With its new drive-integrated b maXX PLC di, automation specialist Baum\u00fcller implements highly synchronized motion control with short cycle times, enabling smart monitoring without external sensors directly in the drive

With its new drive-integrated b maXX PLC di, Baum\u00fcller is making highly synchronous motion control, maximum speeds and modular machine and system mounting a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baum\u00fcller has been successfully implementing the principle of drive-integrated PLCs for decades and, with the new PLC di, has made it fit for the future and for the Internet of Things (IoT). The drive-integrated control unit b maXX PLC di \u2013 \u201cdi\u201d standing for \u201cdrive integrated\u201d \u2013 can execute complex motion control, technology and control functions directly in the drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This provides the machine builder with a number of advantages: By integrating the Baum\u00fcller motion modules directly in the drive, the user can apply a number of pre-programmed functionalities without having to make costly adjustments to the higher-level control unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This reduces the load on the fieldbus, while faster communication between the PLC and the drive optimizes the precision and accuracy of the machine \u2013 and thus its productivity. Highly synchronous processes at high speeds are now possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the integrated PLC paves the way for a modular machine design. The advantage: Individual machine modules can be manufactured independently and commissioned in advance. This considerably simplifies and accelerates commissioning of the entire machine on site at the user\u2019s premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the b maXX PLC di can also control other drives as an EtherCat master, in some cases the higher-level PLC can even be omitted altogether. This reduces costs for the machine builder and machine operator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to its integration in the drive, the PLC di achieves minimum cycle times of up to 250 \u03bcs and is thus even faster than its predecessor model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open system<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to control technology, Baum\u00fcller relies on open systems. With the new runtime environment IEC 61131, developed entirely in-house, Baum\u00fcller offers a platform that supports current standards such as high-level programming languages, e.g. with C++, and IoT connectivity. The runtime system is based on Linux, thus ensuring maximum openness for integrating other systems and absolute flexibility when implementing customer-specific projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With interfaces such as OPC UA, MQTT, EtherCAT and Ethernet, the b maXX PLC di is ideally set up for future requirements regarding automation or the Internet of Things. This comprehensive openness improves development efficiency, time-to-market and flexibility for the machine builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real-time communication<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The digital and analog inputs of the PLC di are also fully tuned for speed. Through digital inputs, the b maXX PLC di reacts in real time to important events such as touch probes. The advantage: The control unit operates more efficiently and reliably, a plus point in particular for applications with high requirements for dynamics and precision, where fast response times are needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The analog high-speed inputs (without additional hardware, minimum scanning time 1 \u03bcs) make completely new IoT solutions possible. External sensors can be connected directly. Analyses, e.g. vibration analyses, take place in the PLC in the drive and reactions to external events are also processed directly in the drive-integrated PLC without the need to detour to additional components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Communication between the PLC di and the servo-controller does not take place via the fieldbus but via an internal interface. This provides access to drive parameters such as voltage, current, power, torque, speed or position in “hard real-time”. The servo drive thus performs the tasks of a sensor and enables smart monitoring with a minimal extent of work. With the intelligent modules from the Baum\u00fcller SmartValue toolkit, processing then also takes place directly in the drive-integrated PLC di.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
