This article presents the use of autonomous components for motion control applications in distributed automation systems. Current realizations based on IEC 61131 lack of a seamless integration into the resulting system consisting of functional units. The basis for the new concept is the PLCopen Motion Control Library which is applied to the reference model of the new standard IEC 61499.
In diesem Beitrag wird die Verwendung von autonomen Komponenten für die Steuerung von Bewegungen in verteilten Automatisierungssystemen behandelt. Aktuellen Realisierungen, die auf dem Standard IEC 61131 beruhen, fehlt hier vor allem die durchgängige Integration in das dabei entstehende System aus funktionalen Einheiten. Die Basis für das neue Konzept bildet die Motion Control Library der PLCopen, die auf das Referenzmodell der IEC 61499 angewendet wird.
