Abstract:
1. A programmable automation system for controlling the movement of at least one movable machine element, the automation system comprising: a memory; a profile, stored in the memory, for movement control that is prescribed as a function of a higher degree, the profile comprising at least one command variable and a secondary variable, the command variable representing a physical variable that is of a different type from the secondary variable and at least one of the variables comprising a time-dependent variable, wherein the profile is created based on the command variable, and wherein the profile is defined without any units, and wherein the profile comprises a combination of a plurality of segments, the plurality of segments of the profile formed from mathematical functions, and wherein at least two individual unconnected segments of polynomial functions associated with the plurality of segments can be connected with a transitional segment and the transitional segment comprises at least a function of a spline interpolation; and a program for activating the profile.
