The Motion Control functionality uses technology objects to support speed-controlled
axes, positioning axes, synchronous axes, external encoders, cams, cam tracks and
measuring inputs, as well as PLCopen blocks for programming the motion control
functionality.
You can find a detailed description of the use of Motion Control and its configuration in
the S7-1500T Motion Control
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109751049) function manuals.
- PID Compact (continuous PID controller)
- PID 3Step (step controller for integrating actuators)
- PID Temp (temperature controller for heating and cooling with two separate
actuators)
You can find additional information on the trace functionality in the Using the Trace
and Logic Analyzer (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/64897128)

displayed on a PG/PC, HMI device, Web server or the integrated display. System
diagnostics information is also available when the CPU is in STOP mode.
The know-how protection protects user blocks against unauthorized access and
modifications.
Copy protection links user blocks to the serial number of the SIMATIC memory card or
to the serial number of the CPU. User programs cannot run without the corresponding
SIMATIC memory card or CPU.
Extended access protection provides high-quality protection against unauthorized
configuration changes. You can use authorization levels to assign separate rights to
different user groups.
The CPUs feature an integrity protection function by default. This helps to detect any
manipulation of the engineering data on the SIMATIC Memory Card or during data
transfer between the TIA Portal and the CPU, and to check communication from a
SIMATIC HMI system to the CPU for possible manipulation of engineering data. The
user receives a corresponding message about manipulation of engineering data
detected by the integrity protection.
