Overview
If the complex processes associated with production machines
are to be managed efficiently, there is no alternative but to
modularize the automation software. This kind of software
comprises modules that are designed to function autonomously
without influencing the operation of other modules. The data of
individual modules are "encapsulated" and the modules are only
allowed to interact through specially defined interfaces.
Modularized software can be created using one of the standard
programming methods provided in SIMOTION.
It is possible to go a step further by creating software modules
that are scalable and hardware-neutral and program them with
configurable functions. The SIMOTION easyProject project
generator can then be used to combine these individual
modules to form a complete project.
Engineering projects can be developed faster and cheaper if
they are created using standard modules and the automatic
project generation functions provided by easyProject. The
process of engineering automation solutions is made even more
efficient.
SIMOTION easyProject can be opened directly from SIMOTION
SCOUT and is included on the SIMOTION Utilities &
Applications DVD that is supplied free of charge with SIMOTION
SCOUT.
Note:
The SIMOTION easyProject project generator is not currently
available for SCOUT TIA (SIMOTION in the TIA Portal).
A wide variety of applications have been realized in different
sectors using the SIMOTION Motion Control System, and various
basic, technology and application modules have been
developed and optimized for this purpose. These well-proven
software modules that have become quasi standard can now be
integrated into a new or existing engineering project in an
extremely easy manner with the project generator. This is done
by first selecting the SIMOTION components and then the
required modules in simple selection screens. Their integral or
predefined functions are then configured with a mouse click. The
engineering project is finally generated ready for loading and
execution. This saves complicated programming work and at
the same time creates the preconditions for a uniform and
therefore standardized project structure.
The project generator includes standard modules for basic
functions as well as functions relating to diagnostics, operating
mode, communication and technology.
