Application Specific Function Blocks

ORMEC Application Specific Function Blocks (ASFB) are software tools that provide the core functionality for common applications.  Simply program the ServoWire Motion & Logic Controller (SMLC) with the features that make your machine unique, then drop in the ASFB to add the application functions you need.

G-Code to Motion - The G-Code function block provides a simple way to incorporate path following in your application.  OrmAppGcode is compliant with the ISO-6983-1 “Data format for positioning, line motion and contouring control Systems” standard, commonly known as G-code programming. 

Process Recipe Data Manager - The Recipe Manager function block simplifies the programming required to store, retrieve and edit parameters on the flash hard drive within the SMLC.  It allows you to view lists of available “recipes” on your HMI along with information such as the date the recipe was created and the date it was last modified.  The number and types of parameters that make up a recipe is completely flexible allowing you to set it up for your specific needs.  The function block allows your program to restrict the ability to create, modify or delete recipes.

Reciprocating Flying Sheer Control - This function block makes it easy to implement a full-featured Reciprocating Flying Shear application with a minimum of programming.  Reciprocating Flying Shears are used to cut, emboss, print or apply other processes to a moving web.

Rotary Knife/Die Control - This function block makes it easy to implement a full-featured Rotary Knife application with a minimum of programming.  Rotary Knives are used to cut, emboss, print or apply other processes to a moving web.
