The basic available command library of the run-time system (RTS-RTS) of a universal motion control (combined SPS/NC control) can be expanded dynamically and according to the user's specific requirements by loading technology packets TP (with corresponding technology object types TO). Thus, a dynamic scaling of a universal motion control UMC is possible. Due to a consistent integration and communication platform API, the functionality of extremely prepared technology packets TP can also be integrated into the control.

Universal motion control

The integration of a programmable logic controller (PLC) and a motion control (NC) into a universal motion control (UMC) is realized by a tailored and nonetheless essentially user-configurable run-level model for processing of software tasks. This run-level model consists of types of different user levels and system levels with different priorities. In particular, one of the run levels (FA) can be configured very effectively according to user requirements. Thus, this kind of universal motion control (UMC) can be optimized by software to the particular requirements of the control task and the technical process.
