4.3 Runtime software of the Lenze Controllers
By default, the runtime software is installed in the Lenze Controller as "Logic" mode for the central
control of PLC applications.
Optionally, the "Motion" mode is available, additionally enabling extensive motion control of
Motion functions. The inverter then only acts as an actuating drive.
In addition, the "Visu" mode is available, enabling a central visualisation with the Controller.
The runtime software consists of:
• Operating system (Windows® CE)
• Software components (Logic/Motion), which for instance execute the control program.
• Optional visualisation software (»VisiWinNET« Compact CE).
Differences between "Logic" and "Motion"
Logic Motion
The controller controls...
• simple motion sequences;
• by logically
combined control signals.
The controller controls extensive motion sequences.
The runtime software "Motion" ...
• contains the PLCopen library;
• contains the "Logic" mode;
• supports "SoftMotion".
Logic applications are suitable for the control of inverters
without
a Motion functionality which ...
• execute simple motion sequences;
• can only be controlled via PLC functionality.
Motion applications are suitable...
• for the control of inverters executing complex motion
sequences of multi-axes in several dimensions;
• ...for the control of devices that are to traverse
synchronously;
• for the transfer of setpoints.
Note!
Depending on the runtime software (Logic/Motion) used, a bus system for a Lenze
device series can only be used in a limited way.
