Description

1.1 System overview

System integration

SIMOTION provides an optimized system platform for automation and drive solutions where the main focus is on motion control applications and technology tasks.

The SIMOTION system is made up of three components:

SIMOTION SCOUT Engineering System

Runtime Software

Hardware platforms

The innovative SIMOTION concept involves integrating pure automation and motion functions, which have been traditionally isolated in the past.

Figure 1-1 System solution

SIMOTION can be used with all machines with motion control tasks. The focus is on a simple and flexible solution to a wide variety of motion control tasks. In order to achieve this in the best way possible, a new system approach has been introduced:

the fusion of motion control with two other control functions, which are found in most machines: PLC and technology functions.

This approach enables motion control of axes and machines with only one system. The same applies to technology functions, such as pressure control of a hydraulic axis. A seamless switch can be made from position-controlled positioning mode to pressure control.
