EPOS Control

4.5.1

Functionality

The EPOS block interfaces to the SINAMICS Basic Positioner via EtherNet/IP. The
EPOS Positioner is used for absolute and relative positioning of linear and rotary
axes. The CU250D-2 and CU250S-2 G120 controllers are capable of EPOS
control.
The AOI provides a direct interface to EPOS control. Note that the drive must be
referenced before absolute positioning is allowed. State control and sequencing is
not provided. Additional user logic is required to synchronize the state of the drive
with the positioning functions.
