SCADA/HMI software development tool COMBIVIS studio 6

Overview
COMBIVIS studio 6 is an integrated engineering environment from KEB for automation projects. It unites IEC 61131-3 application development, motion control, drive parametrisation, fieldbus configuration and HMI visualisation to support planning, implementation and start-up of multi-axis and motion-centric systems.

Highlights

• IEC 61131-3 application development and motion toolboxes
• Device and library database with document access
• Start-up and diagnosis assistants, digital oscilloscope
• Integrated COMBIVIS studio HMI for parallel HMI/control development
• Runtime variants and expansion packages

Program specification
COMBIVIS studio 6 combines IEC 61131-3 programming with drive parameter management and SmartCoding tools for declarations, error diagnosis, debugging and online data analysis. Libraries and templates accelerate solution generation for synchronized, real-time motion tasks. Editors and assistants support profile creation, cam discs, electronic gears, angle synchronisation and G-code integration.

IEC 61131-3 editors
Standard editors and representations are provided for IEC 61131-3:

• Ladder Diagram (LD)
• Function Block Diagram (FBD)
• Instruction List (IL)
• Continuous Function Chart (CFC)
• Sequential Function Chart (SFC)
• Structured Text (ST)

Debugging and monitoring

• Read/write/assign values online
• Programmable breakpoints and sequence control
• Project comparison, call stack and cross-reference
• Event logger and user-defined watch windows
• Binary/decimal/hex views and multichannel trends with trigger

COMBIVIS studio HMI: integrated visualisation
Integrated HMI connection enables automated driver and variable exchange, parallel development of HMI and control projects, multi-source HMI support and extended archiving.

Document database
An integrated document database keeps manuals, drawings and datasheets updated and provides direct search and access to parameter documents and technical resources.

Start-up, diagnosis and drive optimisation

• Start-up assistants for motors, encoders and servo applications
• Encoderless regulated operation and drive/safety integration
• Fieldbus analysis and cogging compensation
• Data backup, recovery and expert fine-tuning tools

KEB Channelhandler – multi-fieldbus gateway
The channel handler provides access to KEB devices across multiple fieldbuses (EtherCAT, CANopen, HSP5, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, PROFIBUS, INTERBUS, POWERLINK, RS232/RS485 etc.) including access in synchronous operation.

Expansion packages (selected)
Extension packages integrate into the environment, for example:

• Servo pump wizard: assistant-guided start-up and auto-tuning for servo pump applications
• T6 APD start-up wizard: menu-guided start-up for modular drive controllers

COMBIVIS Control Runtime (variants)
Runtime options match application needs:

• BASIC: IEC 61131-3 and KEB basic libraries
• PRO: professional motion functions (cam discs, electronic gears, angle synchronisation)
• ADVANCED: CNC features, G-Code processing and prepared kinematics
