What are the advantages of soft motion over conventional PC-based controls?
Soft Servo Systems’ technology is less expensive because it eliminates costly plug-in motion control boards and reduces complex wiring and hardware requirements, such as high-priced encoder-specific or servo-specific interface modules, analog and encoder cables from the PC, etc. With Soft Servo Systems’ open architecture, products can be easily customized or extended (developing specialty G codes, for instance), and integrated with other Windows-based software. System setup and integration is simplified, and Soft Servo Systems’ products are scalable and flexible.TOP Q: How is real-time performance guaranteed when Windows operating sytems do not provide real-time processing? A: Soft Servo Systems’ products use an industry-proven real-time extension to Windows operating systems to create a real-time subspace (RTSS). In the RTSS, the Motion Engine and the PLC Engine are given first priority by the CPU. This means Soft Servo Systems’ software monopolizes the CPU and runs in the RTSS. Any r
