Equipment provided on SIMOTION P basic units
The SIMOTION P320-4 E and P320-4 S Motion Controllers are
ready-to-run PC systems comprising:
•
Hardware platform SIMOTION P320-4
•
Windows operating system and real-time expansion for
SIMOTION P
•
SIMOTION Kernel
Both SIMOTION P320-4 versions have an integrated, onboard
PROFINET and Industrial Ethernet interface. For applications
that also require a PROFIBUS DP connection, the option module
IsoPROFIBUS board with two PROFIBUS interfaces is available.
Power supplies for SIMOTION P
SIMOTION P320-4 requires a 24 V operating voltage. We
recommend that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
SITOP power supply units and DC UPS modules are examples
of systems that are suitable for this application.
An appropriate power supply can be selected via the Internet:

Operator control and monitoring
SIMOTION P320-4 can be operated without a display or monitor
(headless mode).
In addition, displays and monitors can be directly connected via
the integrated DVI or DisplayPort interface. Using the SIMATIC
Industrial Flat Panel (IFP), it is possible to operate SIMOTION
P320-4 at a distance of up to 30 m (98.4 ft) in a distributed
configuration.
Engineering
Engineering is performed either using a separate programming
device with SIMOTION SCOUT or, in the case of the SIMOTION
P320-4 S version, directly with SIMOTION SCOUT on the
SIMOTION P system.
Communication interfaces on SIMOTION P320-4
PROFINET
With its integrated PROFINET interface with 3 ports, SIMOTION
P320-4 can be connected to a PROFINET IO network. The
PROFINET interface supports PROFINET IO with IRT and RT.
Standard Ethernet communication (TCP/IP) is also possible over
this interface.
The properties of the integrated PROFINET interface are as
follows:
•
Communication as a PROFINET IO controller, I-Device
(controller and device simultaneously)
•
100 Mbit/s full duplex
•
Support for real time classes RT (Real Time) and IRT
(Isochronous Real Time)
•
Integrated 3-port switch with 3 RJ45 sockets. The optimum
topology (line, star, tree) can therefore be configured without
additional external switches.
PROFIBUS
The connection to a PROFIBUS network is made via the
IsoPROFIBUS board (available as optional module). This is a
PCI card with two interfaces for PROFIBUS DP (max. 12 Mbit/s).
The clock-pulse rate can be parameterized on the bus.
Integration in Local Area Networks
With the onboard Industrial Ethernet interface, the SIMOTION
P320-4 system is ready for integration in LANs (Local Area
Networks). An external operator station or an engineering
system can also be connected (e.g. for remote maintenance).
Expansion using distributed I/Os and drives
SIMOTION P320-4 Motion Controllers can control (depending on
device and device variant) drives and distributed I/O systems
via PROFINET or PROFIBUS DP (optional). In this case, the
drives are connected using the PROFIdrive V4 profile.
Available I/O systems include, for example:
•
SIMATIC ET 200SP, ET 200S
•
SIMATIC ET 200MP, ET 200M
•
SIMATIC ET 200pro
•
SIMATIC ET 200eco, ET 200eco PN
•
SIMATIC ET 200AL
The high-performance I/O systems transfer the required process
signals digitally and free of interference to the SIMOTION P
system.
High-speed I/Os for time-critical applications
Cycle times of 250 μs can be achieved with SIMOTION P,
PROFINET and high-speed I/Os. This is particularly necessary
for applications with fast response times (e.g. hydraulic axes).
Interfaces
The following interfaces are available on the SIMOTION P320-4
system:
•
1 × COM 1 (V.24)
•
1 × DVI-I (DVI / VGA)
•
1 × DisplayPort (DP)
•
4 × USB 3.0
•
1 × Industrial Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbit/s)
•
1 × PROFINET IO (1 interface with 3 ports)
•
2 × PROFIBUS DP optional (IsoPROFIBUS board)
Ruggedness
In order to optimize the rugged design of the system, SIMOTION
P320-4 contains no rotating parts at all. An externally accessible
CFast card can be used. The features of the internal storage
medium differ according to the device version:
Storage media:
•
Freely accessible (exchangeable): CFast (4 GB)
•
Internal (non-exchangeable):
- SIMOTION P320-4 E: CFast (4 GB)
- SIMOTION P320-4 S: SSD (80 GB)
No tools are needed to insert or remove the CFast card.
System data are stored on the non-exchangeable storage
medium. Application data can be stored, for example, on the
freely accessible CFast card. Separate administration of system
and application data is therefore possible.
