4.3 Application
This technology object can be used, for example, for the following applications:

Detection of a running material line as master axis (conductance) of a
processing module in a processing line for a modular machine configuration.

Motion detection of non-electric axes or axes that are not controlled by the
SIMATIC controller. For example, the detection of a hydraulic axis that is used
as conductance for a synchronous relationship in the SIMATIC S7-1500T
controller.
