Motion software option
Three versions of the Motion software option are available with different functions.
Control (N) license
The Control license (N option) is a basic license that is included in the scope of delivery of the
MC6 motion controller as standard. It enables flexible programming in accordance with IEC
61131-3 and supports the following languages:
§
Structured Text (ST)
§
Sequential Function Chart (SFC)
§
Continuous Function Chart (CFC)
§
Function Block Diagram (FBD)
§
Ladder Diagram (LD)
§
Instruction List (IL)
SoftMotion (S) license
The SoftMotion license (S option) is based on the Control license and also enables motion
programming with PLCopen-compliant blocks.
The integrated disk cam editor can be used online in the target system and/or offline in the
programming system. Cams can be directly connected to cam disks. In addition, any number of
couplings is possible between virtual and real axes using a cam disk or electronic gear unit.
This license also supports a cam disk change on the fly. Cam data can be an integral part of the
project or be reloaded at run time of the machine.
SoftMotion CNC/Robotics (C) license
The SoftMotion CNC/Robotics license (C option) is based on the SoftMotion license and
enables numerous coordination transformations for typical mechanical systems as well, such
as:
§
6 different gantry drives
