Multi-axis Controllers

HMI - CNC - PLC TOOLS - FIELDBUS

The Power family is a line of “All in One” General purpose PLC / CNC Controllers. It uses a specially designed structured language allowing a great programming flexibility between the components that make it up:

A powerful CNC

It provides high-level functions, allowing the execution of sequences of motion commands for axes, both real and virtual, interpolated or not. In addition to the classic linear, circular and helical interpolations, it supports the generation of complex motion profiles such as NURBS (splines) shape fittings with polynomials up to the 6th degree, roto-translation in the space of the axes, translation of the tool path through the RTCP (Rotating Tool Center Point), tangential tool, master / slave synchronization of axes in Gantry, Gearing or Camming configuration.

A flexible PLC

It has variables and structures of various sizes with the support of a large assortment of trigonometric, mathematical and logical operators and functions. The PLC executor can use, in addition to the main cyclic task, a synchronized task with the sampling time of the axes and multiple secondary tasks that can be executed in parallel.
By using the PLC, it is possible to manage the non-interpolated movement of the axes, the gearing, the interrupt inputs, the I/O with advanced timer functions, the execution of graphic commands, the communications on serial ports, ethernet, canbus through both protocols standard (eg Modbus,CANopen and EtherCAT) and custom (eg Texcom).

A complete HMI interface

The HMI interface is managed through graphic pages that can be created both in textual form, thanks to advanced commands, and graphically using the DrawingTool development tool.
The pages, which can be managed both by the PLC and by the CNC, harmonize with the various user programming environments available (ISO, Macro, etc.) and allow for high-level data entry sessions that also include the display of tooltips and the automatic opening of the touch screen keyboard suitable for the type of data being edited.
Multilingual management and use of Unicode fonts are supported.
