> System overview and operating principle

MOVIVISION^® is a new, intuitive software solution that allows system manufacturers and operators to start up drive systems quickly and easily without special programming skills. Even during the production process, the operator can always respond to manufacturing modifications without tying up human resources to a disproportionately high extent.

MOVIVISION^® performs the following tasks:

Designing and project planning of the system

Administration and management of the system data

Parameter setting and startup of the system

Simplification of system maintenance

Plant diagnostics

System operation and monitoring

The combination of central data storage and decentralized intelligence makes MOVIVISION^® the comfortable software solution in materials handling technology. The decentralized intelligence simplifies and shortens the complex communication paths between all hardware and software components of the system. Fastest possible bus cycle and response times on every level ensure a permanent flow of information and commands. This also allows for an object-oriented display. Each individual user can display the entire production system, the drive systems or individual drives. User-friendliness is ensured by the easy-to-use MOVIVISION^® interface. The user can perform tasks, e.g. startup or production changes during operation, quickly and easily, at any time and from any location, simply by setting parameters. Special programming skills are not necessary.

MOVIVISION^® configuration and diagnostics tool: The user can access the central database of the MOVIVISION^® server through the Windows-based configuration and diagnostics tool.
MOVIVISION^® server	MOVIVISION^® client
All data is stored in one central database Establishes a link to the connected decentralized control components The data exchange between server and decentralized control components takes place via fieldbus and/or networks Only here, parameters are set or changed Management and supervision of access authorizations High degree of data security and user-friendliness	The interface displays the data of the decentralized control components visually. Parameter and diagnostic data of each unit is displayed separately. Both nodes are divided into Drive level Positioning level Technological level Users can be granted various access rights, e.g. for: Observation Parameter setting Initial startup Replacing units, etc.

With the “motion”, “function” and “coordination” performance levels, MOVIVISION^® solves any drive task in materials handling.
