Previous machine Concepts

In previous machines, mechanical components such as cams gearboxes, couplings, line shafts, etc., were mainly used. This meant it was often costly and time-consuming to make mechanical changes. It was difficult to create flexible solutions. Now the obstacles imposed by mechanical components are being lifted by the use of intelligent automation and drive technology.

Intelligent concepts

Intelligent software solutions are increasingly replacing mechanical components with central drive technology. Machine functions are implemented by means of distributed drive technology. Individual movements are coordinated and synchronized by the higher-level control. Functions which were previously implemented with hardware are now integrated into the software. Changing machine requirements such as format changes can be responded to almost at the touch of a button.

Advent of mechatronics

Today "intelligent components" play a key role in modern machine and production plant construction. These "mechatronic components" comprise mechanical components, sensors, actuators, electronic components and software. Today, mechatronic solutions are indispensable in many sectors. The economic success is not in optimizing the sub systems, but in a complete and holistic system approach. With mechatronics a machine or production plant is regarded not only in mechanical terms but as a complete system that integrates mechanical components, electronics, control engineering and software technology.

SIMATIC and SIMOTION

As technology leader, Siemens offers manufacturers of machines and production plants a system platform providing automation without system interruptions. The associated wide-ranging services portfolio extends from application consultancy by competent specialists – with well-founded sector experience – up to commissioning and maintenance by our service specialists.

MC control

For SIEMENS control systems, the total motion functionality is split up into the actual Motion Control system and the drive system. The MC control has the task of processing the specified (motion) program. Within the motion program, both positioning commands can be issued to individual axes as well as commands to synchronize and coordinate several axes (synchronous operation commands). The setpoint positions (interpolation) resulting from the motion commands are fed into the closed-position control and there, compared with the actual positions supplied from the drive system (closed-loop position control). From the resulting following error, by multiplying with the Kv factor, a new speed setpoint (axis velocity) is calculated and transferred to the drive. The speed setpoint can be transferred to the drive system either digitally via PROFIBUS or PROFINET – or as analog signal (+/- 10 V). In addition to the actual motion control functionality, typical PLC functionality can also be integrated into the MC system. Just the same as for a SIMATIC PLC, digital or analog peripheral (I/O) signals can be read-in, processed and the results output again to the peripherals.

Drive system

The task of the drive system is to convert the received speed information into an actual motor speed. A speed and current controller are integrated in the drive system for this very purpose. The motor moves the axis which is traversed to the required target position with the setpoint speed specified by the motion control system. The drive system consists of an converter, motor and encoder. When coupled to a SIEMENS motion control system, the drive system operates exclusively in what is known as the speed mode. Motion control functionality (basic positioner, etc.) possibly integrated in the drive system, in this particular case, cannot be used. Drive systems can also be operated without a higher-level motion control system. The speed can be entered, for instance via an analog potentiometer.

Overview

The demands placed on a control system largely depend on the application. Therefore, SIEMENS offers different systems, which have been designed for different application fields:

SIMATIC

SIMATIC is the tried and proven basis automation system for solutions in all sectors of industrial automation. It consists of standard hardware and software components and offers a wide range of possibilities for customized expansions. For SIMATIC S7, motion control functionality can be integrated using function modules, for example. FM modules have a special functionality, which are generally controlled from the SIMATIC user program via function block calls. Complex motion control solutions can be implemented within a SIMATIC system in this fashion.

SINUMERIK

SINUMERIK control systems are specially designed for machine tools, handling systems and special-purpose machines. SINUMERIK offers the optimum solution for every task in the machine tool sector, using CNC control and drives.

SIMOTION

In addition to SIMATIC and SINUMERIK, there is also SIMOTION, the motion control system for applications with complex motion control which integrates motion control and simple control functionality in one unit. SIMOTION combines the complex handling of motion functions in a scalable motion control system. It comprises the SCOUT engineering system, motion control technology packages and a common runtime system for various SIMOTION hardware platforms.

Technology CPU

The technology CPUs 315/317T -2DP and 317TF -2DP (fail-safe control) are located between the SIMATIC and SIMOTION pillars.

SIMOTION

SIMOTION offers an optimized system platform for automation and drive solutions with the focus on motion control applications and technological tasks. This is achieved through the new universal motion control system. SIMOTION is an integrated motion control system which has been conceived primarily for the automation of production machines. Uniformity and integration is achieved in engineering, programming, communication, data management, the human-machine interface (HMI) - thus encompassing all system components, and of course all the different hardware platforms.

