The Motion Control market faces the problem of maintainability and connectivity using a wide variety of automation solutions and this problem considerably increases the cost of development and installation of the control system. The PLCopen organization has attempted to remedy this problem by releasing a set of standard function blocks for the management of motion control. COPALP implements this set of Motion Control function blocks in a ready to use tool kit within straton®.
COPALP Motion Control Tool Kit
The straton® Motion Control Tool Kit is complete package for manufacturers of control systems and it provides an easy way to implement motion library within the IEC61131 environment. All interfaces are available as function blocks in the straton® Integrated Development Environment, and as ‘C’ APIs in the embedded straton® kernel.
The tool kit ensures a reduce time for the integration and a standard definition for the PLCopen Motion Control function blocks.
