CODESYS SoftMotion Drives :

SoftMotion Drive Configuration :

Overview The SoftMotion drive interface is a standardized interface that you use for linking, configuring, and addressing the drive hardware within an IEC program. By mapping different hardware to one

Coupled Drive Units Coupled drives belong to a device which represents the drive within the fieldbus topology. The symbols of these drives have a small mark indicating the corresponding fieldbus type.

Inserting Free Drive Units Free drive units are not permanently coupled with other devices in the device tree. They are inserted in the device tree below SoftMotion General Drive Pool . :

Drive Control 'Drive_PosControl' With the Drive_PosControl drive control, you can let the position control of an axis of CODESYS continue to run. The requirement is a device that is controlled by the

Preprocessing G-Code : G40 , G41 , G42 , G43 , G50 , G51 , G52 , G60 , G61 , G70 , G71 Function : The commands activate preprocessing modules, such as SMC_SmoothPath , SMC_RoundPath , SMC_AvoidLoop ,

Additional Spline Axes A, B, C G code word : A , B , C Function : The words A, B, and C define the target positions for spline additional axes. In principle, the additional axes act like P , Q , U , V

Smoothing of Additional Axis Motion using Multiple Objects G code : G70 , G71 Function : G71 starts and G70 ends the smoothing of motion on the additional axis that is given in L and travels over mult

Configuring Single Additional Axes as Modulo Axes (PA/PB/…) Function: For the axes A, B, C, P, Q, U, V, and W, a modulo period can be specified by setting the words PA , PB , PC , etc. By default, PA
