Robotics has been an ever growing field for quite some time now. While robotics is a massive field one of the most important sub fields of robotics that could be considered the basis behind robotic manipulation is motion control..
At the core of robotics is definitely motion control, therefore requiring a motion controller with software logic and the hardware capabilities to ensure accuracy, precision, and reliability. At servo tech we offer motion control solutions as well as services to our customer ranging from concept development all the way to final system delivery as well as life cycle support
The Motion Controller is the “brain”, vision system is the “eyes”, drives and motors are the “muscle”, robots are “other smart devices”, HMI is the “human command center” of the system. Communication between Motion Controller and EtherCAT drives and IO is via EtherCAT,. Communication between the Motion Controller, Vision Systems, Robots are via Ethernet/IP. IoT connection to Internet is via MQTT over standard Ethernet. With these configurable components designed as a state of art Industry 4.0 technology, the Oracle Robotics Motion Control Solutions platform can be customized for any machine motion control application. Motion controller is based on industrial PC, EtherCAT hardware and CODESYS/IEC 61131-3 software. Hardware and software are based on global open standards, benefiting from economies of scale, flexibility, expandability, rugged design, supplier independence. Any EtherCAT compatible servo drive and IO module can be added from any combination of suppliers. Our software technology tightly integrates communication between the motion controller, vision systems and other robot controllers in the automation project. We provide tested software function blocks for all major vision system suppliers and industrial robots for real time communication.
