mechanic for concatenated motions with different motion parameters
- 3D Tracking
- Current: Tracking of objects along a predefined path (conveyour). Supports anticipatory pick
and place positions
- Free tracking allows to track freely moving objects in X,Y,Z + rotation of an auxiliary axis, e.g.
to track objects on multi carrier continously even in straight curve transitions
- Smart Template: Integrated vision system configuration
- Integrated in standard projects

EcoStruxure Machine Expert – Safety addon


EcoStruxure Machine Expert – Safety (former SoSafe programmable software) is
the software addon to program Modicon TM5CSLCp00FS safety logic controllers (1).
This addon is to be installed via Schneider Electric Installer.
Apart from the maintenance features, a dedicated license is required to program this
controller.
> Modicon TM5CSLCp00FS safety logic controllers are suitable for safety applications
requiring distributed safety connected to physical input/output devices over Sercos III
common network and certified up to EN ISO 13849-1 PLe Category 4, and EN/IEC
62061 SIL3.
> They can be added to PacDrive 3 or in a Modicon M262 Logic/Motion controller
architectures.
> The architectures comprises a PacDrive LMC motion controller or a Modicon M262
Modicon TM5CSLC300FS safety logic controller Motion controller (Sercos bus masters) and Modicon TM5CSLC safety logic controller
(Sercos slave interface).
> Modicon TM5CSLC safety logic controller manages the safety-related application
over the Sercos III bus.
> Input/outputs are connected to Sercos bus with the use of Modicon TM5 Sercos
interface module.
> Programming: Each hardware component is defined within EcoStruxure Machine
Expert environment such as the controller, Modicon TM5 (1) and Modicon TM7 (2)
safety I/O modules, Lexium 62 safety servo drives (3), and Lexium 62 ILM integrated
drives with optional safety module (4). The application program and configuration of
the safety hardware is managed within the EcoStruxure Machine Expert – Safety
editor.
