Description
This training course includes basic concepts and practical application for linear motion control. The trainee will learn about stepper and servo motors, encoders, linear actuators, drives and Profinet or Profibus communication. Moreover, the practical applications will include PLC programming in TIA Portal or Step7 for drive control. The theoretical part will include notions about close loop control for speed and position.
Target group: Electricians, mechanics and engineers
Content:
• Motion control elements – short theoretical presentation (servo, stepper, encoder, motion profile, drive)
• Drives configuration and parametrization considering different motor types and mechanical solutions in Festo Configuration Tool (FCT)
• Motion profiles
• Step7/TIA Portal programming
• Profinet/ Profibus for PLC – motion drive connection
• LD programming language
• Elementary logic instruction set
• Operation and maintenance
Objectives:
At the end of this seminar, the trainees will be able to:
• Understand, describe and analyze a closed-loop control for motion control
• Parametrize and configure a servo drive with FCT
• Configure Profinet communication between a motion drive and a PLC
• Develop and commission a motion control application with PLC
• Operate and maintain a motion control driver (backup, restore, diagnostic)
Duration: 3 days
Note: Enrollment and participation in this course requires basic knowledge in the field.
