SMP3200 General Motion Control Software

The SMP3200 soft motion controller provides high-end motion control (up to 32 axes), an industry-standard PLC, and a Windows-based GUI, in a single software package. This controller is truly PC-based, providing an all-software motion and machine control solution that requires no proprietary motion control/communication boards. The SMP3200 motion control software for EtherCAT runs on a standard LAN port of the PC or a generic NIC card in Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows XPe. Developers can easily embed their motion programming within their customized HMI application, using C/C++ or Visual Basic in .NET environment.

The SMP3200 of multi-axis, high-speed controller is ideal for motion control applications in many industries: packaging, materials handling, pick and place, converting, laser cutting/engraving, plasma cutting, wood-working, semiconductor manufacturing, flat panel display manufacturing, and more

SMP3200 is an all-software, real-time, high-end general motion controller for EtherCAT that provides:

  • Completely synchronized motion control of 32 axes at 0.5 ms interpolation cycle
  • Multiple system (channel) control up to 32 systems (independent channels)
  • Many CNC functions such as contour control, advanced smoothing filters, velocity feedforward, dynamic profiling and so on
  • An industry-standard PLC (ladder logic program) including PLC axis control
  • Versatile motion library (APIs) for easy development of complex motion/machine control applications in .NET environment for Windows
  • The SMP Console - a Windows application that allows users to set up, tune and run an SMP system. A memory mode operation is available to program and run motion programs with a G-code like motion programming language
