The controller, based on a dual-core CPU, allows OEMs to bundle tasks previously spread across several controllers. Wiring is reduced, and software and commissioning are streamlined.
For simpler applications, a wizard-supported generic application template helps users to create synchronised axis motions in minutes. These are converted automatically into PLC code. For more complex applications, pre-defined functions – such as winding and register control, belt synchronisation and robotic kinematics – are available to simplify the engineering.
