Motion Control

Efficient due to low programming effort

Great possibilities with minimal effort: KEB Automation offers the complete package for the realisation of demanding motion control tasks – and all this without a great deal of programming effort on the part of the user. Ready-made function blocks, powerful hardware and more enable motion applications with real-time requirements. The interaction of drive controllers and controllers creates a system solution for motion control that ensures precision and dynamics in machines.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Many years of experience in motion control
  • User-friendly motion control solutions
  • Low programming effort
  • Ready to go with function blocks

 

Function blocks

The standards developed in the field of motion control make it easier to programme controllers and integrate motion control into automation. Whereas in the past, separate software solutions had to be developed for each application, it is now possible to use standard application libraries. This provides a standardised method for programming motion controls, regardless of the specific manufacturer or hardware used. This ensures the interoperability of motion control systems from different manufacturers.

To further simplify motion control tasks, KEB has developed its own function blocks using standards. The function blocks are customised to the specific requirements of motion control and enable customers to implement motion control tasks with reduced programming effort. It also simplifies the implementation of motion profiles and enables systems to be commissioned more quickly. By using the modules, this complexity can be minimised many times over, especially for complex motion control tasks.

The KEB_SMC_Utility includes simple function block for the implementation of axis movement jobs. The axis control FB’s get linked to the drive hardware and allows access to all single or multi axis functions.

MODI:
VELOCITY, POSITIONING_ABSOLUTE, POSITIONING_RELATIVE, SET_POSITION, HOMING, PHASING, GEARING, CAMING

COMBIVIS studio 6

COMBIVIS studio 6 is the intelligent automation suite from KEB. It combines wizard-guided component selection, fieldbus configuration, drive parameterisation and IEC61131-3 project generation. In addition, COMBIVIS is also a powerful integrated development environment that can be used to create complex motion control projects. Thanks to safe inputs and outputs, COMBIVIS studio 6 can also be used for safety-critical motion control applications.

Powerful KEB libraries for motion tasks, communication, PLC functions and more shorten the development time.
