3.1 System overview
Overview
SIMOTION P is a PC-based, open Motion Control System from SIMOTION.
Control, motion control, and HMI functions are executed together with standard PC
applications on the SIMOTION P hardware platform. SIMOTION P combines the compatibility
of the Windows operating system with real-time capability of SIMOTION P Runtime.
The fully independent SIMOTION P Runtime runs in parallel to Windows on SIMOTION P.
This real-time expansion makes it possible to implement demanding motion control
applications with high performance requirements on platforms of the SIMOTION P range. The
hardware consists of a computing unit with innovative Intel technology, which is ready for
operation at the time of delivery.
The drives and I/O devices are connected either via PROFINET onboard or
IsoPROFIBUS board (optional).
The SIMATIC Flat Panel IFP1500, IFP1900 and IFP2200 can be used for the operation of the
SIMOTION P320-4 hardware platform in a distributed configuration.
SIMOTION P320-4 versions
The SIMOTION P320-4 can control various I/O systems and HMI components via
PROFINET onboard or the optional IsoPROFIBUS board.
If required, a USB DVD drive can be connected, for example.
The following versions of the SIMOTION P320-4 are available:
● SIMOTION P320-4 E
with the Windows Embedded Standard 7 32-bit operating system and real-time expansion
for SIMOTION.
● SIMOTION P320-4 S
with the Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit operating system and real-time expansion for
SIMOTION.
Application
The SIMOTION P320-4 applications are directed at machines that require a high level of
integration of PLC, motion control and technology functions on account of the increasing use
of servo drives:
● Packaging machines
● Plastic and rubber processing machines
● Presses, wire-drawing machines
● Textile machines
