From November 26th to 28th, the 2019 Nuremberg International Automation System and Components Exhibition (SPS) was held at the Nuremberg Exhibition Center in Germany.

The theme of this SPS exhibition is "Smart Production Solutions", focusing on the application of TSN, edge computing, software definition, 5G applications, artificial intelligence and other technologies in the industrial automation industry. The software-defined control of high real-time operating system and high-bandwidth field bus was the theme of the exhibition. The focus is on displaying "software-defined control products, autonomous intelligent industrial operating systems, and high-bandwidth real-time bus." The product development strategy of the broadband bus is a step ahead on the road of intelligent control products / systems and the full integration of IT and OT. It uses hard core technology to meet the wave of transformation and upgrading of the global industrial automation industry.

Software-defined 14-axis real-time coordinated motion control, setting new heights in industrial robot control

At the exhibition site, Kyland Industrial Server NewPre3000 performed a shocking demonstration of software-defined motion control: Kyland Intewell Intelligent Industrial Operating System embedded with an industrial server virtualized a real-time and non-real-time system, and the real-time system cooperated with 14 axes. Synchronous motion control, non-real-time system runs AI machine vision; that is; two 6-axis industrial robots and one 2-axis positioner system perform production tasks under the cooperation of industrial vision. This realizes the integration of motion control, PLC control, industrial machine vision and other functions through the Intewell Intelligent Industrial Operating System on the same hardware platform, and realizes the linkage control of industrial vision recognition in the actual production process.

Video from the scene shows that under the control of the NewPre industrial server, the welding rods of two 6-axis welding robots move at high speed between 16 cans on the 2-axis motion shifter, with a repeat track accuracy of less than 0.05mm, while the high-speed industrial camera shoots and detects the position and motion of the welding rods to ensure that the shifter, The precise high-speed motion coordination control between welding robots reflects the software-defined motion control technology to enhance the real-time, synergy and flexibility of robots in industrial scenes such as production, assembly and sorting of intelligent industrial production lines.

Behind the complex and cool 14-axis coordinated high-speed motion control technology is the edge computing platform based on the three core technologies of Kyland Tech: "Software-defined control server", "Intewell intelligent industrial operating system" and AUTBUS high-bandwidth real-time bus + Fusion application of field bus.
