Integrating servo drive controllers into a control system is sometimes a demanding task. If both come from the same manufacturer, it is usually not too complicated. There are usually suitable software tools and supporting documentation. Both participants know each other, data is exchanged automatically, both speak the same language and the function blocks are clearly described. The situation is different when the servo drive controller from manufacturer A is to be integrated into a control system from manufacturer B.
The CMMT servo drive controller family makes it really easy for commissioning engineers and programmers with the Profidrive profile! In this webinar we will show you how to integrate the components into the Siemens world using Profinet and the TIA portal. You will be surprised how quickly and easily the CMMT servo drive controller can be put into operation. These topics await you in detail:

Simplified Motion Series: Electrical automation requires extensive expertise in electrics and software development. And because it also requires higher project budgets than pneumatic solutions, complex motion requirements have been reserved for it until now.
The Simplified Motion Series from Festo sets a new milestone in electrical automation. For the first time, it combines the simplicity of pneumatics with the advantages of electrics. The fully integrated units are commissioned without any software. This "plug-and-work" principle reduces complexity and installation effort to a minimum. The solutions of the Simplified Motion Series are ideal for simple movements between two mechanical end positions. You can use a freely selectable intermediate position in addition to the end positions.
Find out how simple and flexible electrical automation is with the Simplified Motion Series:
