Description
CODESYS SoftMotion Axis Groups/CNC Interpolators enables the operation of axis groups or CNC interpolators.
The CODESYS SoftMotion Axes license must also be purchased for the axes.
For example, if you want to use a PLC to control a 2D portal and a SCARA robot with 4 axes, as well as 2 drives for a conveyor belt and a rotary table, then you need a CODESYS SoftMotion Axes license for 8 axes and a SoftMotion Axis Groups/CNC Interpolators License with number 2.
functionality
- Parameterization of axis groups for predefined kinematics in a separate object
- Integrated motion planning:
- with 3D CNC editor according to DIN 66025 (G-Code) or tabular editor
- with coordinate values for robot positions in different coordinate systems
- Processing of the CNC or robot movement or other motion tasks in the runtime system on the controller together with the IEC 61131-3 logic application
- Online editing of the CNC program in the CODESYS Visualization
Typical applications
- Predefined CNC movements with adjustment by the operator e.g. B. in metal or woodworking machines
- Robot systems such as Scara / tripod / palletizing robots e.g. B. in assembly or assembly automation
Requirements
Programming system | CODESYS Development System V3.5.19.10 or higher |
Runtime system | CODESYS Control V3.5.19.0 or higher |
Supported platforms/devices | All supported by CODESYS

Licensing | Single device license: The license can be used on the controller on which the CODESYS runtime system is installed. The license activation takes place on a software-based license container (soft container) that is firmly tied to the controller. Alternatively, the license can be stored on a CODESYS key (USB dongle). By changing the CODESYS key, the license can be used on another controller. |
Required accessories | Optional: CODESYS Key |
