Soft Motion and Soft Master are Movensys' original software-based EtherCAT motion control solution which leads the Industry 4.0
Soft Motion
Soft Motion
Soft Motion is unique software-based technology originally developed in-house by Movensys. Soft Motion is optimized for high speed, multi-axes motion control for various manufacturing equipment without additional control board, PLC or standalone controller.
Features
- Advanced motion profile support and synchronization with many motors
- Adjustable memory usage according to requirements
- Dynamic memory allocation enables unlimited real-time sequence as well as advanced controls
- Real-time operation at Windows PC (Refer to the picture)
=> Separate execution of real-time kernel from Windows by allocating dedicated CPU core.
Motion control and communications are performed on top of real-time kernel.
Benefits
1. High speed sequence and data update- High speed data communication enables improved equipment sequence and update- Advanced motion control and performance(efficiency, takt time)
- Real-time operation of sequences
2. Optimizing PC resource with flexible system
- Modular architecture enables optimization of PC resource and helps building flexible control system3. Simplified secondary development- User-friendly system interface for developing customized motion control engine4. Easy maintenance and adding features5. Reduced PC size with cost saving- Being a software solution, PC size is reduced and the cost of purchasing additional hardware type board is eliminated.
6. Simulation with Soft Motion
- Development phase and resources can be minimized with the help of 3D simulator showing equipment operation status
7. Minimized Cabling Clutter- Footprint and cost are reduced thanks to simple cable
8. Smart Factory- Integration of Soft Motion and Edge Computing
- Real-time data collection enables the analysis of equipment lifetime expectancy, increases manufacturing process,
and optimizes diagnosis of production related
