Integrated software control
Using advanced software control algorithms, a single software suite can simultaneously perform efficient and high-performance collaborative control of multiple automated devices, machine tools, industrial robots, and PLC logic.
Introduction
With the rapid development of the intelligent automation control, 3C electronics, and industrial robot markets, the demand for intelligent, networked, and integrated control systems is increasing. Closed, functionally limited, and decentralized hardware controllers are increasingly unable to meet market demands.
Based on more than 20 years of development and application experience, SoftServo has launched integrated software control technology and products, combining current market demands and the characteristics of software motion control.

● Software control system replaces dedicated hardware control: seamlessly integrates with the upper-level ERP and production management systems.
● Networked integrated control replaces distributed control: All monitoring and control are under control, and efficient configuration can be flexibly applied to faults and efficiency.
● Open software is far superior to closed hardware: rapid upgrades can meet customized needs.
● High-end software algorithms are on par with world-class standards: R&D teams from the United States, China, Japan, and South Korea have made software motion control increasingly popular with major clients.
By using advanced software control algorithms and leveraging the powerful computing capabilities of the ever-evolving Intel multi-core CPUs, a single software program can efficiently and effectively coordinate the control of multiple automated devices, machine tools, industrial robots, and PLC logic by rationally allocating the computing power of different CPU cores.
Through integrated software control, users can utilize over 500 functions (developed using high-level languages such as C++/C#) to control up to 256 independent channels of complex automated control equipment and units. They can also use robot languages or robot APIs to perform trajectory control on robots within automated units. Simultaneously, based on the IEC61131-3 PLC compiler, users familiar with PLCs can easily implement the logic processing of existing hardware PLCs using software PLCs. Integrated software control not only minimizes the use and waste of hardware controllers but also significantly improves control efficiency. Data is exchanged directly between machines, robots, and PLCs in the shared memory of the software, eliminating the cumbersome wiring and instability issues associated with hardware controllers. Developers of machine equipment control systems can leverage the flexibility of high-level language programming as well as internationally standardized software PLC programming to create the most cost-effective and efficient control systems.
Integrated software control can help many developers create their own motion control platform software. By flexibly applying API functions, robot languages, and IEC61131-3 PLCs, it can encapsulate and develop its processes and machine sequences on a unified platform, which greatly facilitates future machine upgrades, maintenance, and small-scale flexible customization.
