SIEMENS MOTION CONTROLLERS IN INDIA
We distribute Siemens Motion Controller in Chennai, Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Delhi.
A motion controller typically contains movement profiles and defines target positions for the application. It also generates the trajectories that the motor must follow to execute the commands. In many cases, motion control operates as a closed-loop system, where the controller continuously monitors the actual path and makes real-time corrections to address any positioning or speed discrepancies.
SIMOTION, Siemens’ advanced motion control system, delivers exceptional performance across various machine concepts while offering maximum modularity. With SCOUT TIA, engineers benefit from a unified and efficient development environment integrated into the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal. The system also supports SINAMICS drive-integrated safety functions, enabling tailored safety solutions for specific applications.
The latest software updates enhance SIMOTION’s capabilities by introducing features such as Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), OPC UA communication protocol, and the ability to conduct user program tests without the need for hardware. These advancements further strengthen SIMOTION’s flexibility, openness, and efficiency in software development, providing users with a powerful, scalable solution for complex motion control needs.
