SIMOTION P320-4 is suitable for applications for which

• the available mounting space is minimal
• rugged hardware is extremely important, without rotating parts such as fan or hard disk
• no display is needed in normal operation (headless mode). Connections are available for operation of a monitor or display. SIMOTION P320-4 features a DVI-I and a DisplayPort (DP) interface.
• A Windows operating system is required for the relevant applications.

SIMOTION P320-4 is suitable for high-performance applications for which

• complex data management and data evaluation are a prerequisite
• Motion Control, open-loop control and visualization functions need to be implemented on one platform to save space
• highly dynamic position and pressure control loops are needed, as in the case of hydraulic applications
• the openness provided by the Windows operating system can be optimally utilized (software, drivers, etc.)

Important applications include:

• Packaging machines
• Plastic and rubber processing machines
• Presses, wire-drawing machines
• Textile machines
• Printing machines
• Wood, glass, ceramics and stone working machines
• Production lines in the renewable energy sector, e.g. solar technology,
• wind energy plants

Due to the increasing use of servo drives, these machines require a high degree of integration of PLC, Motion Control and technology functions.
