Sept. 1, 2011
SPiiPlusSC (Soft Controller) features sophisticated motion control software that leverages the processing power of modern PC and the connectivity of a real-time open industrial Ethernet network.

SPiiPlusSC enables a standard PC to run the machine host application, the graphical user interface (GUI) and the SPiiPlusSC real-time motion controller and PLC without adding any hardware. It includes its own real-time operating system, runs on one of the multi-core PC processors, and provides high-speed host to controller communication over shared RAM and virtual TCP/IP. It manages all motor drives and I/O processes using one of the standard Ethernet ports of the PC as the EtherCAT master communication. Channel. It is designed for demanding applications including packaging machines, medical body scanners, robotics, solar panel manufacturing, wide format printing and high precision, motion centric machinery. It is available in two versions: the SPiiPlusSC-HP for complex and performance demanding applications with up to 64 axes; and the SPiiPlusSC-LT, an economical version that addresses the needs of one to eight axes cost sensitive applications.