Fusion of PLC and motion control

SIMOTION's innovative approach consists of removing the traditional division between pure automation functions (typically PLCs) and motion functions (motion control). This merging of functionality is implemented in both the hardware and software. With respect to the hardware, this new approach means that the controller must be capable of processing motion functions. On the other hand, a drive system must be able to perform automation tasks. On the software side, the fusion of automation functions and motion functions makes for simpler engineering. This starts with the configuration and continues through parameter assignment and programming. The integration with SIMATIC brings additional advantages as both systems are often operated in one installation. The two systems can be configured and programmed on a standard engineering interface.

Overview

SIMOTION offers an optimized system platform for automation solutions for machines where motion control applications and technology tasks are in the forefront. The motion control system consists of the engineering system SCOUT, the motion control technology packages and a common runtime system for the various SIMOTION platforms.

SCOUT engineering system

The SCOUT engineering system is used for configuring, programming and setting parameters; it is the same system for all hardware platforms. Configuring, programming and setting parameters is either performed by means of graphics or text.

Technology packages

Technology packages contain the software functions that are required for automation in a wide range of different sectors. They expand the basic functionality of the SIMOTION devices to suit individual requirements. Technology packages can be added according to the machine requirements (e.g. synchronous operation, cam).

Hardware platforms

SIMOTION offers flexible solutions - for all requirements - by running on a range of different platforms. With SIMOTION you can freely select between three different platforms: • SIMOTION C - Controller-based • SIMOTION P - PC-based • SIMOTION D - Drive-based

Basis functionality


System architecture The most outstanding feature of the new automation approach is its system architecture. This forms the basis for ongoing system development. The system architecture of SIMOTION especially supports concepts – such as decentralization, different target platforms and distributed intelligence. The software is modular and can be flexibly adapted to the widest range of requirements. Basis functionality

The basis functionality of the device (SIMOTION kernel) includes functions for open-loop and closed-loop control as well as logic and arithmetic. Program execution can be cyclical, time- or interrupt-triggered. As a result, the SIMOTION kernel contains the functions needed for virtually all applications and corresponds in essence to a PLC with the IEC 1131-3 command set plus system functions for controlling various components, such as inputs and outputs.

Technology packages

The SIMOTION kernel can be expanded by loading technology packages. Using additional language commands, the technology packages can be accessed in the same way as the SIMOTION kernel from the user program.

Function libraries

The libraries contain standard functions for frequently performed tasks. In addition to the standard functions supplied, users can also create their own blocks and store them in a library. From Version 4.0, the following libraries have also been integrated as function blocks in the system (TP "Cam"), and can now be directly inserted into the user program from the command library: • Standard functions, for instance PID controllers, driver blocks for special I/O modules • Blocks in conformance with PLCopen to control axes (single and multi-axis blocks)

Engineering system SCOUT

The SCOUT Project navigator is the common framework for all tools of the. engineering system. This workbench is also the navigation center for the individual engineering steps. It is used to create and manage SIMOTION projects and provides a uniform and integrated view of all data and programs. The essential new feature is the graphic programming of the motion sequence using Motion Control Chart (MCC). From SCOUT V4.1, there is also the optional DCC programming language (Drive Control Chart) to create continuous, closedloop control related circuit diagrams to control drives. The technological tree structure of the project includes • all devices (open-loop control, drives etc.), • all technological objects (axes, output cams, cams etc.) and • user programs in hierarchic views that can be filtered. The navigation in the tree structure opens the parameter assignment or programming tool assigned to the selected object. The SIMOTION SCOUT engineering system is a powerful tool that acts as the PC development environment to optimally support the required engineering steps in a user-friendly way. The SCOUT engineering tool is integrated as optional package to STEP 7 in the SIMATIC environment. When developing SCOUT, special attention was given to optimum usability and a comprehensive, function-oriented view of the automation task.

Note

The SCOUT engineering tool is available in two versions: • as a standalone version, without any connection to STEP 7 • as optional package to STEP 7

Programming Languages in SIMOTION

SIMOTION

Date: File:


09.02.2012 MC-SMO-SYS_01.10


Overview

SIEMENS offers a range of task-oriented programming languages for SIMOTION that allow the user to focus on the actual task at hand. SIMOTION's modular design makes it possible to create modular blocks in different languages according to the individual task requirements.

