Extension of the TwinCAT PTP by the possibility to interpolate movements with up to three path axes and up to five auxiliary axes. Various axis types with various fieldbus interfaces are supported. The movement is usually programmed in DIN 66025, but it can also alternatively be carried out via PLC function blocks.
Features
max. 3 path axes and up to 5 auxiliary axes per group
max. 31 channels
supports electric servo axes, stepper motor drives
programming in DIN 66025
access alternatively via function blocks according to IEC 61131-3
interpreter functions such as subroutine and jump technology, programmable loops, zero point shifts, tool corrections, M and H functions, mathematical functions, variable programming
geometry functions: straight lines and circles in 3D space, linear, circular and helical interpolation at the main levels and freely definable levels, look-ahead function
online reconfiguration of axes in groups, path override, slave coupling to path axes, auxiliary axes, axis error and sag compensation, measuring functions
operation in automatic mode, manual mode (jog/inch), single block mode, referencing, handwheel mode (movement/overlay)
convenient debugging with online monitoring of current set/actual position (position lag of all axes), NC program line currently being processed, NC program line currently being interpreted, channel status
support of kinematic transformations in combination with TS511x
