Clear display of online parameters

March 11, 2019

Convenient online parameter management for process control technology

The new version R4.2 of the APROL automation platform provides a powerful and convenient system for managing online parameters. APROL DisplayCenter displays a clear overview of online parameters and facilitates the commissioning of measurement and control loops. Online parameters can be dragged and dropped to other systems.

Different views allow a clear display and uncomplicated modification of the online parameters. The faceplate view offers a well-structured user interface. The system logic is displayed in the control module view. Parameters can be entered and control modules can be enabled in the list view. Depending on the requirements, the appropriate view can be selected or you can switch between the views.

Transfer parameters

The new operating dialog boxes not only provide a better overview of the parameters, but also allow existing online parameters to be transferred to other measuring points. To ensure seamless traceability, when online parameters are fed back into the APROL project engineering tool CaeManager, a new version is automatically created with the comment “Online parameters imported”.

Highly flexible robot control implemented as firmware extension based on TwinCAT

In their development of the RC9 robotics controller, DENSO WAVE and Beckhoff Japan followed a new approach by redefining the control concept for DENSO WAVE’s industrial robots. While previously all robot controls were only available as hardware, the new control system is software-based. RC9 will initially be adopted in new VM and VL series models before being gradually deployed in future products. The concept of the new control solution was presented to the media on Wednesday, 18 December 2019, at the International Robot Exhibition in Tokyo. In addition to the RC9 special presentation, DENSO WAVE demonstrated extremely smooth operation of a production line with the integrated RC9 control system at their booth.

ADVANCED Motion Controls Takes Servo Drives to New Heights (and Depths) with FlexPro Extended Environment Product Line

Advanced Motion Controls is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.

Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions.
