The Motion Control Platform

The ISG-MCP is a PLC library that can also be delivered in IEC 61131 source if requested by customers. It enables PLC application programmers to program motion tasks in accordance with the PLCopen standard within an IEC 61131 PLC. All functions required internally for motion generation, for example interpolation, position control, operator control of the drive interfaces, etc. are hidden from the PLC application programmer. The ISG-MCP provides the function blocks, data structures and state models defined in the PLCopen specification [1].
