High level XPlanar components

The XPlanar system consists of:

• Tiles
• APS4322-0000 or APS42xx-1x00. The tiles contain all the necessary power electronics, measurement electronics and communication electronics
• Movers
• APM4220-0000, APM4221-0000, APM4330-000x and APM4550-0000
• Scalable IPC

The TF5890 | TwinCAT 3 XPlanar software enables the creation of corresponding objects in the TwinCAT configuration tree, which act as interfaces between the hardware components and the automation software.

The XPlanar software requires coordination between several components:

• TcCOM objects
• TF5890 | TwinCAT 3 XPlanar
• TF5430 | TwinCAT 3 Planar Motion
• PLC
• Planar Motion and Physics libraries, which are provided by the TF5430, allowing access to high-level motion commands of the XPlanar system
• The XPlanar Utility library, which is provided by the TF5890, and allows access to the driver objects and their parameters
