Motion Control Function Block Library (dwOPTION -36)

For multi-axis motion control of all types of drives - AC drives, DC drives, servos, steppers, hydraulic, linear actuator, etc., in a wide variety of general industrial position control applications including:
  • Pick & place machines
  • Packaging machines
  • Painting robots
  • Cut to length
  • Automated assembly processes

A key requirement for numerous machine controls.

motion control Stepper Drive Controllers

These stepper drive controller options are available for most versions of the smarty. Both options include:

  • 2 channels of pulse & direction
  • 2 fast event inputs for count reset
  • 64-bit pulse counts
  • Automatic datum reset
  • Easy set up
  • Selectable count persistence with “clear on power up”

In a typical open loop stepper drive application, the “Position” parameter (derived from the pulse count) can be used to close the position control loop.

Motion Control FBL - Open Loop Stepper

In a typical closed loop stepper drive application the position feedback can be provided by an encoder. The dwOPTION -42-45 encoder module also has two fast event inputs for auto count reset.
