SIEMENS has announced the updating of its Simotion Motion Control System to version 4.4.

This new version offers many new functions that make the engineering of Motion Control projects even easier and more efficient. This particularly applies to the comprehensive support provided for Simotion in the TIA Portal.

“As of now, Simotion applications for the entire drive train can be efficiently and conveniently engineered, configured and commissioned through the engineering framework. The link between the new Simatic HMI (human machine interface) panels and Simotion has also been implemented. With the new version of Simotion and the integration of the easyProject project generator in Simotion Scout, users can configure even complex production machines in an easy to handle and standardised manner,” a company statement said.

Within the TIA Portal, a wide range of motion control functionalities from Simotion can be used intuitively and quickly through the innovative user interface of the Engineering Framework. Users benefit from fully graphic configuration of hardware and networks, with the Simotion visually imaged in the TIA Portal together with all its interfaces and properties.
