SIMOTION is the Motion Control System from Siemens for applications with complex motion control. It is part of the automation portfolio in addition to SIMATIC and SINUMERIK. SIMOTION enables the scalable handling of comprehensive motion functions and PLC and technology functions in a motion control system on several hardware platforms and with a common engineering system. SIMOTION provides significantly more flexibility in machine planning and engineering. This further optimizes the overall costs for machine development.
Design
The SIMOTION system has three components:
- Engineering system
The engineering system enables Motion Control, logic, and technology tasks to be solved in a single integrated system, and also provides all of the necessary tools, ranging from programming and parameter assignment to testing and commissioning to diagnostics. - Runtime Software Modules
These modules provide the various Motion Control and technology functions. By choosing suitable modules, system functionality can be customized for a particular machine. - Hardware platforms
Hardware platforms complete the SIMOTION Motion Control system. The application that was developed using the engineering system and the associated Runtime Software Modules can be used on different hardware platforms, enabling selection of the most suitable platform for the machine.
Innovative system approach
The basis is an innovative system approach which ensures utmost flexibility. Motion Control functions are combined with PLC and technological functions to form a system.
Benefits:
- More user-friendly engineering and increased machine performance
- No time-critical interfaces between individual components
- User-friendly homogeneous programming and diagnosis (from HMI …through to drives) using a single tool
