Motion Control Engineering

For intuitive and efficient engineering of simple to complex motion control tasks, SIEMENS offers the holistic engineering framework TIA Portal. Thanks to the technology objects with comprehensive motion control functions integrated in all SIMATIC controllers and the basic motion control functions included in all SINAMICS servo drives, the engineering of controller and/or drive-based motion control solutions is a simple matter. Best of all, you don't have to start from scratch. You can use predefined standard application examples that provide you with a template and significantly reduce your development time.

Engineering of drives

 

How can the various components such as PLC, HMI and drives be projected, parameterized, configured, optimized and supported in terms of safety for the automation of a machine?

With SINAMICS Startdrive, an integral part of the TIA Portal Engineering Platform, the uniform operating concept and the reduction of interfaces enable rapid integration of SINAMICS drives into the automation landscape. In addition, the entire motion control system can be commissioned and optimized via the TIA Portal.

Control of single axes - controller based

 

Are you looking for a simple and efficient solution to implement continuous and cyclic axis movements in your production machine? Or do you want to develop a holistic motion control solution that is specifically tailored to your requirements? The implementation of new machine concepts or the modernization of existing ones represents a major challenge, especially in terms of flexibility, efficiency and future viability. With so many different motion control system components and solutions on the market, it can be difficult to make the right choice. In addition, the high complexity in the engineering of motion control components and solutions results in further challenges. Our solutions make it possible to realize your specific requirements and develop a customized motion control solution.

Control of single axes - drive based

 

The SINAMICS drive system offers an integrated basic positioning functionality called EPOS. This function allows for absolute and relative positioning of single linear and rotary axes with motor or machine encoder. The EPOS function is engineered using TIA Portal/Startdrive, enabling easy integration into the existing system. By utilizing the EPOS function, additional axes can be driven by the same PLC without consuming additional calculation resources. This reduces the load on the controller, potentially allowing for the selection of a smaller and more cost-effective PLC.

Control of coordinated axes

 

Are you looking for a solution to implement and coordinate complex movements in your production machine quickly and easily? Or do you want to develop a holistic motion control solution that is tailored to your specific requirements? The planning and programming of coordinated axes and thus complex movements is a major challenge, especially if no simulation options are available to illustrate the axis dependencies. Our solution makes it possible to develop a simple and consistant motion control solution for your complex axis movements in your specific production machine.

Control of flexible carrier systems

 

Do you need an intelligent solution to make your machine concept more dynamic, precise and flexible? Do you want to implement an intelligent transport system with a multi-carrier system or a planar motor system to increase throughput in your production process? The devolopment and implementation of flexible transportation systems and solutions can be a complex task. In addition, programming requires extensive effort, especially when different process stations, individual travel paths for each product and collaborative tasks with additional axes or robots need to be taken into account. Our solutions help you develop an intelligent transport system solution that is tailored to your exact requirements.
