Technosoft motion libraries for PLCs are based on IEC 61131-2 standard for motion control. The standard compliance involves some functionality that has been added to the Technosoft drives/motors only in firmware revision i. As the new features of firmware revision i are accessible only from EasySetUp and EasyMotion Studio, you need to use one of them. Use EasySetUp if you intend to control the whole motion directly from your PLC. Use EasyMotion Studio you intend to distribute the tasks between your PLC and the drive/motor. In this case you need EasyMotion Studio to program in the drive TML functions or homing routines to be called from your PLC.
