Engineering Tool AIPEX PRO

AIPEXPRO integrates all engineering tools needed during the life cycle of a machine, such as programming, parameterization, commissioning, optimization and diagnostics.
This saves you time-consuming efforts to coordinate, for example, between your PLC program containing drive parameters and the configuration of user data exchange via the field bus. AIPEXPRO does this work for you automatically and frees you from all tasks not directly tied to your application.

Benefits:
•  All programming languages according to IEC 61131-3
•  Economical generation of your machine software
•  Reduction of the time-to-market of your machine
•  Realize innovative machine concepts per drag & drop
•  Comprehensive preprogrammed AMK technology functions
•  Integrated web visualization accessible worldwide

Configuration
With the configuration, the components of the drive system can be assembled from a data base (motor, converter, controller component, option cards, controls, I/O components).

•  Automatic fieldbus configuration
•  Parameterization
•  Commissioning

Programming
AIPEXPRO integrates the worldwide approved programming platform CoDeSys. All programming languages according to IEC 61131-3 are supported and can even be combined within one project. For programming (in favored language) preprogrammed´ function blocks in countless libraries are available.

In the development environment, the visualization and the basic library are contained
as a foundation for the automation solution. In the basic library, extensive basic modules as e.g. mathematic functions and logic modules (timer, counter) are included.

Visualization
The machine visualization can be compiled with the graphic function of the integrated visualization editor, also by pre-assembled visualization modules. The User will be able
to access the web visualization in the AMK drives worldwide.

Libraries
This tool allows use of extensive preprogrammed motion control and technology functions.

Motion control libraries
The basic functions of your machine control are contained in these modules, such as electronic cam control and cam function.
Technology function
You can further simplify your engineering by using the technology functions, for instance form, fill, seal and print mark control, winder and cross cutter functions.

Remote maintenance and diagnostic
You have access to the machine control and the drives from any location. With the update tool in AIPEXPRO you can quickly and easily update the firmware.

Automatic fieldbus configuration.
The revolutionary coupling of component configuration and programming environment has made fieldbus configuration very easy. AIPEXPRO recognizes all data that has to be transferred and automatically generates the configuration of the fieldbus. Data are prepared, depending on their use in the PLC program, either synchronously or asynchronously. Fully automatically and reliably.
The programmer is thus freed from tedious work and can fully concentrate on the important aspects of the machine control.
Drive data as well as I/O data are configured fully automatically.

Simple parameterization of the drives.
The drive system consists of the servo inverters and motors which together have to optimally fulfill the tasks. Wizards aid in the parameterization for standard configurations of the drive. Using the parameter explorer you have access to all parameters in the system. Adjustments and optimizations can also be made during operation. The temporary changes are directly adopted.
AIPEXPRO has access to all devices on the fieldbus network. From one central location all parameters and configuration data can be read as well as written.
Troubleshooting is made easier by the central access with AIPEXPRO. As soon as a message is generated, you receive it in plain text with additional information displayed.
