Parameterizing instead of programming: The 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 to challenging motion sequencesand motion control functions such as electronic cam and robotics. Nonetheless, if the application requires, MOVIKIT® software modules can of course also be freely programmed.

The MOVIKIT® software modules are perfectly coordinated with MOVI-C® CONTROLLER control technology. Using the MOVISUITE® engineering software, the appropriate MOVIKIT® software module is allocated 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 can 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.

The MOVIKIT® Winder software module provides functions in a program library for implementing winding applications. As a result, users can wind or unwind materials while maintaining a constant tension or a constant path velocity.

In winding applications, different materials and mechanical conditions call for different winding technologies.

The following standard processes are supported:

  • Tension-determining winder
    • Torque control (with optional tension control)
    • Dancer position control
    • Tension control via regulation of the setpoint speed through tension measurement
  • Speed-determining winder with open-loop speed control (optional closed-loop speed control)

"StackerCrane" category

The "StackerCrane" category includes MOVIKIT® software modules for implementing storage/retrieval systems.

MOVIKIT® StackerCrane effiDRIVE® can be used for all storage/retrieval systems with up to four travel axes and four lifting axes. Optimizing the travel cycles of vertical lifting drives and horizontal travel drives achieves energy savings of up to 25%. Furthermore, the functionality can be expanded by adding multi-axis control or vibration damping, for example.

The software modules "MOVIKIT® StackerCrane MultiMotion" and "MOVIKIT® StackerCrane MultiAxisController" are available for adding subordinate single axes or axis groups.

The MOVIKIT® StackerCrane MultiAxisController software module is used to add several axes in one direction of travel under MOVIKIT® StackerCrane effiDRIVE®. Single axes that are subordinate to MOVIKIT® StackerCrane MultiAxisController require the MOVIKIT® StackerCrane MultiMotion software module.

MOVIKIT® StackerCrane MultiMotion is used to add a single axis in one direction of travelunder MOVIKIT® StackerCrane effiDRIVE®.

The MOVIKIT® CombiTelescope software module makes it possible to implement "combi-telescope" load handling devices, which are primarily used for storage and retrieval in automated small parts warehouses. The combi-telescope consists of a telescope and up to four belts. The MOVIKIT® Gearing software module is used for the subordinate single axes (telescope and belts).

The functions at a glance:

  • Startup via graphical interfaces in the MOVISUITE® engineering software
  • Provision of the following operating modes:
    • Jog mode
    • Referencing mode
    • Positioning mode (absolute)
    • Storage
    • Retrieval
  • Parameterization of the "storage" and "retrieval" functions via process data
  • Diagnostic monitor for monitoring and controlling the axis
  • Standardized process data interface

"Visualization" category

The software modules included in the "Visualization" category make it possible to generate clear, graphical depictions of the data from the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER.

Das MOVIKIT® Visualization basic sorgt dafür, dass der MOVI-C® CONTROLLER progressive UHX65A mit einer grafischen Benutzerschnittstelle (Visualisierung) ausgestattet werden kann.

Dazu muss das Softwaremodul auf dem Windows-Teil (CFast-SpeicherkarteOMW) des MOVI-C® CONTROLLER installiert werden. Auf diese Weise lassen sich die vom MOVI-C® CONTROLLER erzeugten Daten grafisch visualisieren. Für die Anzeige ist die lokale DisplayPort-Schnittstelle oder – über ein abgesetztes Browser-Panel – die Web-Visualisierung nutzbar.

MOVIKIT® Visualization flexible is used to equip a separate Windows device with a graphical user interface (visualization). To achieve this, the software module must be installed on this Windows HMI device.

That makes it possible to create a 1:1 connection between the external Windows device and a MOVI-C® CONTROLLER, and the data from this controller can be depicted graphically.

The local options on the Windows device can be used for the display, or a separate browser panel can be connected via the integrated web server.

MOVIKIT® Visualization multi is required to equip a separate Windows device with a graphical user interface (visualization). To achieve this, the software module must be installed on this Windows HMI device.

An external Windows device can thus combine the data from several MOVI-C® CONTROLLERS and display this data collectively in graphical form.

The local options on the Windows device can be used for the display, or a separate browser panel can be connected via the integrated web server.

The MOVIKIT® Web Visualization software module is required to implement a display and diagnostics option on independent display units. The software module must be implemented on a MOVI-C® CONTROLLER for this purpose.

This means that motion control functions and visualization can be implemented on a single MOVI-C® CONTROLLER.

All that is needed for display purposes is a device capable of browsing the web, such as a web panel, tablet, or smartphone.

"Bundle" category

The "Bundle" category combines several MOVIKIT® 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.
