01 / SYSTEM ROLE
What the Motion Control System Does
The Inexbot Motion Control System provides the motion, logic and communication layer used in selected HH Industrial retrofit cabinet configurations. It coordinates robot motion and servo control while connecting machine logic, I/O, industrial networks and application-level functions.
MACHINE
Logic & I/O
Handle machine logic, I/O and interaction with safety circuits and external equipment according to the cabinet design.
INTEGRATION
Communication
Connect the robot control layer with PLC, HMI, fieldbus devices and application interfaces.
02 / CONTROL ARCHITECTURE
Engineering layers inside the robot control architecture.
Robot motion control coordinates multiple robot axes through servo control, feedback processing and trajectory execution. The configured system also provides the logic and communication required to connect those axes to the machine around them.
LAYER 01
Motion & Servo Control
Robot-axis motion, trajectory functions, servo coordination and feedback processing.
LAYER 02
Machine Logic & I/O
I/O handling, machine logic and interaction with safety and external equipment.
LAYER 03
Application & Communication Layer
Industrial communication, HMI, PLC and application-level interfaces.
03 / MOTION & DRIVE
Motion & Servo Control
The control platform is configured for the robot's axis architecture, motors and feedback system. Multi-axis coordination and supported motion functions are selected according to the robot and application.
Axis coordinationCoordinate robot axes and supported auxiliary axes within the selected servo architecture.
