SIMOTION SCOUT engineering system
Introduction
While the Motion Control system SIMOTION provides a wide variety of preprogrammed
functions, it is also parameterizable and programmable for individual requirements. High-
performance tools, which provide optimum support and ease of use for the necessary
engineering steps, are required for this.
The SIMOTION SCOUT Engineering System is the environment for the uniform automation
of production machines with SIMOTION and integrates into the SIMATIC environment in
accordance with TIA (Totally Integrated Automation).
SIMOTION SCOUT provides a uniform, function-oriented view for your automation task, and
at the same time it is very easy to use.
The possible SIMOTION applications range from simple, parameterizable, speed-controlled
single axes through to complex, mechatronically-coupled and programmable multi-axis
machines. Therefore, SIMOTION SCOUT provides views adapted to the task and can be
expanded with additional tools (e.g. tool for the graphic creation of cams).
SIMOTION SCOUT is the engineering system for SIMOTION. It is integrated into STEP 7 and
provides all the required tools for the following functionalities:
● Configuration
● Parameter assignment
● Programming
● Test
● Diagnostics
