Abstract
The parameterization information needed in a universal motion controller UMC (description of system variables, alarms, and commands) is generated from a uniform description language via a central converter (U) and distributed to the engineering system (ES1-ES4), run time system (RTS1-RTS4), and output media (AM) for documentation. This ensures the consistency of parameterization data for all system parts. In addition, configuration information (FWK) from technology packets (TP) can be imported into the engineering (ES1-ES4) and run time RTS1-RTS4) systems of the controller.
Claims7
A motion controller having an engineering system and a run time system, and that functionally combines the classic tasks of a PLC and a numerical controller, comprising:
- a uniform run level model comprising a plurality of run levels of different types having differing priorities and further comprising a plurality of user and system-levels having differing priorities;
- a data source for description information for one of the group consisting of system variables, alarms and commands;
- and
- a converter coupled to the data source and to at least the engineering system;
- and
- wherein the data source provides description information to the engineering system via the converter;
- the motion controller being further configured to permit a technology packet to be loaded into at least one of the engineering and run time systems, to provide the system variables with current data for the technical process from the run time system, and to permit input to be made via a user interface of the engineering system.
