Based on the MOVI-C® modular automation system, a decentralized controller – the MOVI-C® FIELD CONTROLLER – has also been developed for decentralized drive technology. This solution features the same functions and interfaces as the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER, making it a consistent addition to the portfolio.
The MOVI‑PLC® I/O system combines high performance levels and state-of-the-art functions with a sophisticated mechanical concept in one compact design. The wide-ranging portfolio of analog and digital MOVI-PLC® I/O modules with functional safety maximizes your flexibility.
A module unit is made up of a terminal module and an electronics module. These are connected using a secure sliding and locking mechanism. The terminal module combines clamps, a fixture for the electronics module, and the backplane bus connector. This means only the electronics module is replaced during servicing, by simply pulling it out of the terminal module. The wiring and mounting on the 35 mm DIN profile rail remain as they are. The electronics modules can be supplied with voltage and/or divided into separate potential groups by using additional supply modules.
The stepped arrangement of terminals on the terminal module using proven spring-clamp technology with highly reliable contacting enables fast, clear, and safe wiring. The integrated status LEDs and the labeling strip on the front of the electronics modules ensure unique, channel-specific assignment and clear display of the channel status. The backplane bus concept with a speed of 48 Mbit/s also makes for very short response times.
Moreover, thanks to digital input and output modules with up to 16 channels, a high system density can be achieved.
Our I/O modules can be used whenever you are looking to integrate actuators, sensors, or other field units into your automation network.

MOVIRUN® determines the type and version of the runtime system, i.e. how the commands are executed by the control technology and at what speed. The MOVIRUN® flexible version makes it possible to implement everything from simple to complex motion control functions, and facilitates the efficient application of these functions via graphical user interfaces.
Human-centered design is all about meeting the requirements that will ensure software is developed and designed around user needs, is geared towards people in general,and delivers the user experience of a state-of-the-art software package. These requirements are even described and laid down in a technical standard, specifically DIN ISO 9410-210. But what exactly are the stipulations behind this standard and its numerical code? Quite simply, they offer a definition that describes how to make software and user interfaces easier to use.
All development work should revolve around the person who will later have to work with the software. That's why most interdisciplinary teams of developers ideally like to begin by putting themselves in the shoes of users and considering questions such as: Who are the typical users? What do they want to achieve with the product? And what is the easiest way they can reach their objective?
After that, the initial prototypes are developed and subjected to thorough testing by potential users. This means any necessary optimizations can be quickly identified and put into practice. The goal throughout is to combine the highest possible level of user-friendliness and usability.
Thanks to the preconfigured MOVIKIT® software modules, any startup process can be carried out quickly and easily. Areas of application are just as varied as the motion and drive tasks that automation solutions require of drive technology – from speed control and positioning to controlling complex technology or machine modules. Users are guided intuitively through the user interface, the configuration process, and diagnostic functions. MOVIKIT® software modules are divided into different categories and are available for the various MOVIRUN® software platform versions.
MOVIKIT® offers ready-to-use software modules for everything from simple drive functions to complex motion control functions. Our goal is added value for you: Significantly reducing startup times by providing configurable automation and motion control functions.
MOVIKIT® software modules are easily started up via graphical configuration and diagnostics. Our range of standardized software modules includes everything from simple drive functions such as speed control and positioning through to complex motion sequences and motion control functions such as electronic cam and robotics. Nonetheless, if the application calls for it, MOVIKIT® software modules can, of course, also be freely programmed.
Using the MOVISUITE® engineering software, the appropriate MOVIKIT® software module is assigned directly to an axis or the controller and configured via graphical wizards and editors. As a result, you have access to all relevant parameters from motor startup to software settings in a single parameterization interface. MOVIKIT® is integrated into the IEC user program at the touch of a button, using automatic IEC code generation. As you will see, MOVIKIT® makes even this step quick and easy to complete. The software modules can be controlled from the IEC user program via a standardized, intuitive interface. Every MOVIKIT® software module offers both a conventional variable interface and an object-oriented interface for implementing cutting-edge software architectures.
MOVIRUN® is the software platform for our MOVI-C® modular automation system and the basis for using MOVIKIT® software modules. With these ready-made software modules, all motion tasks – from simple drive functions to sophisticated motion control functions – can be implemented quickly, easily, and conveniently.
The "MultiMotion" category includes MOVIKIT® software modules for implementing universal motion control functions for interpolating axes. Defined interfaces enable you to activate and, for example, overlay motion profiles directly via the fieldbus or by means of a user program in the controller.
The MOVILINK® DDI digital motor interface transmits performance, brake, and diagnostic data from the inverter to the motor. Launch the data revolution in your application, too – and let the drive do the digital lifting in your system. Whether it's a case of centralized or decentralized installation topology, a synchronous, asynchronous, or linear motor – you never again have to wonder which encoder goes with which interface. It will always match!

