The MOVIVISION® parameterisable plant software helps system manufacturers and operators to plan, configure, simulate and start up their materials handling systems.
Setting parameters instead of programming with MOVIVISION®
Individualised solutions and high flexibility are playing an increasingly large role in mobile and stationary materials handling technology. With MOVIVISION®, system manufacturers and operators can quickly and easily start up materials handling technology without any special knowledge of programming. MOVIVISION® combines central data management with decentralised intelligence. This simplifies and shortens the complex communication paths between all the hardware and software components.
As a result, continuous monitoring and diagnostics are also possible during production. With this flexible, user-friendly solution, retrofitting or modifying the system and performing detailed error diagnostics are no problem. MOVIVISION® offers the optimal solution for tasks from simple motions to complex coordination with three performance levels: motion, function and coordination.

MOVIVISION® parameter and diagnostics tool
The user can access the central database of the MOVIVISION® server through the parameter and diagnostics tool.
MOVIVISION® server
- All data is stored in one central database
- Establishing a link to the connected decentralised control components
- Data exchange between the server and decentralised control components via fieldbuses and/or networks
- Parameters are only set or changed here
- Management and supervision of access authorisations
- Activation of automatic parameter download during unit replacement
- High degree of data security and user-friendliness
- Fault analysis option with logging
- Catalog functions
MOVIVISION® client
- Visual display of the decentralised control components’ data on the user interface
- The parameter and diagnostics data for each unit is displayed separately. Both nodes are divided into:
- Drive level
- Positioning level
- Technological level
- Option of assigning different access authorisations to users: For monitoring or parameterising, initial startup, unit replacement, etc.
