Automation equipment manufacturers are facing increasing pressure, due to technical bottlenecks, lack of suitable talent, and resource shortages due to reduced profits; Time pressure due to missed delivery deadlines, wasted too much time on basic applications, overtime debugging, etc.; Due to the complexity of equipment brought about by new technologies, product customization, and process flexibility, the requirements for drive automation systems are getting higher and higher, and one of the important manifestations is the complexity of software functions and the speed of implementation. While providing customers with high added value and ease of use, applications are increasingly becoming the core competitiveness of equipment manufacturers. Lenze's FAST Toolbox and FAST Framework, which have been specially developed for automation equipment manufacturers, provide strong support to users.
Most drivetrain suppliers on the market offer PLC Open-based motion control function blocks that do not meet the actual needs of customers in many cases, or take a lot of time to implement the required motion control, such as flying saws, cross-cutting, and color mark correction applications. Even if a customer develops the required function, it may have to be corrected several times because it is not suitable for multiple applications. Lenze FAST Toolbox was originally designed to save 70% of customer commissioning time.
On the basis of PLC Open Motion, Lenze has integrated its many years of know-how into various types of motion control function blocks, such as synchronization control, web correction control, flying saw, cross-cutting, cam, temperature control, etc.; This enables customers to realize motion control in a very short time, so as to focus on the implementation of equipment logic process and user interface, and better meet the customer's usage habits; At the same time, FAST Toolbox also focuses on the modular structure of the machine program and the standardized implementation of the touchscreen program.
The following diagram illustrates how a typical device can achieve its goals quickly with Lenze FAST Toolbox:
With Lenze FAST Toolbox, customers will get:
Reduced commissioning time and costs, fast time-to-market: the standardization of standard applications ensures this goal;
Higher throughput: Customers can focus on equipment innovation as well as product improvement;
Higher reliability: reduce manual testing and reduce the probability of errors;
If the FAST Toolbox is compared to the hands and feet of the body, then the FAST Framework is the skeleton of the body. Users need to understand and operate their own equipment from the perspective of use and maintenance, and on the basis of not affecting motion control and logic control, FAST Framework provides services including software and hardware asset management, alarm and error management services, web-based touch screen services, cloud interaction, diagnosis and so on. For Lenze's C5x0 and C750 controller families, these services run on Linux and provide an interface to the services in the user's IEC61131 programming environment.
A European chocolate equipment manufacturer commented on Lenze, "Lenze not only provides us with fast machine operation, but also greatly reduces the difficulty of commissioning and saves time to market; And from the user's point of view, it makes our equipment easier to use and has a lot of scalability. ”
Here's a video from the packaging industry that shows the unbeatable advantages of FAST on equipment:
