3.2 Application
SIMATIC S7-1500 is the modular control system for a wide variety of automation applications
in discrete automation.
12
Applications
They limit the functionality of the web server to
the web API based functions. This means that
only encrypted communication via HTTPS is
possible.
Save absolute encoder adjustment for device
replacement
The "MC_Home" instruction supports the new
"Incremental encoder adjustment" homing
mode.
Active homing of absolute encoders is possible. Extended scope of functions
The "MC_Power" instruction supports coasting-
down.
The hardware limit switches are configurable as
traversable/non-traversable.
For axes in a synchronous system, the dynamic
filter enables dynamic adaptation of axes with
higher dynamic responses to the axis with the
lowest dynamic response.
Stop superimposed movements on the axis
with the instruction "MC_HaltSuperimposed"
The S7-1500 CPU supports up to 64 configured
signals per trace.
Long-term trace: The S7-1500 CPU supports the
cycle-granular recording of up to 64 different
tags in a .csv file for a long time (hours, days,
etc.)
Customer benefits
Higher security of communication via web
server
Saving the adjustment values with the
"MC_SaveAbsoluteEncoderData" instruc­
tion saves having to perform the absolute
encoder adjustment again after a device
replacement.
Extended scope of functions
Extended scope of functions "MC_Power"
instruction
Extended scope of functions
With the dynamic filter, axes with different
inertia can be adjusted to each other.
Optimization of a synchronous system
Use the instruction to stop a superimposed
motion independently of the basic motion.
Number of configurable signals per trace
Better diagnostic possibilities when analyz­
ing the course of signals over a long period
of time
