Automation solutions for Mechanical Engineering
The Baumüller Group offers complete automation
solutions for mechanical engineering. Our broad spectrum extends from
components to integrated automation solutions, and our comprehensive
services support you throughout the lifecycle of your machine.
Machines and systems are increasingly built on a modular
basis, allowing the use of centralized, decentralized, and hybrid automation
concepts. Manufacturing processes that operate with continuous rapid cycles
(such as the web processing of paper, foils, or textiles) represent
particular challenges to the real-time capability of drive, control, and
fieldbus technologies.
With its b maXX-drivePLC, b maXX-controller PLC, and b
maXX-softPLC controls and its b maXX HMI solutions - from the
text-oriented terminal to the touch panel – Baumüller supports
decentralized, centralized, and hybrid control architectures – based on the
requirements of the application.

Automation concepts

The modularization of machinery is state of the art
nowadays, and is based on the decentralization of the system’s intelligence.
A modular machine architecture provides flexible expansion capability and
increases the availability of the system. Baumüller provides forward-looking
solutions for modular and decentralized concepts. As a system partner,
Baumüller can solve any automation problem using central and decentralized
control architecture. The IEC 61131 programming standard is an important
prerequisite for modular automation concepts.
Modular design is being used in an ever-increasing number of machines and
systems, and is based on an automation concept with decentralized control
and drive technology. The modularization of machinery with manufacturing
processes that operate with continuous rapid cycles (such as the processing
of paper, film or textile webs) represents a particular challenge to the
real-time capability of drive, control and field bus technology. Baumüller
provides automation solutions with central or decentralized control
architecture and solutionsfor dynamic processes that require proper
real-time processing.

Flexible topologies in automation
There is an increasing trend towards modular
configuration of machines and plants in mechanical engineering. In order to
achieve this, not only centralized or decentralized automation concepts are
used but also hybrid ones.
As a system partner for automation and plant technology, Baumüller has set
itself the goal to reduce the complexity of plants and therefore offers
integrated complete solutions – tailored to the needs of the customer.

Motion Control

The Motion Control concept puts the main focus on
the user’s manufacturing processThe Motion Control concept from
Baumüller puts the main focus on the user’s manufacturing process. Machine
functions can be planned without functional knowledge of the system using
Motion Control modules that comply with PLCopen and the IEC 61131
programming standard.
This gives machine constructors the freedom to use their core competency
more effectively for the further development of machine concepts. The amount
of engineering that is required for the automation and drive system is
minimized. The Baumüller Motion Control concept
Baumüller’s Motion Control concept reduces the complexity and the
development cost of automation software in mechanical engineering.
It puts the main focus on the user’s processes and machine
functionality. This concept allows the machine manufacturer to
concentrate on machine-specific future technologies and the
continuous further development of their machine functionality in the
software – and increasing the manufacturer’s competitive edge.
The planning of Single Axis and Multi Axis functionality in
accordance with “PLCopen Motion Control” is only carried out using
the relevant function module libraries from a technological point of
view

Engineering Framework ProMaster
Due to their flexible and modular construction, modern
automation solutions contain an ever-increasing amount of software. This
increases the complexity of the entire machine. To keep the programming
expenditure of the user as low as possible, however, Baumüller has developed
the ProMaster Engineering Framework. By this means, the user can implement
his or her machine configuration and the configuration and programming of
individual machine modules, devices and components easily and intuitively.
ProMaster – A framework for any automation task.
