What is soft PLC?
Soft PLC is real-time PLC software: a PC-based programmable logic controller in which a single PC monitors and controls the machine or machine tool based on inputs and outputs. Soft PLC runs on the same PC as the soft motion control, and is tightly integrated with soft motion to provide a single motion/machine control application.TOP Q: How different is soft CNC from conventional PC-based NC? A: In conventional PC-based NC, the PC is used only as the operator’s interface and expensive motion control boards are actually used for motion control processing. With Soft Servo Systems’ soft CNC, the personal computer is used for all real-time motion control operations including feedback loops and multi-axis coordination. It also serves as a user-friendly graphical interface, can be connected to a network, used to store motion programs, and run other applications like database software, spreadsheet programs, vision systems or statistical process control applications.
