Device properties
4.1.1
Controller
The device includes a programmable logic controller with motion control functionalities.
These functionalities are described as "motion control software" in the following text. The
controller has volatile and non-volatile memory for the operating system, the data and the
device project with the user program.
It can be used for logic and motion control of intelligent drives.
User programs can be programmed in the main IEC 61131-3 languages. The software
CODESYS is used to program the PLC functionality. The motion control software runs as a
stand-alone task.
The motion control software can also access inputs and outputs on networked servo ampli-
fiers from the PMC product area.
The device has fieldbus interfaces for communication with the periphery.
An LED provides information about the controller's operating states.
4.1.2
Visualisation
The device has a memory in which visualisation software can be installed. With the help of
this software, processes can be shown on the display and directly influenced via the touch-
screen. A fieldbus interface (CANopen), Ethernet (e.g.: Modbus), PROFIBUS, EtherCAT
and a RS232 interface are available for the transfer of data, e.g. diagnostic data, and for
communication with other subscribers.
The device is equipped with a battery-buffered real-time clock. Only Pilz can exchange the
battery.
