8.9 Restrictions with Motion Control

8.9 Restrictions with Motion Control
8.9.1 MCR and EMCR
There are Motion Control resources (MCR) and Extended Motion Control resources (EMCR)
on each CPU that can be distributed to the technology objects.
Note
PLCSIM Advanced does not support the complete quantity structure of MCR und EMCR.
The simulation of motion control is therefore restricted for the following CPUs:

The ODK functionality of this CPU is not simulated.

Exceeding the quantity structure
STEP 7 checks whether the quantity structure for a configured CPU is complied with, and
alerts you when it is exceeded. When you load a project into a CPU, another message
appears.
Note
A project that uses more MCRs / EMCRs than PLCSIM Advanced supports can be
downloaded to a virtual controller. However, there is no message indicating that the quantity
structure has been exceeded.
Only when the user program accesses the technology objects do you recognize by the error
message at the block and the value 0 of the object that motion control objects cannot be
used due to an overrun of the quantity structure.
