Motion Control

The motion control design is conducted in such a manner that all motion control components within automated control systems’ perform optimally. These motor control systems incorporate the latest motion and control technologies. 
 

The drive-based IndraMotion MLD combines motion and PLC functions to form a modern open automation platform for modular machine designs. Available as a single-axis control for simple applications and as a multi-axis control for applications with a maximum of 10 axes, the distributed control architecture establishes a compact motion-logic system based on the scalable IndraDrive platform. This means that higher-order controls are not necessary.
 

Open technology and communication interfaces allow for IndraMotion MLD to be integrated in your automation design:

• Compact and powerful
• Certified safety technology
• Drive-integrated motion-control according to IEC 61131-3
• Electronic synchronisation of up to 10 axis
• Intuitive engineering with the software framework IndraWorks
• Optional technology and communication interfaces

The control-based IndraMotion MLC is ideal for applications that require consistent, modern machine automation. It achieves this with its innovative software and firmware functions, easy engineering and open system interfaces which provide maximum flexibility. Combining motion, robot and logic controls with technology functions permits you to synchronise freely scalable, multi-axis applications easily for centralised or decentralised solutions with a flexible control platform:

• Integrated runtime system with motion, robot and logic controls
• Extensive software libraries in conformity with IEC 61131-3 and PLCopen
• Innovative motion function FlexProfile for complex motion sequences
• Intuitive engineering with the software framework IndraWorks
• Simple, open and flexible

The MLC Motion Control System from Bosch Rexroth is the perfect foundation for intelligent automation of production machinery and plants. This is achieved by using state-of-the-art PLC technology with object-oriented language extensions for simplified modularisation.

The motion, robot and logic control join forces with technological functions to form a high-performance runtime system with application-based task settings. This allows for both fast I/O signal processing and highly dynamic motion control tasks with up to 99 axes using a single control:

• Perfectly coordinated tool chain for all phases of the engineering workflow throughout the entire product life cycle of a machine
• Automation system for consistent and modern machine automation
• Embedded control CML and XM with extension options for technology, communication and I/O
• CoDeSys V3-based PLC programming using all editors according to IEC 61131-3, 3rd edition
• Highly flexible motion control for linear and non-linear interpolation
• Can be programmed completely in high-level languages using the Open Core Interface
• Best in class motion control for hydraulic applications
• It is easy to extend the MLC, transforming it into a safety control
