Processing of CNC motion, robotic motion, or other motion tasks in the ctrlX CORE PLC implemented as IEC 61131-3 PLC application. There will be two license options available.
CODESYS SoftMotion Basic enables the control of single-axis and synchronized multi-axis movements (electronic cams, electronic gears).
- Project engineering of motion using PLCopen motion function blocks.
- Implementation of electronic gears, electronic cams.
- Motion profile planning with cam editor.
CODESYS SoftMotion CNC+Robotics enables the control of CNC machines and industrial robots. Due to export regulations the CNC is restricted to 4-axis-kinematics.
- Parameterization of axis groups for predefined kinematics.
- Integrated motion planning: with 3D CNC editor according to DIN 66025 (G code) and tabular editor with coordinate values for robot positions in different coordinate systems.
- CNC motion with modifications by the end user, for example in metal and woodworking machines.
-
Robotic systems including SCARA, tripod, and palletizing robots such as in assembly and loading automation.
