Abstract
The basic available command library of the run-time system (RTS1-RTS4) of a universal motion control (combined SPS/NC control) can be expanded dynamically and according to the user's specific requirements by loading technology packets TP (with corresponding technology object types TO). Thus, a dynamic scaling of a universal motion control UMC is possible. Due to a consistent integration and communication platform API, the functionality of extremely prepared technology packets TP can also be integrated into the control.
Claims5
A universal motion control with an engineering system and a run-time system, which functionally combines the classical tasks of a programmable logic controller and a numerical controller, wherein a consistent run-level model is configured, such that it has several run-levels of various types with different priorities, wherein different user levels and system levels are provided, from greatest to lowest priority, and that technology packets (TP) can be loaded on the user side into the engineering system and/or run-time system wherein these packets contain:
- a) code parts, which represent the specifics of the regulations for the run-time system and
- b) a configuration part, which contains the allocation of these code parts to the particular system levels, as well as their processing sequence, where
- c) if necessary, this information of the configuration part can be passed along to the engineering system.
The universal motion controller according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the available command library of the engineering system contains expansion commands in the technology packet (TP) that can be used by the user if needed.
A universal motion controller according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the control has an interface (API) for the introduction of technology object types (TO).
