Software Motion Control Hardware Solution AMR Solution

WMX

WMX is Movensys' software control brand and software-based motion control platform.

Moventecture is a unique technology architecture that enables motion control of equipment on Windows PCs with only software alone.
It helps replacing traditional motion controller boards by reducing complex cablings of legacy hardware based systems. Motion control from a single PC simplifies overall system overhead, and customers can customize real-time control threads according to their requirements for high speed and accuracy.​

Features

  • Based on a real-time operating system, it ensures periodic and real-time control by occupying one or more cores of a multicore CPU.
  • Open Architecture (Moventecture) enables users to develop additional functions that they need, beyond the basic motion functions included in WMX.
  • Easy for users to develop the desired functionality using general programming languages such as C, C++, C#, VB, and Python.
  • Obtained the highest level of EtherCAT Master Class, Class A standard.
  • Supports communication protocols including EtherCAT, CC-Link IE TSN, MECHATROLINK-4 and while simultaneously enabling hybrid control.

Core Technology - Moventecture

Moventecture is an open architecture technology unique to Movensys that optimizes connectivity with other software and networks through modularization for each detailed function of ‘Soft Motion’ and ‘Soft Master’.

모벤텍쳐 설계도 이미지
  • Stable real-time implementation
    • Maintain to regularity by storing the control commands of windows in each memory channel and buffer and transmitting the commands according to the cycle
    • Possible to fast and accurate control calculation through the same control signal and language regardless of network
    • Possible to stable control by automatically updated at precise intervals on the real-time OS
    • Freedom to configure the sequence by setting the cycle you want
  • Multi-network
    • Possible to various network matching only by changing the interface since the control module and the communication module are separated
    • Utilize hybrid network by defining two or more communication protocols within the interface
  • Program extensibility
    • Possible to optimal linkage with 3rd party programs other than motion control programs
    • Possible to develop and customize your own sequence by providing API library
  • Device reliability and scalability
    • Possible to create and add a separate control device besides general motion
    • Maintain optimal system resources by automatically creating a status monitoring management unit for each device
    • Minimize conflicts between devices by using individual memory and buffers in each device
      * Device: an element or handler that can perform a control operation; Utility
  • High compatibility with hardware
    • Compatible with various slave H/W considering only communication protocol
    • Maximize hardware scalability when using multi-network
