The SMP™ Series:
Complete and Versatile Motion/Machine Control Solutions
|
Overview
SMP general motion controllers provide high-end motion control
(up to 16 axes), an industry-standard PLC, and a Windows-based
GUI, in a single software package. These controllers are truly
PC-based, providing all-software motion and machine control
solutions that require no motion control/PLC boards.
This SMP series of multi-axis, high-speed controllers is
ideal for motion control applications in many industries:
packaging, materials handling, pick and place, converting,
food processing, laser cutting/engraving, plasma cutting,
wood-working, semiconductor and more.
SMP products run on Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows XPe,
and include the following components:
|
 |
| |
- The SMP Motion Engine — a real-time soft motion control
engine for high-performance, highly-coordinated motion control
of up to 16 axes
- The SMP Console — a Windows application that allows users
to set up, tune and run an SMP system. A memory mode operation
is available to program and run motion programs with a G-code
like motion programming language
- A real-time kernel for Windows
- Motion Development Kit (MDK)
Standard Package
- LadderWorks
PLC, including:
- The LadderWorks
PLC Engine — a real-time soft PLC engine for industry-standard
ladder logic control with axis modules (independent and individual
positioning of PLC axes)
- LadderWorks
Console — a graphical PLC ladder diagram editor,
monitor, debugger and compiler for Windows
- PLC utility tools
SMP functions facilitate the setup, configuration, servo tuning
and testing of an SMP system, as well as providing real-time monitoring
of motion, I/O and PLC status.
SMP solutions offer great flexibility. Developers can easily embed
their motion programming within their customized HMI application,
using C/C++, Visual Basic 6.0 or .NET 2.0. In addition, some SMP
products offer motion programming in a motion language similar to
G code, with an SMP Motion Parser that provides powerful, automatic
execution of motion programs in real-time.

SMP Motion Development Kit (MDK)
SMP MDK (Standard Package included) has made it easy for users
to create or customize their own SMP application in C/C++, Visual
Studio 6.0 and .NET 2.0 for Windows 2000/XP/XPe. SMP Motion and
Logic APIs with plenty of sample source code in the MDK allow customers
to easily program their own GUI or text-based SMP application. These
extensive APIs are provided for complete and full access to all real-time
processes and resources, including device handling, system initialization,
parameter settings, motion control commands, manual operation commands,
automated operation commands, testing commands, I/O commands,
PLC commands, motion and servo status monitoring, and many more.
The Visual Basic source code of the SMP Console, an intensive motion
application for Windows, is available with the MDK.
Also available is the SMP Simulator that allows users to "play"
with SMP motion products without having hardware or motors connected
to the PC. The SMP Simulator can be used not only for SMP application
development, but also for training end users of the developed SMP
applications.
The SMP Console
The SMP Console is a Windows application for up to 16-axis control
included with all SMP products. The SMP Console allows users to
set up, tune and run SMP systems with the following features:
- Manual operation modes include jogging
(regular and incremental), and homing
- Memory operation with a G code-like motion
language (SMP450 and SMP850 only)
- Test and tuning operation modes, including
velocity frequency/step response and position frequency/step response
in either sinusoidal or square wave
- Enhanced data sample and plot utilities
(including continuous plot), for a lively visualization of system
performance