MCC

MCC is a graphic language for creating operational sequences. In particular, this language offers entry-level users support for quick and transparent creation of sequential program sequences in MotionTasks. Any additional ST code can be integrated in the MMC program via the "ST Zoom" command.

LAD/FBD

These programming languages are unparalleled for programming binary signal gating. In addition to the wide range of options in the area of binary signal gating (edge evaluation, flip-flops, etc.), it integrates many other function such as IECcompliant counter and timer blocks. Almost all system functions can be directly called and tested in a network.

ST

Structured Text is a text-based, high-level language similar to PASCAL. ST contains all typical elements of a high-level language such as operators, expressions, control statements, etc. ST supports in particular programming of mathematical algorithms and data administration tasks. Due to the many control structures it offers, ST is also suitable for programming process sequences.

DCC

The Drive Control Chart (DCC) option is a modular, scalable programming language based on the STEP 7 package CFC (Continuous Function Chart), to develop continuous open-loop or closed-loop control solutions for controlling drives.

MCC – Programming Motion Sequences Properties of motion control charts • Graphic language to describe motion sequences in the form of a sequence chain • Complex sequences in automation technology are broken down into individual steps • MCC contains graphic commands for: • Axis movements • Processing I/O signals • Control structures for branches and repeat operations

• Comparable with S7 Graph from STEP 7

Advantages of MCC • Motion sequences can be simply and transparently generated • Even entry-level programmers can attain results quickly • In addition to the fast generation, MCC also provides support when it comes to testing and therefore fast commissioning SIMOTION

Date: File:

Properties of MCC

MCC is a new graphic programming language, designed to significantly simplify the automation of production machines. Many production machines are very complex. They require a control system (SIMOTION) that is capable of handling motion control and technologies with a wide variety of motion functions, as well as PLC functions, arithmetic functions, and data management tasks. MCC is the neutral description tool used to represent a sequence diagram. This sequence diagram is referred to as MCC chart in this document. It provides you with all of the descriptive symbols you will need to define your automation task quickly and efficiently. In addition, MCC offers many ways to structure large automation tasks. Using MCC, programs, function blocks and functions can be generated in compliance with IEC61131-3.

Advantages of MCC

As a graphic programming language, MCC helps you to formulate process and motion sequences easily by creating a sequence of graphic MCC commands. The characteristics of every MCC command can be parameterized individually. Control structures such as IF commands make for easy implementation of alternative branches. Furthermore, each MCC command has its own graphic design, making the functionality of each action within an MCC chart immediately evident. Consequently, the system greatly facilitates the programming of automation tasks and additionally enhances readability. Further, online functions enable you to locate errors quickly or simply help you to keep track of the current states.

LAD/FBD – Programming Languages for PLC Tasks Popular language from the PLC area • LAD uses program elements from circuit diagrams • FBD uses elements from Boolean algebra • Compatible to IEC 61131-3 LAD/FBD • Motion control functionality can be best integrated using the function block from the PLCOpen library • Identical to SIMATIC LAD/FBD

Advantages: • Binary logic operations can be simply formulated, for instance, interlocking conditions • Easy to understand and program • Simple testing and commissioning of programs

LAD

LAD stands for ladder diagram. LAD is a graphic programming language. The syntax for the instructions is similar to a circuit diagram. LAD enables simple tracking of the signal flow between conductor rails via inputs, outputs and operations. LAD statements consist of elements and boxes, which are graphically connected to networks (compatible to IEC 61131-3). The LAD programming language provides all elements that are required to generate PLC tasks. LAD features an extensive command set. This includes the various basic operations with a comprehensive range of operands and how to address them. The concept of functions and function blocks allows complex tasks to be clearly structured.

FBD

FBD stands for function block diagram. FBD is a graphics-based programming language that uses the same type of boxes used in boolean algebra to represent logic (compatible to IEC 61131-3). In addition, complex functions (e.g. mathematical functions) can be represented directly in conjunction with the logic boxes. Just like LAD, FBD provides all of the elements that are required for creating PLC tasks.

Advantages and limits

The programming languages are admirably suited to implement open-loop control tasks using binary operands; for instance, interlocking conditions. Programming closed-loop control tasks with analog variables, for instance the speed of a drive or the temperature of a heating boiler etc. is a tedious procedure in LAD/FBD networks. DCC is an expansion to process analog variables. Using the DCC editor, analog variables can be processed and interconnected in a similar way to binary variables in LAD/FBD. However, having said this, LAD/FBD is especially useful as many service personnel feel very comfortable with LAD/FBD programming.

