Motion Control Overview

Complete Application-Ready

Platforms for General Motion Control

Tasks

Advantech offers application-ready platforms that range from industrial workstations

and industrial-grade CPUs, to motion control, encoder input and isolated I/O cards

for general motion control (GMC) applications such as SMT/PCB, semiconductor and

LCD manufacturing machinery. Advantech provides a full-range of industrial computing

platforms that include high-brightness LCD displays, keypads, up to 20-slot backplanes

and redundant power supplies for machine builders.

Nowadays general motion applications are divided into two functions - centralized and

distributed motion control solutions. For centralized motion control, ASIC-based motion

controllers are entry level that allow customers to easily build their own motion machines.

As complicated and high performance applications are increasing, Advantech has recently

developed SoftMotion control modules which are DSP-based to help customers do

more tasks that ASIC-based motion modules can't do, such as gantry control, trajectory

planning, electrical-CAM and so on. Furthermore, in order to enhance performance

and stability, customized ﬁrmware in SoftMotion will be possible and can add secure

protection for authorization. Advantech provides 2,4,6 and 8 axis motion modules to

fulﬁll the different motion applications.

AMONet - Advantech Distributed

Motion Control Solutions

Motion control is growing in complexity as the number of axis in newly developed

machines with motion control increases each year. Distance is also becoming an issue, as

motors are located further and further away from the host computer. AMONet (Advantech

Motion Network) was engineered to tackle the problems of increasing spending on

wiring and maintenance of these complex motion control systems, and it also gets rid

of distance limitations.

The ﬁrst series of distributed motion control products from Advantech are called the

AMONet RS-485 Series. AMONet RS-485 products are categorized as Master cards or

Slave modules. While the Master card is kept in the host PC, the slave modules can be

distributed so that they are next to motor drivers on the factory ﬂoor. The communication

speed between the AMONet RS-485 slave modules can be up to 20 Mbps. This makes

it possible to scan 2048 I/O points within 1.04 ms (or 1024 I/O points in 0.56 ms).

Furthermore, an AMONet RS-485 master will update the I/O status automatically, and

map data into local memory. Software running on the host PC can then read the status

by simply reading the onboard memory, so no polling of slave modules is necessary.

Each port of a master card can control up to 2048 I/O connections or 256 motion axes,

so future extensions are easily implemented. The distance between a master card and its

slave modules can be up to 100 meters, and this distance is covered with a cost-effective

Cat 5 network cable. In addition to saving wiring costs, debugging and maintenance are

also simpliﬁed.

Another advantage of AMONet RS-485 is its compatibility with motor drivers from different

vendors. Advantech provides specially designed wiring boards for popular motion drivers

from vendors such as Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Yaskawa and Delta . This makes conﬁguration

easier, as pin-to-pin cables can be used. Having a selection of motor vendors can also

be an advantage when sourcing of a certain motor is difﬁcult.

Motion control and I/O functions with AMONet RS-485 use the same library. This unique

feature saves time, as programmers do not need to study both a motion library and an I/O

library. You can also connect to a manual pulse generator directly to adjust and calibrate

the system without having to write programs ﬁrst.

AMONet makes machine building with motion control easier. The savings made on wiring

and programming effort, as well as the compatibility with a wide range of popular motors

have already led to many requests for AMONet products.