The communication unit of the MOVILINK DDI® interface pools your drive data. MOVILINK® DDI makes it possible to collect sensor data both on and inside the motor, and put this data to use. If complex data analyses are required, evaluate the data provided by MOVILINK® DDI using an edge processing unit. Quick, secure, and – if necessary – accessible from anywhere.
You can also use the DriveRadar® SmartDataCollector to pool and collect drive train data, the IoT Suite for the cloud-based aggregation of your data, and the DriveRadar® IoT appif you require mobile access. We offer effective digitalization to save you time and money, thanks to our fast, automated support!
We have developed special keypads to make it easy to operate and control our inverters and the decentralized drive technology of the MOVI-C® modular automation system. Straightforward handling, simple operation, and switches with optimized haptics ensure excellent ease of use. The keypads are available for the following products: MOVITRAC® advanced standard inverters, MOVITRAC® basic simple inverters, MOVIDRIVE® technology application inverters, MOVIMOT® flexible, MOVIMOT® advanced, MOVIMOT® performance, and MOVIGEAR® performance.
It's important to keep track of sophisticated drive tasks involving a large number of axes. We are therefore now offering a three-part modular system that covers every conceivable requirement – from standard to customized visualization.
The software modules in the MOVIKIT® Visualization category make it possible to create any number of complex user interfaces based on available and extendable visualization elements using the visualization editor integrated in the IEC Editor. In this way, MOVIKIT® Visualization significantly reduces development time. The generated visualization runs on the entire MOVI-C® control portfolio and on systems based on Windows 10. Frameworks (templates) enhance MOVIKIT® Visualization.
Functional safety plays a key role in boosting the productivity of machinery and systems. Safety technology ensures your staff and machinery can work safely. Our MOVISAFE® safety options with fully flexible installation help cut costs by making your applications more efficient and reducing the size of safety zones.
Our aim is to meet all functional safety requirements relating to machinery and applications that need a relatively large number of safe I/Os. For this purpose, MOVI-PLC® I/O modules include two Safety over EtherCAT® I/O modules, each with four safe inputs and outputs. Simply incorporate these into your application solution with an "SCU" safety controller. The modules incorporate external, functionally safe field units into the machinery and equipment structure and process their signals. This results in maximum flexibility when it comes to the design and architecture of applications.
MOVIDRIVE® and MOVITRAC® are the inverters used in control cabinet technology. These basic units have integrated stop and standstill safety functions. If these functions are insufficient for the application's requirements, the scalable MOVISAFE® CS..A safety functions enhance the inverters' functional safety. They take the form of plug-in expansion cards that can be retrofitted at any time.

Use in complex systems such as extensive conveyor lines, corner transfer units, and storage/retrieval systems.
Use with the complex all-rounder to control motors in horizontal and vertical materials handling technology or in hoists.
In decentralized installations, too, SEW-EURODRIVE functional safety components offer total design flexibility – even in the case of challenging safety requirements relating to people and machinery. The safety function STO (Safe Torque Off, to IEC 61800-5-2) is integrated as standard up to PL e/SIL 3 in decentralized inverters and drive units.
