructors the
freedom to use their core competency
more effectively for the further development
of machine concepts. The amount of
engineering that is required for the
automation and drive system is minimized.

The Baumüller Motion Control
concept
|
Baumüller’s Motion Control
concept reduces the complexity and
the development cost of automation
software in mechanical engineering.
It puts the main focus on the user’s
processes and machine functionality.
This concept allows the machine manufacturer
to concentrate on machine-specific
future technologies and the continuous
further development of their machine
functionality in the software –
and increasing the manufacturer’s
competitive edge.
The planning of Single Axis and
Multi Axis functionality in accordance
with “PLCopen Motion Control”
is only carried out using the relevant
function module libraries from a technological
point of view.
|
|
The standard IEC 61131 programming languages
are used. The system functionality that
is required for motion management, field
bus communication and drives is integrated
in the operating system of the Baumüller
b maXX automation system using a communication
and motion manager.
This leads to a considerable reduction
in complexity and development cost, since
special drive, field bus or communication
programming is no longer required for Motion
Control applications.
The main focus is on the user’s process
and machine functionality. The machine manufacturer’s
development expenditure can be much more
closely oriented to customer benefit and
market advantages again.

Integrated tools and fully encapsulated
functionality for synchronous movements
The Motion Control Multi Axis engineering
tools are fully integrated into the development
environment. The axis configuration tool
that is needed for Single Axis functions
is supplemented by a data record manager
for the cam disk function. The data record
manager creates the associated data records
from graphically displayed cam profiles
and deals with data record downloading to
the PLC in the drive. User-defined cams
are individually designed and stored using
the cam disk editor. They are then available
to the controller via the cam disk Multi
Axis command.

The functionality has been consistently
divided up into partial areas from a user
point of view. Even with complex machines
and systems, this provides transparent and
comprehensible automation and drive systems.
ProCAM cam disk editor
 |
ProCAM cam generation in accordance
with the VDI 2143 movement laws ProCAM
is a graphical design tool for producing
electronic cam disks. Complex movements
can be subdivided into individual,
successive movement sequences using
this tool, the transitions of which
are achieved smoothly by entering
the transition conditions.
Mechanical cam disks can be exactly
reproduced using the editor and subjected
to further development in a simple
way. This is easier on the mechanical
system and increases the availability
of the machine.
|
- Design in accordance with the
VDI 2143 movement laws
- Display of velocity, acceleration
and jerk
- Run through of the derivation
window with a measuring cursor,
display of the relevant physical
values in a measuring window
- Scaling in physical units, depending
on the selected master velocity,
acceleration and jerk per cam section
- Import and export of existing
CAM profiles (as .csv file)
- Export of interpolation points
in a .csv file or a .txt file
- Direct import into the PROPROGwt
II data record manager for downloading
to the controller.

ProPLC I/O configuration tool
 |
ProPLC is a graphical tool with which
I/O modules can be inserted from a
list using Drag & Drop.
A symbolic setting of I/O names
is performed automatically and taken
over into the application software.
This avoids duplicate entries and
planning errors.
|
- Simple configuration using Drag
& Drop
- Convenient module selection from
a list
- Easy to expand
- Immediate transfer of symbolic
names into the application
- Clear module arrangement

Scope of functions of the Motion
Control Multi Axis library
|
The library is comprised of Multi
Axis blocks (coupled commands) conforming
to the PLCopen standard and supplementary
function blocks.
As a system supplement the Multi Axis
functionalities are based on the Single
Axis programming library. Motion Control
Multi Axis allows the coupled synchronous
path motion of several axes.
In addition to the basic cam disk
function there are also new function
blocks available providing the functionalities
of electronic gear unit, superimposed
positioning, master phasing, and virtual
master axis.
Axis couplings of the master and
slave are executed in the command
and are implemented by the system
synchronously. The function blocks
are always used in connection with
a synchronous bus system. No bus-specific
knowledge is required.
