Covering a Wide Range of Multi-Axis Applications

• SWM-G Motion Control Software is available in 16 to 128-axis control models, enabling multi-axis synchronization of various scales of machines.

• A CPU core of the industrial personal computer is assigned for running SWM-G processing, and that enables SWM-G to perform a high-speed, real-time operation without being affected by the operation on Windows^®.

Reduced Machine Design and Startup Time

• The integrated test tool SWM-G Operating Station covers the development processes of SWM-G from design to simulation, contributing to reduction in the total cost of ownership.
• The Operating Station enables users to check the communication settings and status of the master/remote stations, leading to reduced design time.

Maintenance Solution by MELIPC with SWM-G installed

When SWM-G is installed and operated on the MELIPC (industrial personal computer), the system offers a powerful maintenance solution utilizing the Edgecross-compatible software.

• [Predictive/preventive maintenance]

• • The user application collects data of machine diagnosis function, etc. from MR-J5-G through the communication API of SWM-G.
  • The MELIPC analyzes the collected data by using the Edgecross-compatible real-time data analyzer.

• [Corrective maintenance]

• • SWM-G collects data from the drive recorder of MR-J5-G through TCP/IP communications, which reduces troubleshooting time.

Características

Installed on a personal computer, SWM-G Motion Control Software can perform motion and network control.

• Supports a CC-Link IE TSN servo control system with the personal computer where RTX64 (real-time extension) is installed.
  (RTX64 is included with SWM-G.)
• Meets various application needs by offering various types of motion control, such as positioning, synchronous, cam, speed, and torque control using API library for motion control.
• Utilizes network control to connect and set various device stations (remote I/O modules, etc.) and TCP/IP devices.

Aceleración/desaceleración de jaloneo

In this method, an axis can be accelerated gradually through adjusting jerk so that the vibrations of the machine can be minimized.
In the example above, the constant positive jerk is applied at the start of the operation to achieve smooth acceleration.
When the axis is shifted to the constant-speed operation, the same amount of negative jerk is applied.
Ajustando el jaloneo de este modo se consigue una aceleración/desaceleración suave, al tiempo que se acorta el tiempo que se tarda en alcanzar la velocidad objetivo.
La velocidad crea una forma de curva en S.

Triggered motion

The triggered motion is a type of command that delays the execution of the motion command until the specified trigger condition is satisfied.
Axes can be started automatically based on the specified conditions by using this command, reducing the cycle time of conveyor systems, etc.
In the operation example above, right after the axis 2 starts execution of normal motion commands, the axis 1 executes the triggered motion command (delaying the execution of the command until the condition is satisfied).
When the condition is satisfied (start trigger ON) during the axis 2 operation, the axis 1 starts executing the motion command.

Synchronous control (tandem drive)

Motion Control Software enables tandem operation where the same commands can be outputted to master and following axes.

Gantry home position return

After the master and following axes pass their respective dogs, the gantry home position return stops both of the axes at the Z-phase of the master axis.
This method enables two or more axes to execute home position return simultaneously, supporting gantry systems.
