TC1250 | TwinCAT 3 PLC/NC PTP 10

Extension of the TwinCAT 3 PLC TC1200 by the possibility to realize point-to-point movements in software (TwinCAT 3 Motion Control PTP 10). The axes are represented by axis objects and provide a cyclic interface, e.g. for the PLC. This axis object is then linked to a corresponding physical axis. In this way the most diverse axis types with the most diverse fieldbus interfaces can be connected abstractly with the axis objects, which always offer an identical configuration interface. The control of the axes can be configured in various combinations (position or speed or torque interface). The axes are configured in TwinCAT 3 Engineering.

Features

• up to 10 axes, extendable up to a maximum of 255 axes
• supports electrical and hydraulic servo drives, frequency converter drives, stepper motor drives, DC drives, switched drives (fast/slow axes), simulation axes and encoder axes
• supports the most diverse fieldbus interfaces such as EtherCAT (CoE, SoE)
• standard axis functions such as start/stop/reset/reference, velocity override, master/slave couplings, electronic gearing, online distance compensation
• programming is carried out via PLCopen-compliant IEC 61131-3 function blocks
• convenient axis commissioning options
• online monitoring of all axis state variables such as actual/setpoint values, enables, control values
• online axis tuning
• configuration of all axis parameters, such as measuring system, drive parameters and position controller
• configurable controller structures: P control, PID control, PID with velocity pre-control, PID with velocity and acceleration pre-control
• online master/slave and slave/master conversion
• flying saw
• cam plates (supported by TwinCAT 3 CAM Design Editor [optional])
• flexible implementation of customer-specific motion profiles with external setpoints from the PLC
• multi-master coupling
• PLC library OMAC PackML
