SIMATIC Drive Controller
Equipment Manual, 11/2022, A5E46600370-AC
Description
Speed-controlled axis for controlling a drive with speed specifica­
tion
Positioning axis for position-controlled positioning of a drive
Synchronous axis for interconnecting with a leading value. The
axis follows the position of the leading axis in synchronous opera­
tion.
External encoder for detecting the actual position of an encoder
and its use as a leading value for synchronous operation
Cam, cam track for position-dependent generation of switching
signals
Measuring input for fast, accurate and event-dependent sensing
of actual positions
Extended synchronous operation functions
– Synchronization with specification of the synchronous posi­
tion
– Actual value coupling
– Offset of leading value on following axis
– Camming
– Velocity gearing
Up to four encoders or measuring systems as actual position for
position control
Control of kinematics, such as
– Cartesian portals
– Roller pickers
– Delta pickers
– SCARA
Cross-PLC synchronous operation: Coupling between leading axis
or external encoder and following axis via PROFINET IO with IRT
PID Compact (continuous PID controller)
PID 3Step (step controller for integrating actuators)
PID Temp (temperature controller for heating and cooling with
two separate actuators)
