Application
SIMOTION P320-4 is suitable for applications for which
•
the available mounting space is minimal
•
rugged hardware is extremely important, without rotating parts
such as fan or hard disk
•
no display is needed in normal operation (headless mode).
Connections are available for operation of a monitor or display.
SIMOTION P320-4 features a DVI-I and a DisplayPort (DP)
interface.
•
A Windows operating system is required for the relevant
applications.
SIMOTION P320-4 is suitable for high-performance
applications for which
•
complex data management and data evaluation are a
prerequisite
•
Motion Control, open-loop control and visualization functions
need to be implemented on one platform to save space
•
highly dynamic position and pressure control loops are
needed, as in the case of hydraulic applications
•
the openness provided by the Windows operating system can
be optimally utilized (software, drivers, etc.)
Important applications include:
•
Packaging machines
•
Plastic and rubber processing machines
•
Presses, wire-drawing machines
•
Textile machines
•
Printing machines
•
Wood, glass, ceramics and stone working machines
•
Production lines in the renewable energy sector, e.g. solar
technology,
•
wind energy plants
Due to the increasing use of servo drives, these machines
require a high degree of integration of PLC, Motion Control and
technology functions.
