Overview
Motion Control architectures with SIMOTION and SINAMICS
With SIMOTION and SINAMICS, a range of different automation
structures can be implemented over PROFINET. In this case,
central architectures comprising a controller (e.g. SIMOTION P)
are supported as well as decentralized, distributed architectures
with several distributed controllers (e.g. SIMOTION D with
SINAMICS S120).
When SIMOTION is integrated in a complete automation system,
hierarchic automation structures often result.
Thanks to the ability to configure SIMOTION as controller and
device concurrently on the same PROFINET interface (I-Device),
both hierarchic automation structures and modular machine
concepts can be implemented easily and without additional
components:
•
On the one hand, SIMOTION as a device can communicate
with a higher-level controller, e.g. a SIMATIC S7 PLC or a
non-Siemens PLC.
•
On the other hand, SIMOTION can also communicate with
local IO devices, such as drives and I/O modules, in the role
of IO Controller.
Via controller-to-controller and controller-to-device relationships
based on PROFINET IO with IRT, it is also possible to synchro-
nize large axis quantity structures via several SIMOTION IO
Controllers. This functionality is known as distributed synchro-
nous operation.
