SIMOTION P350-3 Motion Controller Siemens

Обзор

The SIMOTION P350-3 Motion Controller is a PC-based, open Motion Control System. The use of an industrial PC platform facilitates the running of the SIMOTION machine application comprising of PLC, motion control and HMI functions alongside standard PC applications in one platform. This is particularly useful in the case of applications that involve complex PC-based data management and sophisticated analysis systems.

The operating system is Windows XP Professional, with a real-time expansion for SIMOTION.

To facilitate the connection of distributed components, SIMOTION P350-3 is available in both PROFINET and PROFIBUS versions. A PROFINET Communication Board can be retrofitted to the PROFIBUS version for applications which require both PROFIBUS and PROFINET.

Interfaces

Display and diagnostics

With SIMOTION P, the display and diagnostics functions for the operating states are performed by a software monitor, which takes the form of an on-screen application window. This software monitor can be operated using your keyboard, mouse or touch panel.

Integrated interfaces

• 1 x COM 1 (V.24), VGA (via DVI adapter)
• 4 x USB 2.0
• 2 x Industrial Ethernet 10/100 Mbits (integrated)
• PROFIBUS version:
  2 x PROFIBUS DP (not isochronous, isolated), one of the interfaces can be used as an MPI interface
• PROFINET version:
  1 x PROFINET interface with 4 ports, supports PROFINET IO with IRT and RT

Expansion slots

• 1 x PCI slot 265 mm (10.43 in)
  • PROFIBUS version: occupied by IsoPROFIBUS board
  • PROFINET version: occupied by MCI-PN Communication Board
• 1 x PCI/ISA slot 170 mm (6.69 in) (free)
  e.g., for the purpose of retrofitting an additional Communication Board (simultaneous communication via PROFIBUS and PROFINET)

Communication via PROFIBUS

The PROFIBUS version features an integrated IsoPROFIBUS board, which offers two PROFIBUS DP interfaces with PROFIdrive.

The free PCI slot can be used for the purpose of retrofitting an optional MCI-PN Communication Board. This means that the PROFIBUS version can support both PROFIBUS and PROFINET on the same PC.

Communication via PROFINET

The MCI-PN Communication Board that has been integrated in the PROFINET version enables the SIMOTION P350‑3 to be connected to a PROFINET IO network. From a PROFINET perspective, the SIMOTION P350‑3 thus assumes the role of a PROFINET IO controller.

To enable it to communicate with other PROFINET controllers, the SIMOTION P350‑3 can be configured as both a PROFINET controller and a PROFINET device at the same time (I-Device).

Operator control and monitoring

SIMOTION P350‑3 can be operated in a variety of different modes:

• Headless mode:
  It can be operated without display, monitor or panel front.
• Operation with display or monitor:
  Standard SIMATIC displays or monitors can be connected at a distance of up to 5 m (16.4 ft) via the integrated DVI or VGA interface.
• Operation with SIMOTION P panel fronts:
  SIMOTION P350‑3 can be directly connected to the panel fronts for SIMOTION P via the internal LVDS interface. In this case, SIMOTION P350‑3 and the panel front are operated as a single unit. The SIMATIC Panel PC Remote Kit allows SIMOTION P350‑3 and the panel front to be operated at separate locations. The kit is capable of bridging a distance of up to 30 m (98.4 ft).

SIMOTION IT service and diagnostic functions

SIMOTION IT provides SIMOTION P with an integrated Web server on which, for example, user-specific Web pages can be stored.
Read and write access can be made to the Control Unit variables. Java scripts or applets also allow the implementation of active operation and display functions in the Web pages that can be executed on a client PC with standard Internet browser.

Panel fronts for SIMOTION P

Various panel fronts are available for the SIMOTION P Motion Controller:

• 12" with membrane-type keys
• 12" for touch screen operation, and
• 15" for touch screen operation

Expansion using distributed I/Os

PROFINET version

• Distributed I/Os (SIMATIC ET 200S/SP/M/MP/pro/eco PN)
• Distributed drives (e.g. SINAMICS S120)
• Engineering systems (PG/PC) or
• HMI devices

PROFIBUS version

• Certified PROFIBUS standard slaves (DP‑V0, DP‑V1, DP‑V2)
• Distributed I/Os (SIMATIC ET 200S/SP/M/MP/eco/pro)
• Distributed drives (e.g. SINAMICS S120)
• Engineering systems (PG/PC) or
• HMI devices

High-speed I/Os for time-critical applications

Cycle times of 250 µs can be achieved with SIMOTION P, PROFINET and the ET 200S distributed I/O system with interface module IM 151‑3 PN High Speed. This is particularly necessary for applications with fast response times (e.g. hydraulic axes).

PC technology

• Processor: Intel Pentium M 2 GHz
• Operating system: Windows XP Professional, English
• Memory: 512 MB SDRAM, upgradable to 2 GB
• Hard disk with shock damping, approx. 40 GB
• DVD-ROM drive (optional)
• Data backup/restore using the Symantec Ghost data backup software (pre-installed)
