The ctrlX MOTION app provides the basic motion functions for single axis positioning.
Can be used for up to 4 axes per controller
Standard version with max. 4 interpolating axes per kinematic (no export restriction)*
Support for linear, rotary and modulo axes as real or virtual axes
Operation of axes in positioning mode.
PLC Open command library
Jog and Teach operating mode
Unit switching from mm to inch
Operation of gantry axle sets with position coupling
Override setting in % for speed and/or acceleration/deceleration
Movement of axes to fixed stop with defined torque
Use of ctrlX DRIVE for probe function
Use of Rest-API commands for motion command
Collision detection of servo axes in 1 dimension
The range of functions can be extended by optional technology packages for robotics and handling or systems with axis synchronization requirements.
*) Special export restricted app variant for interpolation with more than 4 axes per kinematics available.
Option "Motion Standard 10 Axes"
This option provides the basic motion functions for single axis positioning and can be used for up to 10 axes per controller. All other functions are described above and are the same as for "ctrlX MOTION app".
Option "Motion 20 Axis"
With activation of this licence feature, ctrlX MOTION app allows the user to configure maximum 20 axes. All axes count - real and virtual, meaning 5 virtual plus 15 real axes are in total 20.
Option "Motion 40 Axis"
With activation of this licence feature, ctrlX MOTION app allows the user to configure maximum 40 axes. All axes count - real and virtual, meaning 5 virtual plus 35 real axes are in total 40.
Option "Motion unlimited Axis"
With activation of this licence feature, ctrlX MOTION app allows the user to configure the maximum number of axes - real and virtual. Depedencies to controller hardware may apply.
Option "Cartesian Kinematics"
This option extends the basic motion function by specific functionality for Cartesian handling applications.
Coordinated path movements
Jog motion for complete kinematic
Collision detection of servo axes in 3 dimensions
Smoothing movements with spline cornering
Addtional coordinate systems e.g. for product or endeffector
Manual guidance of TCP
Option "Level 2 Kinematics"
This option extends the basic motion function by specific functionality for applications with level 2 kinematics (e.g. Delta & Scara Kinematics).
All functions of "Cartesian Kinematics"
Delta Kinematics
Scara Kinematics
2D orientation
Option "Level 3 Kinematics"
This option extends the basic motion function by specific functionality for applications with level 3 kinematics (e.g. Articulated Kinematics).
All functions of "Level 2 Kinematics"
Articulated Kinematics
3D orientation
Support
