The MOVIKIT® software module OPC-UA provides an OPC UA server and an OPC UA client on MOVI C® CONTROLLERs of performance classes UHX25A, UHX45A, UHX65A, and UHX86A. Both the server and the client implement communication according to the OPC UA specification following the "Micro Embedded Device Server" profile based on the OPC Foundation communication stack. Communication takes place via the binary protocol and standard port 4840.

It can communicate with OPC UA clients in the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER from SEW EURODRIVE as well as with devices from other manufacturers such as HMI panels, augmented reality solutions, or tablets for visualizations. The OPC UA client can communicate with other OPC UA servers via the data source manager.
In the simplest case, the client and server communicate unencrypted without certifi-cates and with deactivated user management; logging in is anonymous. Encrypted communication with certificates and/or user management can also be used. Pub-Sub communication is not supported.

The "DriveRadar®" category includes MOVIKIT® software modules that compare the calculated data with the actual values of the application, and detects and evaluates deviations or modifications. This enables continuous monitoring and diagnosis of the application to detect and correct anomalies at an early stage.
The software module MOVIKIT® ModelBasedMonitoring is a diagnosis and analysis tool based on mathematical calculation models from a huge range of applications. The calculated data is compared with the application's actual values, and statistical evaluations are performed. Deviations that breach a configured threshold can trigger warnings or alarms. The recorded data may also be exported as a CSV or JSON file and processed for further diagnostics
In contrast to conventional condition monitoring, no reference curves need to be rec-orded to use the software module. This makes the software module suited to chang-ing curve profiles (e.g. for changes in format). In combination with conventional con-dition monitoring, pre-existing reference curves can be transformed into new curve profiles. Reference curves do not have to be taught in again because no wear is taught in and is considered as the normal condition.
Calculated data can be exported and then imported into the SEW Workbench for pro-ject planning purposes. Project planning is therefore even possible for complex curve profiles, which can be mapped by the SEW-Workbench.

In contrast to the "MultiMotion" category, no programming skills are required for startup or diagnostics.
The software module MOVIKIT® ProcessData sends fieldbus data from a higher-level controller directly and without modifying them to the inverter via the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER. In this way, the basic functions of the inverters in use can be activated. The scope of functions that can be used depends on the inverter used, e.g. whether encoder feedback is available.

The software module MOVIKIT® Velocity allows for implementing applications with velocity control and a predefined fieldbus interface. The software module mainly uses the basic functions of the inverter in use by activating the respective function blocks (such as FCB 05 velocity control) depending on the application. This means the scope of functions that can be used depends on the inverter in use (e.g. encoder feedback available).

The "StackerCrane" category includes MOVIKIT® software modules for implementing storage/retrieval systems.
The software module MOVIKIT® StackerCrane is used to operate storage/retrieval systems in an energy-efficient manner. Up to 10% of energy can be saved by optimized travel cycles of the lifting and travel drives.
The software module can be used to implement storage/retrieval systems with up to 4 travel axes and up to 4 lifting axes. Both directions of movement require at least one external encoder each, or must be connected to the environment without slip. Target positions and dynamics parameters for the travel and lifting axes are specified by means of a user-friendly process data interface.
The following software modules are available on the lower-level single axes or axis groups:
The software module can also be used with only one lower-level axis. This increases the scope of functions as shown in the figure below..

The "Bundle" category combines several MOVIKIT<sup>®</sup> software modules that are used to configure particular target applications or machine types. Preselected software modules for these machine-specific functions significantly reduce the amount of configuration work required, while package discounts result in far lower costs compared to individual licenses. Bundles therefore save you both time and money!
The core functions included in the machine-specific bundles are synchronization of drives (MultiMotion Camming), the PackML-compliant programming template (AutomationFramework), and machine visualization (Web Visualization).
And to get you to the finished machine faster, we provide you with a perfectly matched StarterSet as a basic package of software and hardware, which you can expand individually, depending on your machine requirements.
