PC-based control technology The Windows Control and Automation Technology The Software System turns any compatible PC into a real-time controller with a multi-plc system and NC/CNC axis control. At the same time, integrates the programming environment for all Beckhoff controllers: from high-end Industrial PC control to embedded controller. architecture consists of run-time systems that execute control programs in real-time and the development environments for programming, diagnostics and configuration. Any Windows programs, for instance visualisation programs or Office programs, can access data via Microsoft interfaces, or can execute commands. A practically oriented software solution offers a precise timebase in which programs are executed with the highest deterministic features, independently of other processor tasks. The real-time load on a PC is set with ; defined operating behaviour is achieved in this way. indicates the system load for programs that are running. A load threshold can be set in order to assure a defined computing capacity for the operating programs and for Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista. If this threshold is exceeded, a system message is generated. supports system diagnosis The general use of hardware and software from the open PC world requires some checking: Unsuitable components can upset the PC system. Beckhoff has integrated a practical indicator of the real-time jitter, giving administrators an easy way to evaluate the hardware and software. A system message during operation can draw attention to incorrect states. Start/stop behaviour Depending on the setting, is started and stopped manually or automatically. Since is integrated into Windows NT/2000/XP/ Vista as a service, an operator is not needed to start the sys - tem: switching on is enough. Restarting and data backup When a program is started or restarted, loads programs and remanent data. To back up data and to shut down Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista correctly, a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is of great value. and Blue Screen The system can be configured such that real-time capability is maintained in the event of a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) operating system crash. tasks such as PLC and NC can therefore continue to run and bring the controlled process into a safe state. Ultimately, it is the decision of the programmer whether or not to utilise this feature, bearing in mind that data or programs may already have been destroyed by the BSOD. World-wide connection through message routing remote connection is inherent to the system According to the requirement for operating resources, the software devices can be distributed: PLC programs can run on the PCs or on Beckhoff Comparison: execution times for 1,000 PLC commands by a hardware PLC and by PLC 967 We reserve the right to make technical changes.

A message router manages and distributes all the messages, both in the system and via TCP/IP connections. PC systems can be connected with each other via TCP/IP; Bus Terminal Controllers are integrated via serial interfaces and fieldbuses (Lightbus, PROFIBUS DP, CANopen, RS232, RS485, Ethernet TCP/IP). World-wide access Since standard TCP/IP services of NT/2000/XP/Vista can be used, this data can be exchanged across the world. The system offers scalable communication capacity and timeout periods for the supervision of communications. OPC provides a standardised means for accessing many different SCADA packets. The SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) enables a connection between two computers to be established by means of an inter - net connection via standard HTTP. A component is available for this purpose.

