Programmable Motion Controllers Application development

APOSS ® win APOSS ® enables simplified implementation of complex motion control applications. The programming is performed in the high-level languages C, which has been supplemented with very powerful, specific motion control commands.

State machines The development of extensive software systems requires a structured and modular procedure. It is essential to have an appropriate system architec- ture, including its components and the interfaces to the subsystems and system environment.

APOSS ® makes it possible to create programs by means of hierarchical state machines. Thus com- prehensive applications can be structured and developed in a transparent and serviceable way. Several state machines can be called up and pro- cessed in parallel.

APOSS ® IDE – Application Engineering

Motion control functions Comprehensive positioning and synchronization tasks are initiated with APOSS ® using simple commands [e.g. AxisPosAbsStart(); AxisPosRelStart(); SyncPos(); SyncVel();] and processed independently in the background.

– Jerk-limited positioning Profile motion with limited jerking. Jerk limiting can be individually defined for all four acceleration phases. Jerk-limited motion can be changed dy- namically during the motion. – CAM profiles Each axis can travel along an own CAM profile. CAM profiles can be combined in any way desired and dynamically calculated. CAM segments can be splines, polynomials up to the fifth order or straight lines. – Path motion Path motion can be performed with constant or with maximum path speed, for any number of axes. – Synchronization tasks Axis motion synchronized with a master axis, po- sition synchronization, speed synchronization or position synchronization with marker correction. Each axis can be synchronized with another mas- ter. – Kinematics Synchronization of several axes in a 2- or 3-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. Various kinematic models are available, for example a SCARA or DELTA model.
