Lenze Programming Software

[Carmel Useted]

Lenzea global manufacturer of electrical and mechanical drives, motion control and automation technology, is paving the way for easy configuration of pick-and-place robotics used in the areas of intralogistics, packaging technology, assembly and material handling systems. Robotic motion for gantry systems and automatic stackers is designed more easily with the robotics module in the Lenze FAST application software.

Gantry robotic systems are used primarily for stacking and moving wood, metals, plastics, glass or other materials. The Lenze FAST technology module for pick-and-place or any complex movement combines robotic functions in a drive solution that is as easy to parameterize as a single-axis movement. The FAST module effectively replaces PLC-controlled gantries with sequential motion commands that can be tailored to specific tasks. Intrinsically synchronous travel profiles result in substantially less wear on the mechanical parts of a machine than point-to-point positioning. Smarter path planning means a machine can be designed for higher energy efficiency and faster operation using smaller drives.

Based on PLCopen Part 4 for all main and auxiliary axes and using the IEC 61131 programming environment, FAST software technology allows integration of additional drive tasks, such as upstream and downstream conveyor drives using the same controller and inverter drives. A kinematic model developed by Lenze in partnership with universities simplifies the steps needed to integrate robots into an overall automation system. Even complex drive systems requiring multi-axis coordination can be programmed quickly. By streamlining the engineering process, FAST modules allow design engineers to devote more of their time to optimizing value-added machine features.

Lenze offers integrated FAST modules for different types of gantry robots, in addition to modules for Delta 2, Delta 3, buckling arm and SCARA robots. Every FAST application software module comes with a visualization system for testing purposes.

The library helps reduce the time and costs associated with engineering resources previously needed to convert and rewrite ladder code. By simplifying code requirements for movement through the PackML mode/state matrix, the Lenze library allows copy-and-paste replication of the original code for use by customers in the programming environment of their choosing.

Programmable digital and analog I/O allow the drive to be configured for many application specific tasks such as multiple preset speeds, electronic braking and motor jogging to name a few. Like all AC Tech sub-micro drives, the SMVector uses EPM memory technology for fast and efficient programming.

Lenze is releasing a new version of the PLC programming software "PLC Designer'. The new version 3.5 is a low-cost and powerful programming tool using the new CoDeSys 3 for logic and motion functionality. PLC Designer allows programmers to easily get started with the powerful language structures of IEC 61131-3. The editor and debugging functions are based on the sophisticated development environments of high-level programming languages such as Visual C++. Function blocks are certified according to PLCopen parts 1 and 2. Thus the software is particularly adaptable and reliable through extensive use of standards.

PLC Designer is created for easy use with systems containing elements such as controllers, visualisation, I/O and drives. Project examples are laid out within the software and these can easily be overwritten, making the programming task more like configuration. Five different languages from IEC 61131-3 are available to choose from: Instruction List, Ladder Diagram, Function Block, Structured Text and Sequential Function Chart. In addition there is a powerful CFC editor in which the program elements can be freely positioned in the workspace. Libraries are built in for Lenze drives and I/O, also PLC Designer interfaces with the Lenze visualisation software VisiWinNET. Web-based parameter setting is available, allowing all key commissioning and diagnostic work to be performed without a separate PC application.

PLC Designer is structured around the Lenze concept for controller-based automation. This means it is quick and easy to include DIN rail controllers such as the 3200C and the new c300 together with the I/O system 1000. Optimum high-performance motion can be added with the i700 multi-axis servo drives.

Lenze PLC Designer software is low cost, with a single licence at less than 400. There is a 30-day free trial period available. For the programming and commissioning of controller-based automation systems, it offers faster project times and reduced workloads. More information is available at www.lenze.com.

Medical Informatics deals with topics related to medicine and informatics. A study program that qualifies students for future-oriented and crisis-proof professional fields and brings together two interesting and complex subject areas.

Modern healthcare is inconceivable without intelligent software and networked devices. The computer tomograph produces digital images of the inside of the human body, which the clinic sends to the GP's surgery with a click. Diabetics can manage their condition independently with a blood glucose meter and app. In rural areas, telemedicine supports the care of sick people.

Three examples that show the diverse areas of application of medical informatics. It works at the interface between computers, people, medicine, care and innovative technology. This includes image and signal processing as well as software development and the management of medical information systems. In the Bachelor's study program, for example, you will deal with electronic patient records and how they help to provide better care for sick people.

In the first three semesters, you will acquire all the essential basics of computer science and learn how to program, among other things. You will then expand your knowledge of software technology, databases and IT infrastructure. Mathematics is also an important component. At the same time, you will learn the basics of medical informatics and the fundamentals of human medicine. To complete your professional qualification, business administration and technical English are on the curriculum.

The six-semester course, or seven semesters with a practical semester, offers specializations in the fields of telematics and telemedicine, visualization and interaction for medicine, signal and image processing for medicine as well as data protection and security.

As you progress, you will work on a project-related and interdisciplinary basis. For example, you can develop an ultrasound simulation in virtual space. Medical programming and mathematical knowledge will be combined. This includes extracting and measuring bones from X-ray images or generating 3D objects from magnetic resonance imaging data sets.

If you have opted for the seven-semester study option, you will complete an entire practical semester in a software company, hospital or other institution related to medical informatics before graduating. This allows you to put your knowledge into practice during your studies and get to know everyday working life.

This is a thematic overview of the course content. Detailed information on the exact names of the courses, information on ECTS or semester hours per week can be found in the examination regulations and in the module handbook.
