With MultiServo, AMK is launching compact multi-axis devices with an integrated power supply, all safety functions and motion control. As the multi-axis devices handle the computationally intensive interpolation, this real-time-critical task package can be completely transferred to the drive level. The approach derived from this is to dispense with industrial hardware for non-time-critical sequence control and instead use standard devices from the consumer sector such as smartphones or tablets. Communication between the smartphone and drive takes place via OPC UA. This protocol provides all the necessary security mechanisms for secure communication, with the transmission medium, such as wireless, only playing a subordinate role. Apps provide the necessary functionality for control, operation, visualization and other topics. For example, the movement of a gantry robot can be taught in on a teach app so that the machine can then be moved using a smartphone. Once the travel profile has been defined, the profile data can be transferred to the 'MultiServo' in order to operate the gantry robot in automatic mode. Additional service apps provide the user with various service functionalities, from commissioning to predictive maintenance functions.
