any location in the companys LAN or from any
location in the world, for example via a modem,
can operate this on-site diagnostic PC remotely
or use it as gateway for the drives from
SEW-EURODRIVE.

Project management, functions and tools

Project management provides more transparency

Users need various visualizations, for example a view of the units, the machine, or part of
the system, but they also need to view the network with the communication interfaces.
The project management provides this transparency.
Project management can be used to structure the units in such a way that they display the
function of the machine or system. This structure is independent of the communication link.

Advantages of project management:

Units are structured according to their
functions in the machine or system
Structured file storage
The machine or system can be projected
in offline mode

Simple comparision of actually present and

online accessible data of units with data of
the projected units
The same (projected) units can be used with
different communication links

Roller conveyor

Hoist/lowering station

Rotary table

Skillet

The tools can be used individually or combined

MOVITOOLS MotionStudio of SEW-EURODRIVE
is characterized by being straightforward, userfriendly and universally applicable.
The tools are integrated in a modular software
system and can be used for all units. Whether
you use them individually or combined, the tools
are essential for quick and effective automation.

The MOVITOOLS MotionStudio detects all the

stations connected to the configured interfaces
automatically and displays them as nodes in a
unit tree.
The required tools can be selected and started
quickly and easily in the context menu of each
node.

Startup function
Tool

Description

Startup wizard

To optimally adjust the inverter to the connected motor and encoder.

The Startup wizard offers the user step-by-step support for entering the necessary application
data, such as acceleration, deceleration and velocity.
The tool then calculates all parameters for motor control and optimizes the control loops for
current, speed, and position.

Manual operation

The tool allows for manually controlling the units directly from the PC.

Functions and Tools

Parameter setting function

Tool

Description

Parameter tree

The "Parameter tree" tool of MOVITOOLS MotionStudio provides a uniform editor for setting the
parameters of the various unit types.
Parameter tree at a glance:
Managing unit parameters
Reading/changing individual unit parameters
Comparing parameters of two units or between backup copy and unit
Searching unit parameters
Documenting unit parameters
Creating individual views of a group of unit parameters

PDO Editor

The PDO Editor (Process Data Object Editor) is a tool for the MOVIAXIS servo inverter for graphic
parameter setting of process data.
The process data are linked using drag and drop, which means the interface between inverter
and higher-level controller is configured graphically.
Configuration at a glance:
Parameter setting of input/output terminals
Graphical parameter setting of process data
Parameter settings for function control blocks of MOVIAXIS

Gateway Configurator

Uniform tool for diagnostics and configuration of the following fieldbus gateways:
UFx41B
DFx
MOVIFIT, Classic and Technology function levels

Diagnostics and visualization function

Tool

Description

Status

The tool supports diagnostics of the unit, provides general unit status information, and as allows
for performing a manual unit reset.

Application Builder

Editor for creating application-specific visualizations and application-specific diagnostics.

Direct communication to parameters and variables enables the user to display actual values and
messages, and modify process values and data.
A direct visual reference to the machine or system is created by the integration of graphics and
images.
The Application Builder prepares the application in such a way that the user only has to enter
mechanical data for startup. If the user creates a diagnostics monitor, all process data, terminal
states and text messages will be available at a glance.
The visualization can even be linked with the associated inverter program (IPOS) and the
required parameter settings via file download. This enables user-specific condensation of
the diverse functionality of drive inverters and controls so that even non-specialists will be
able to operate the units.

Fieldbus monitor

The tool allows for

Communication diagnostics between fieldbus and unit (monitor mode)
Setpoint specification to the unit independent of the controller (control mode)

Scope

The Scope tool is an oscilloscope program (diagnostics of process values by recording in real
time) that can be used for all inverters to optimize the drive.
Overview of the scope tool:
Visualization: Scope can display up to 8 analog and digital measured variables in differently
colored curves. Both the x-axis and the y-axis can be scaled as required.
Scope also enables the user to record digital input and output signals of the inverter.
Complete program sequences of the master controller are recorded and analyzed in this way.
Scope supports simple documentation of the set parameters and the recorded measuring data
by means of the "save" and "print" options.

Functions and Tools

Programming function
Tool

Description

PLC Editor

For programming the MOVI-PLC controller series; various libraries are offered independent of
the unit.
Libraries:
Efficient programming demands user-friendly function modules that enable fast and approved
solutions.
The PLC Editor provides a comprehensive range of function modules for a wide variety of tasks,
arranged in hierarchical libraries according to functionality. In addition to a library for standard IEC
functions, there is also a library for each drive electronics component, in which modules provide
the corresponding drive functionality. The libraries also contain the familiar PLCopen-certified
motion blocks.
Libraries for technology functions are available, such as synchronous operation, electronic cam,
virtual encoder and cam controller, right through to ready-to-use application solutions, such as
handling.
These function modules can be combined easily to create individual, tailor-made solutions.
