OverviewΒΆ
The PS552-MC is a Motion Control software to create Motion Control applications based on Function Blocks according to the standard of PLCopen Motion Control PLCopen. These Function Blocks can be used for Central Motion Control as well as for drive-based Motion Control axis implementations.
Use of PLCopen Function Blocks for different axis implementations provided by PS552-MC
The Central Motion Control axis implementation covers a wide range of possible Motion Control functionalities starting from single axis movements to master-follower axes to perform electronic gearing and CAM functions up to coordinated Motion Control in cartesian coordinates with optional kinematic transformations to realize even a portal or robotic application.
There are different drive-based Motion Control implementations for specific ABB drives. PLCopen Function Blocks can be used to control the motion capabilities of the drives from AC500 PLC.
This documentation contains the following chapters:
Overview
In the subsequent chapters general informations are provided for a better understanding of Motion Control with AC500 PLC and PS552-MC. There is also an overview of the available PLCopen Function Blocks and their compatibility with central Motion Control and the provided drive-based Motion Control axis implementations.
PLCopen
The principle of the PLCopen Motion Control standard will be explained as well as how PLCopen Function Blocks can be used to create PLC Motion Control application programs.
Central Motion Control (PLC-Based)
This chapter explains how PLC-based central Motion Control with AC500 can be realized and how it can be used in combination with the available PLCopen Function Blocks.
Drive-Based Motion Control
Different realizations for specific drives and modules are introduced and explained. Drive or module dependent restictions as well as device dependent commissioning instruction are given.
PLCopen Function Blocks
This chapter covers the documentation of all included PLCopen Motion Control Function Blocks of this product.
