PC-based SIMOTION P

SIMOTION P - Our most robust high-end motion control system

Failure rates tending to zero

Our SIMOTION P PC-based motion control system combines the robustness and openness of an industrial PC with full motion control capabilities. SIMOTION P is ideally suited for tough conditions, since the IPC design uses no rotating components such as fans or hard drives.

SIMOTION P

The perfect combination of an industrial PC with real time-capable motion control

High performance yet flexible: the SIMOTION P industrial PC impresses with its powerful PLC and full motion control functions.

Adaptable with no compromise on performance

With its broad range of PLC and motion control functionalities, SIMOTION P is suited for a wide range of applications, and its open Windows operating system makes it easy to integrate.

SIMOTION P scores with excellent flexibility – when selecting operating systems and processors, assembly options, or the wide range of communication interfaces.

Thanks to the latest PC processing architecture and cycle times of 0.250 ms with PROFINET IRT, SIMOTION P is also a strong performer.

Application areas

High-performance applications
With its high processor performance and motion control software, SIMOTION P320-4 is predestined for applications with maximum performance requirements (such as hydraulic applications with highly dynamic position and pressure control loops).
Retrofitting solutions
Its ease of assembly makes SIMOTION P suitable not only for new systems but also for existing facilities that require retrofitting to bring them up to a future-proof state of the art.

Robust applications
By avoiding the use of rotating parts in the PC, the SIMOTION P320-4 is extremely well-suited for robust applications.
Applications using the Windows operating system
Based on the Windows operating system, SIMOTION P makes the best possible use of the openness of standard applications, like flexible networking, data storage capacity, and integrated communication.

How you benefit with SIMOTION P

Cost efficiency

The powerful performance and compact, maintenance-free design ensure significant cost savings

Flexibility

Powerful motion control and PLC functionality for standard and embedded applications. Variable assembly options and the open Windows operating system offer additional flexibility.

User-friendliness

There are no maintenance expenses with SIMOTION P since it uses no fans, batteries or rotating components (such as a hard drive). The system is easy to configure: PLC and motion control applications, for example, run using the same program, and HMI Runtime can be run in parallel on the PC.

Openness

The Windows operating system of SIMOTION P makes it possible to perform complex data evaluations, display functions, or engineering tasks directly from your PC.

Customized communication

SIMOTION P comes with PROFINET onboard with three ports, and an Industrial Ethernet interface. The system can optionally be expanded using a plug-in IsoProfibus board.

Broad range of applications

A robust solution for standard and embedded applications

SIMOTION P is characterized through motion control integrated in a Windows-based industrial PC – in both the standard and embedded versions.

SIMOTION P320-4 Standard

With the powerful Intel Core i7 processor, the standard version offers fast computing power (fan-free) to ensure top performance. Since it uses the Windows 7 Ultimate operating system, it is easy to integrate into both new and existing environments. A fast internal SSD provides the storage function.

SIMOTION P320-4 Embedded

In the ultra-compact embedded version, SIMOTION P scores with a powerful Intel Core i3 processor and fan-free operation. The Windows Embedded Standard 7 operating system enables a perfect connection with its environment. The embedded version uses an internal CFast storage medium and can also be used in headless form without a screen.
