Product Overview

Introduction
The current trend in the field of automation is toward PLC-integrated solutions. This also
applies to technology and motion control applications.
Integrated technology of Technology CPU
With the Technology CPU, technology and motion control functions are integrated in one
SIMATIC CPU.
The Technology CPU incorporates:
• SIMATIC CPU 31x-2 DP
• PLCopen-compliant motion control functions
• Technological configurations (technology objects, axis configurations, tools)
The Technology CPU is completely integrated in the SIMATIC family and thus in the TIA
environment.
Field of application
The Technology CPU is especially suited to solving the following control tasks:
• Control tasks and technology requirements primarily relating to motion control in the
• Motion tasks for up to eight coupled axes or single axes
• Technological tasks, e.g. gearing and camming, position-controlled positioning (operating
The Technology CPU is designed for use with flow machines, processing/assembly lines,
flying shears, labeling equipment, drum feeds or simple gantries (without interpolation).
