Easy Motion Control

Easy Motion Control is the flexible and low-cost softwarebased solution for position-controlled tasks with the SIMATIC S7-300/400, C7 and WinAC. Easy Motion Control is comprised of function blocks for the CPU and parameterization software.

Applications include approaching absolute positions or relative traversing, as well as simple gearbox synchronism, both with linear and rotary axes. The application areas include positioning axes and operating axes, as well as feed and transport axes. On-the-fly transition to a new motion is possible.

Easy Motion Control is the obvious choice when 1 to 5 axes per machine are to be traversed. Memory requirements are between 10 and 20 KB for the first axis. Each subsequent axis requires only 1KB

Advantages:

Free choice of drives (except stepper motors)
Standard interface in accordance with PLCopen Motion Control
Can be flexibly integrated into the STEP 7 program
Support for isochronous mode

Mode of operation
The positioning operation is carried out using the function blocks loaded into the CPU. The standardized interface in accordance with PLCopen Motion Control enables simple and seamless integration into the user program

The positioning task can be parameterized and started up comfortably with STEP 7 and the supplied parameterization software. No special motion control language is required.

Different interface modules can be used for encoder acquisition and setpoint output, depending on the application.

Input and output drivers are available for the most frequent interface modules. In addition, universal drivers enable the connection of any actual value and setpoint interfaces
