SRL410 – Remote Lecture: Integrated motion control (ACP10)

TM400 - Introduction to Motion Control

Learning objectives and content

• Core aspects of a mechatronic drive solution
• The basic requirements of a drive system
• Electric motors
• Position encoders
• Inverters
• Drive mechanics and power transmission
• The B&R drive solution
• Typical topologies, product overview, software access and decision-making guidelines
• Introduction to the topic of drive sizing

• TM400TRE.434-GER
• TM400TRE.434-ENG

The entire B&R motion control product line is fully integrated in Automation Studio. The drive configuration, programming, commissioning and diagnostics can therefore all be performed using a single tool. A high-performance simulation environment extends the many functions that are available.

Objectives and content

• Understanding drive hardware and software
• Adding and configuring drives in Automation Studio
• Components of the motion control system
• Commissioning and diagnostics environment
• Command interface
• Parameter management
• Recording drive data in real time
• Determining control parameters using autotuning
• Commissioning preparations
• Drive and motor simulation

In addition to single-axis functions, the PLCopen standard also offers functions for the coordinated movement of multiple axes in an axis group. By implementing mapp technology, using them is made easier. Drive coupling can be carried out quickly with this.

Objectives and content

• Properties of drive coupling
• Linear coupling and dynamic phase shift
• Creating and using electronic cam profiles
• Parameterization and application of the MpAxisCoupling component
• Structure and functionality of the Cam Profile Automat
• Implementation of the Cam Profile Automat with MpAxisCamSequencer
• Overview of the different types of compensation gearing
• Exercises and examples

Automation Studio is used to configure and program all B&R controller components. Core issues such as getting a clear overview of all product groups, initial commissioning of a controller, understanding the functions of the runtime environment and being familiar with the options for integrated configuration and diagnostics are decisive.

Learning objectives and content

• B&R company presentation
• B&R philosophy and products
• Using Automation Studio
• Using the integrated help documentation
• Establishing an online connection to the control system
• Initial installation of a controller
• Project engineering for the hardware configuration
• Working with the text and table editors
• Functions and configuration options in Automation RuntimeAutomation Runtime is the operating system that runs on all B&R controllers
• Runtime and startup behavior of the controller
• Use of the integrated diagnostics options
• Overview of available programming languages
