OSAI SyncMotion

OSAI SyncMotion is the PC-based and completely OPEN automation system for the control and visualization of general technical processes in machine, factory, process or building automation.

A standard PC hardware platform allows to achieve maximum benefits in terms of power, computational speed, cost effectiveness and availability of standard peripherals. The low-power CPU (without fan) and the solid state disk ensure reliability in industrial environments.

WindowsCE.Net 4.2 the embedded operating system from Microsoft ensures reliability, performance and a high level real-time.

This new automation solution is proposed as a PanelPC with 6.4”, 10.4”, 12.1” or 15” TFT and touch screen, ideal for mounting on machine, or as black box, if the customer wants to take care of the operator interface on his own.

SoftPLC: the integrated SoftPLC run-time module is designed for complex and time-critical operation.

The engineering tool is a user friendly, graphic oriented environment allowing high level and multitasking, IEC 61131-3 compliant programming. Users can choose among five different programming languages to best fit their preference and the application: Instruction List, Ladder Diagram, Function Block, Structured Text or Sequential Flow Chart.

The standard IEC 61131-3 libraries are completed with a, continuously expanding, motion control library to manage synchronized axes motion tasks. Homing, positioning, velocity or torque control, master slave synchronization are some of the axes function blocks included in the motion library.

A symbolic debugger allows step by step execution, setting breakpoints and monitor variable values at run-time. Application downloading and debugging is based on a standard Ethernet TCP/IP communication between the engineering tool and the control unit.

Fieldbus: OSAI SyncMotion includes a CANopen master interface provided of dedicated processor to avoid overload to the main Distributed modular I/O’s and intelligent brushless drives are connected directly to the CANopen. A standard configuration tool, accessible from the SoftPLC engineering, can be used to setup the CANopen network and to easily add any third-party, standard device. As an option, also Profibus can be supplied as fieldbus.

HMI: automation requires also a sophisticated user interface. OSAI Sync-Motion optionally includes MoviconCEOnBoard, the run-time module of Movicon9.1 a SCADA software and HMI visualization tool, easy-to-use and extremely powerful, worldwide employed to visualize , control and supervision any
automation application.
