SoftMotion Axis Groups/CNC Interpolators (5)

CODESYS SoftMotion Axis Groups/CNC Interpolators expands the functionality of CODESYS Control SL systems from pure logic motion control to include support for CNC and robotics.
This is an application-based license; it requires at least the application-based license CODESYS Control Standard S for the control.
5 axis groups or CNC interpolators can be used with this product .
The CODESYS SoftMotion Package can be downloaded using the CODESYS Installer. The release notes are published on the CODESYS website.

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

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
