Motion Control Requirements
The Logix approach to motion control employs synchronized, distributed processing and provides a highly-integrated motion solution. The Logix system integrates discrete and motion control to bring unmatched flexibility to machine design and unprecedented efficiency to the manufacturing floor. RSLogix 5000 Enterprise series software supports a comprehensive set of embedded motion instructions that can be programmed using the relay ladder, structured text, or sequential function chart editors.
- The Kinetix integrated-motion solution uses a SERCOS interface module to perform complex, multi-axis, synchronized motion. With a Kinetix system, you reap the full benefit of the integrated architecture because the integration doesn’t stop at the controller. This system integrates the drive, the motor, and even the actuator at a lower cost per axis of motion. Use the same RSLogix 5000 programming software to configure, program, and commission your application.
- Networked motion provides the ability to connect via the DeviceNet network to a single-axis drive to perform simple, point-to-point indexing. You need Ultraware software for drive and indexing configuration.