Properties of ST

ST is a high-level programming language oriented to PASCAL. The language is based on the IEC 61131-3 standard, which standardizes programming languages for programmable logic controls (PLCs). In addition to open-loop and closed-loop control tasks, modern automation systems must be capable of handling an increasing number of data processing tasks and complex mathematical algorithms (process optimization). ST was developed specifically to address tasks such as these. In addition to the standardized, IEC 61131-3-compliant programming language, SIMOTION ST also includes commands for SIMOTION devices, motion control and technology. Technology objects make an interface available to the user program via which, for example, axes can be positioned or output cams parameterized. These technology commands are the commands provided by technology objects which can be called easily from an ST user program.

Advantages of ST

Programming controls using a high-level language such as ST opens up a wide range of options, especially for the following tasks, such as e.g.: • simple generation of complex open-loop and closed-loop control algorithms, such as e.g. algorithms for process optimization • transparent handling of data management tasks, for example the acquisition and processing of process data (statistical pre-compression of data etc.) • simple communication using standard protocols(TCP/IP, UDP) to other systems, for instance master computer coupling When compared to other high-level languages, for instance C, ST is easy to learn and understand. Especially entry-level personnel, who have no experience with the concepts and techniques of high-level languages, can achieve usable results with ST.

Overview, DCC

.

09.02.2012 MC-SMO-SYS_01.14


DCC (Drive Control Chart) offers a modular, scalable technology option, which has chiefly been developed for drive-related, continuous open-loop and closedloop control tasks. The DCC technology option for SIMOTION controllers and SINAMICS drives can be configured graphically using the Drive Control Chart editor (DCC editor), which is based on SIMATIC S7 CFC. As a consequence, extensive closed-loop control related structures can be programmed in SIMOTION. These can then be combined with other program sections to form an overall program. The time slices: T1 .. T5 of the blocks can be freely selected and combined in SIMOTION. The run environment in SIMOTION ensures consistent data transfer between blocks with different sampling times In SINAMICS, using the DCC-Editor, drive-related tasks can be directly implemented in the converter. SINAMICS BICO technology is used to access drive parameters.

Procedure

When a new chart is created, the block types are first taken from the devicespecific block library and inserted in the DCC editor's block manager. Using the DCC Editor, charts are subsequently created, in which blocks are inserted from the library, parameterized and interconnected. The charts are then compiled and an intermediate code generated; this is then loaded into the SIMOTION and/or the drive unit using SCOUT /STARTER.

Advantage

DCC can be used from very simple up to extremely complex applications. Communication between the blocks can be configured in a user-friendly fashion using a straightforward interconnection system. It is not necessary to manually handle and manage the machine resources. Comprehensive test tools with simple display, diagnostics and trace functions ensure fast testing and in turn fast commissioning of the user program.

What is SIMOTION C?

C2xx is a motion control module for controlling servo drives via PROFIBUS-DP (PROFINET for C240 PN) and four onboard drive interfaces (only C230-2 and C240). SIMOTION C is a powerful module for independent single-axis positioning or for axis group motion. It supports operation of both rotary and linear axes. The engineering system is used for configuration, parameterization, commissioning, programming and diagnostics of the SIMOTION C.

What is SIMOTION P?

SIMOTION P is a PC-based motion control system. Control, motion control and HMI functions run concurrently on this PC. For P350-3, the drive coupling and the connection of distributed I/O can either be realized using an IsoPROFIBUS board with two PROFIBUS interfaces (isochronous) or via an MCI-PN board (4 x PROFINET). The P320-3 combines PC technology with the advantages of a maintenancefree an embedded-PC solution without any rotating parts. It can be operated without any display/monitor, or with a monitor connected via a DVI interface. The drive is connected through 3 integrated PROFINET interfaces

What is SIMOTION D?

SIMOTION D combines SIMOTION functionality and the drive functionality of a drive system to form one single drive hardware system. This results in a system which is both highly compact and with fast response times. SIMOTION D is always used when a compact machine concept and high performance for motion control tasks are required in combination with highspeed I/Os. SIMOTION D is offered in the performance versions D425 (low-end performance range), D435 (medium performance range), D445-2 (high-end performance range) and D455-2 (highest performance range). From V4.1 and higher, the D410 single-axis system is available to expand SIMOTION D systems in a modular fashion.