PLC and Motion Control on the PC universal interface for all common fieldbuses Many PC fieldbus cards from various manufacturers are supported. It is possible to operate more than one fieldbus card per PC. Master and slave functionality is supported, depending on the selected fieldbus card. The fieldbus cards can be configured and diagnosed conveniently via the System Manager. includes the real-time system for operating the fieldbuses and a DLL interface to application programs. PLC the central pillar of automation software Conceived as a pure software PLC, PLC allows up to four virtual PLC CPUs, each running up to four user tasks, on one PC. The PLC program can be written in one or more of the languages provided for in the IEC 61131-3 standard: IL (Instruction List), LD (Ladder Diagram), FBD/CFC (Function Block Diagram), SFC (Sequential Function Chart) and ST (Structured Text). PLC running under the Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista operating systems includes both the programming environment and the run-time system, so that an additional programming device is not required. Under the CE operating system and the embedded operating systems for the series BX and BC controllers, only run-time is available. Program modifications are implemented via networkcapable powerful communication with the run-time system. Programming can be done locally, via TCP/IP or via the fieldbus (BXxxxx and BCxxxx). IEC 61131-3 advanced programming standard for all Beckhoff controllers The PLC is programmed in accordance with IEC 61131-3 independently of the manufacturer. supports all the IEC 61131-3 programming languages with convenient editors and a fast, effective compiler, so that the development cycle for the creation even of large PLC programs of several megabytes can be short. Incremental compilation prevents long turnaround times. Only genuinely new sections are compiled. Powerful editor features, such as autoformat, autodeclare or find and replace enable fast programming. For all programming languages, the project comparison function facilitates differences to be identified and accepted if appropriate. If a project (comments, directories, etc.) is to be translated into a language other than the original language, all terms can be exported into a table, translated and re-imported. If a team is dealing with the development, all objects (blocks, data types, lists) can be managed within a source code management tool via the Engineering Interface. This enables changes to be traced back and differences between individual versions to be displayed. The concept of the instantiation of function blocks, in which each instance is associated with its own data, leads naturally to object-oriented and structured programming styles. All common data types specified in IEC 61131-3 are supported. Multi-dimensional fields and structures are possible, as are enumeration and subrange types. PLC is certified for the languages IL and ST (base level). The online change function can be used for code and/or data modifications while the PLC is running, providing maximum data retention. Source code can be stored in the target system (except for BCxxxx series controllers). The criteria analysis function is very helpful for the detection of process errors. Code can very easily be reused via the convenient library manager. For know-how protection, multi-stage password protection can be applied to programs and libraries. Many target platforms one tool The PLC programs created with PLC can be executed on a number of target platforms. Apart from Industrial PCs and the Embedded PCs, the PLC project can also be loaded into the BC and BX series fieldbus controllers from Beckhoff. Pro gram development and debugging proceed in the same working environment, regardless of which unit is executing the program. 969 We reserve the right to make technical changes.
970 Extensive supplementary libraries As an extension to the blocks defined by the IEC language standard, Beckhoff offers a wide range of supplementary libraries for the execution of tasks typical in automation technology: e.g. libraries for controlling electrical and hydraulic axes via NC, serial communication libraries, system libraries for message outputs, write/read files, control technology blocks, etc. Helpful practice tools Extensive faultfinding functions in PLC facilitate the solution of problems either on site or via remote maintenance. For this purpose, the PLC programming environment in offers: monitoring, powerflow (flow control), break point, sampling trace of PLC variables, single step, watchlist, call hierarchy and forcing of variables. In addition, the Scope- View (a software oscilloscope) can be used to record one or several variables simultaneously. NC Motion Control on the PC A software NC consists of: positioning (set value generation and position control) integrated PLC with NC interface operating programs for commissioning purposes connection for axes via fieldbus With NC, the position controller is calculated on the PC processor as standard. It exchanges data cyclically with drives and measurement systems via the fieldbus. Central NC positioning on the PC The computing capacity of a PC enables axis motion simultaneously with the PLC, whereby the position controller is usually calculated on the PC: The computing capacity of a PC enables many axes to be positioned simultaneously. enables a PC to pro cess the operating programs, the PLC and the NC at the same time. The division of the system load is supported by with appropriate functions. Analytical path calculation The algorithms that NC/NC I/CNC uses to control axes take account of the dynamic parameters of the axis: speed, acceleration and jerk. In this way, the axes are moved at any time within the limits of what is dynamically possible, and are precisely analytically coordinated. A range of different regulation algorithms are available in order to reduce the deviations from the ideal trajectory that will occur in practice. Supervisory system PC Control Communication PLC Hierarchical controller architecture: central or distributed Individual or joint Based on the normal methods for positioning an individual electrical axis, moving from its starting point to its destination (point-to-point positioning), NC also allows the coordinated movement of a number of axes in multi-stage master-slave operation (e.g. gearing functions or cam plates) to be executed. NC I further allows the interpolated path sequencing described in accordance with DIN 66025 to be carried out involving up to three axes.

The communication between the two packages is a pure software/software channel with minimum delay times. The NC functionalities are called from the PLC program via standardised, PLCopen-certified function blocks. Axis movements can be simulated without hardware; the actual value is instructed to ideally track the set value, and the complete machine flow is checked. ScopeView is helpful for commissioning and maintenance. It records all axis variables such as position, speed, acceleration and jerk. Convenient commissioning Commissioning is simplified significantly by the configuration and diagnostic dialogs offered in the System Manager. For each axis, all main data are displayed at a glance. The axes can be moved via function keys. Special functions such as couplings, cam plates or distance compensation can be triggered and observed via the System Manager. A convenient dialog enables the dynamic parameters of an axis to be determined. NC I axis interpolation in three dimensions NC I (interpolation) is the NC system for linear and circular interpolated path movements of axis groups each involving two or three drives. The system includes interpreter, set value generation and position controller. PLC functionality is integrated, as is the connection of the axes with the fieldbus. The interpreter interprets the code described in DIN 66025. Comprehensive PLC libraries enable interaction between NC and PLC. NC programs, for example, can be loaded directly from the PLC program into the interpreter. CNC the software CNC for toughest requirements CNC expands NC I with classic CNC features: Up to 32 interpolating axes and comprehensive coordinate and kinematic transformations are possible. Parts programming is carried out according to DIN 66025 using high-level language extensions. CNC can operate with up to 64 axes or 32 path axes and controlled spindles that can be distributed across up to twelve CNC channels. In a CNC chan - nel, up to 32 axes can be interpolated simultaneously, enabling even the most difficult motion tasks to be solved. Apart from the classic linear, circular and helical interpolations, CNC offers convenient spline interpolation, optionally based on Akima or B-splines. transformations enable complex machine kinematics to be realised without problem. 971 We reserve the right to make technical changes.
