The ServoWire Motion & Logic Controller (SMLC) is designed to provide a tightly integrated, low cost solution by combining the vendor’s ServoWire Soft Motion technology with standard IEC 61131-3 programming for motion and I/O control.
Best-of-breed components provide the advantages of PC-based control in a unit that features flash memory for application program storage, battery backed RAM for nonvolatile data storage and no hard disk. The all-digital ServoWire SM Drives provide support for a variety of actuator technologies, including brushless rotary and linear motors, DC brush motors and voice coils. For general purpose I/O, the vendor has partnered with Wago to integrate its 750 Series Profibus DP, Ethernet and Firewire networked I/O. The QNX Neutrino from QNX Software Systems serves as the SMLC real time operating system. The vendor has also partnered with Smart Software Solutions to integrate ServoWire Soft Motion technology with CoDeSys IEC 61131-3 software. CoDeSys covers all five IEC 61131-standard compliant languages. PLCopen Motion Control function blocks have been implemented, with various enhanced features, for motion control programming.
