The Baumüller Motion Control concept focuses on the user's production process. With motion control modules
conforming to PLCopen and the IEC 61131 programming standard, machine functions can be configured
without functional knowledge of the system. This gives the machinery manufacturer scope to use his core
competence for enhancing machine concepts more effectively.
 Concentration on core competence

The proportion of software in automation systems is rising continuously.

Machine functions are increasingly being implemented by software. Complexity
increases as the scope of functions is expanded. For the machinery manufacturer
this means not only higher initial expenditure on software development but
also higher expenditure on software maintenance and servicing.

Reduction in complexity, simplification of software maintenance and servicing,

a considerable reduction in initial software expenditure and the cost of
maintenance and servicing, and extremely accelerated times-to-market are the
key requirements that machinery manufacturers expect of automation partners.

The Baumüller Motion Control concept meets these requirements:

The Baumüller Motion Control concept reduces the complexity of automation
software in mechanical engineering and the cost of developing it. The concept
focuses on the user's process, enabling the machinery manufacturer to
concentrate on machine-specific future technologies and continuous
enhancement of his machine functionalities in programming.

Configuration of motion functionality in compliance with "PLCopen Motion

Control" is now only conducted from a technological aspect, employing relevant
function block libraries. The standard programming languages of IEC 61131 are
used. System functionalities required for motion management, field bus
communication, and the drives are integrated into the operating system of the
Baumüller "b maXX" automation system by means of a communication manager
and a motion manager. This brings about a considerable reduction in complexity
and a substantial cut in development expenditure because special drive, field
61131-5
bus, and communication programming is no longer required for motion control
applications.

b maXX-drivePLC:
the hardware for motion & logic

Control technology
The b maXX-drivePLC module makes the drive extremely smart. In-drive control
intelligence makes it possible to have fast access to the setpoints and actual
values of the drive controller. As a result, operation of the drive can be expanded
to include complex motion, control and technology functions. This ensures that
the application is created quickly and economically.

Fastest in-drive PLC in the world

With a cycle time of 100 microseconds for 1,000 lines of IL, b maXX-drivePLC is
the fastest in-drive PLC in the world and is therefore not only suitable for
sophisticated motion control tasks. With the CAN option board for b maXX-
drivePLC a CANopen master is already installed. Consequently, up to 65,536
digital I/O points or up to 32 axes can be selected for each CANopen master. The
range of products includes decentralized, analog and digital I/O modules.

The program memory of the b maXX-drivePLC is sufficient for a typical 120,000 32 bit processor, 120 MHz

lines of IL. There is 2 MB of RAM available for variables. The optional, non- 2 MByte program memory for:
volatile 56 k data memory is buffered with a battery-free NOVRAM. up to 400,000 IL lines or typically
120,000 IL lines
2 MByte variables memory
All the advantages at a glance
1,4 MByte memory for debug
To summarize, b maXX-drivePLC, the in-drive PLC, offers the following advantages:
functions, e.g. logic analysis
Fast, synchronous PLC access to the drive controller
Typically 100 µsec / 1,000 lines of IL
No wiring required between PLC and drive
128 Byte non-volatile memory
Compact design saves control cabinet space
56 KByte non-volatile memory (optional)
Maximum performance for PLC and servo controller due to separate processors
IEC 61131 multitasking real-time operating system
