| The modularization of machinery is state
of the art nowadays, and is based on the decentralization
of the system’s intelligence. A modular machine architecture
provides flexible expansion capability and increases the availability
of the system. Baumüller provides forward-looking solutions
for modular and decentralized concepts. As a system partner,
Baumüller can solve any automation problem using central
and decentralized control architecture. The IEC 61131 programming
standard is an important prerequisite for modular automation
concepts.
Modular design is being used in an ever-increasing number
of machines and systems, and is based on an automation concept
with decentralized control and drive technology. The modularization
of machinery with manufacturing processes that operate with
continuous rapid cycles (such as the processing of paper,
film or textile webs) represents a particular challenge to
the real-time capability of drive, control and field bus technology.
Baumüller provides automation solutions with central
or decentralized control architecture and solutionsfor dynamic
processes that require proper real-time processing.

A decisive criterion for a user’s investment in a machine
is its long-term capability. A machine has long-term capability
if it can be flexibly expanded, the availability of the machine
can be increased by integrating technology, additional peripherals
can be added in order to expand the system and many different
component types can be used. The modularization of machines
and systems is a method that also reduces commissioning and
maintenance times.
Designing systems in a modular way allows machine manufacturers
to flexibly react to customer requirements and configure and
build applications accordingly. The user therefore receives
a machine that is optimally tailored to his current requirements
and also allows the user to react quickly to market requirements.
Another advantage of the modular concept is the extremely
good availability of the system. Even if an individual machine
module has to be taken out of the process for maintenance
purposes, the overall machine remains productive. Jobs for
which the affected module is not needed can therefore still
be dealt with. The cost of maintenance is cut down to a minimum.

Full range of control solutions
An engineering tool that guarantees continuous software compatibility
is available for programming the three control concepts with
PROPROGwt II in accordance with the IEC 61131 standard, whereby
it does not matter which hardware the application was originally
developed for.
Another PLC is assigned as the hardware at the click of
a mouse button.The reusability and hardware independence of
the software models significantly reduces the cost of engineering.

Baumüller is a full-range provider
in the automation of decentralized, centralized and
hybrid control architectures, whatever the application.
From the Motion Control concept with the b maXX-drivePLC
drive PLC for decentralized solutions and the b maXX-softPLC
for central control architectures to the b maXX-controllerPLC,
Baumüller provides suitable concepts for the control
architectures of modern and future-oriented machinery.

Continuous programming with PROPROGwt
II in accordance with the IEC 61131 standard provides
full software compatibility over all control concepts.
The programming is independent of the architecture and
concept of the machine or system.
Drive concepts with decentralized intelligence are
particularly suitable for the graphics industry, the
packaging industry, in robotics and in handling systems.
Baumüller’s drive PLC is at the heart of
this control architecture: the b maXX-drivePLC
