Description
automation concepts. You can, for example, combine I/O
modules that are physically close to each other in one IO
device.
PROFIenergy is a PROFINET-based data interface for
switching off consumers centrally and with full coordina­
tion during pause times regardless of the manufacturer
or device type. The goal is that the process is only
provided with the energy that is absolutely required. The
majority of the energy is saved by the process; the
PROFINET device itself only contributes a few watts of
savings potential.
The CPUs support the S7-1500 Motion Control functions
via the technology objects speed axes, positioning axes,
synchronized axes, external encoders, cams, cam tracks
and measuring probes.
• Speed-controlled axis for controlling a drive with
speed specification
• Positioning axis for position-controlled positioning of
a drive
• Synchronous axis to interconnect with a master
value. The axis is synchronized to the master axis pos­
ition.
• External encoder for detecting the actual position of
an encoder and its use as a master value for syn­
chronous operation
• Cams, cam track for position-dependent generation
of switching signals
• Measuring input for fast, accurate and event-depend­
ent sensing of actual positions
You program the technology objects with Motion Control
instructions according to PLCopen.
The technology CPUs of the SIMATIC S7-1500 also sup­
port extended Motion Control functions with the addi­
tional technology objects cam, leading axis proxy and
kinematics:
• Advanced synchronization functions
– Synchronization with specification of the syn­
chronous position
– Actual value coupling
– Leading value or following value shift in gearing
or camming
– Camming
– Synchronization to specified positions
– Cross-PLC synchronous operation
– Velocity gearing
• Up to 4 encoders or measuring systems as actual pos­
ition for position control
• Controlling of kinematics, such as
– Cartesian portals
– Roller pickers
– Delta pickers
– SCARA
