Three (3) Automation Libraries are now available to simplify interfacing Lexium MDrive® integrated motors with popular PACs and PLCs from Siemens, Rockwell, and Schneider Electric. The library add-on instructions (AOI) for motion control are available to download for free at https://motion.schneider-electric.com/dloads/automation-libraries/
AOIs reduce the work of writing software programs to execute move profiles such as:
Relative and absolute moves
Jogging
Homing
Read inputs
Write outputs
Applicable for communications between Ethernet TCP/IP Lexium MDrive products and:
Rockwell RSLogix 5000
Siemens S7 series
Schneider SoMachine and SoMachine Motion
These tools can increase your code efficiency and decrease your development time. Configuration files (EDS & GSDML) and sample programs also help to streamline initial set-up and programming.
Lexium MDrive® products with integrated 1.8° 2-phase stepper motors (rotary and linear), onboard drive electronics, controller and encoder, can reduce machine complexity, size and cost in many motion applications. Products with fully programmable motion controller may be operated in several modes including closed-loop, torque control, and variable current control for energy savings and reduced heating.
