The latest version of IndraMotion for Packaging from Rexroth gives engineers even more flexibility during product and size changeover. Rexroth’s new FlexProfile function simplifies engineering development of motion sequences in highly versatile packaging machines. Other new features include automatic program code generation and enhanced safety functions.
With Rexroth’s FlexProfile, the engineer has even greater flexibility to deploy single-axis or synchronised motion solutions with minimal software effort. A library containing more than 30 motion rules or a conventional ECAM table can be used to define the individual motion sequence for each axis. Every motion segment can be referenced to a leading axis position or time segment.
When using Rexroth’s FlexProfile, a relationship can be established between motion segments on multiple axes to ensure that the pre-defined dependencies are retained when parameters are changed. As a result, no software or programming effort is needed for product or size changeover. The engineer enters key parameters at the start of a new project, and the system then generates the basic program code. This allows the engineer to concentrate on the implementation of the process functionality without having to worry about the basic functions.
Drive, controller and PC based versions of IndraMotion for Packaging from Rexroth offer the ideal system solution for pharmaceutical, food and packaging machines. All of the hardware versions share the same software architecture and the same engineering tool. Rexroth’s IndraMotion for Packaging fully supports the new Ethernet-based SERCOS III that offers improved performance and enhanced communications between the controller and the field devices.
