Enabling Modular Design with Servo and Automation Technologies

Control engineers and machine designers are traditionally tasked with optimizing their own designs — through servo sizing, electrical outlining, and component selection and programming. Optimization tools are widely available for all of these ventures. However, if modularity is a prime design objective, a different viewpoint is helpful. This webinar will discuss recent developments in automation and servo technology that make modular machine design easier.We will cover the following aspects of modular machine design:

• Machine control architecture options
• Useful tools in the IEC61131-3 programming standard
• Meeting more user specifications
• Reducing inventoried products
