Technology Functions Of The Cpu - Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 System Manual

System overview
3.3 SIMATIC Drive Controller functions
Project Trace
A project trace contains trace configurations of multiple CPUs. A project trace records the
signals across CPUs if the CPUs are connected to each other via PROFINET.
A global trigger that can be activated by each CPU is used for synchronization. After
receiving the global trigger, the CPUs with a valid project trace configuration start recording.
Additional information
You can find information on how to save trace recordings for the CPU without the TIA Portal
in the section Data transfer with SIMATIC Memory Cards (Page 237).
A detailed description of the "Trace" function is available in the SIMATIC/SINAMICS Using
the Trace and Logic Analyzer Function function manual
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/64897128) and in the SINAMICS S120
with Startdrive commissioning manual
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109763294).

Technology functions of the CPU

The CPU of the SIMATIC Drive Controller has Motion Control technology objects and a
modular S7-1500T CPU.
You can control PROFIdrive-capable drives with Motion Control instructions in accordance
with PLCopen.
Motion Control technology objects
The following table shows the technology objects that support the SIMATIC Drive Controller.
They occupy Motion Control resources or Extended Motion Control resources in the CPU.
