Components on the Ethernet
Function
... configures, parameterizes, programs, and tests with the
"SIMOTION SCOUT" engineering system (ES)
... communicates with other devices via UDP, TCP/IP
... is used for operating and monitoring functions. This is not an
essential requirement for the operation of a control unit.
Components on the PROFINET IO
Function
... configures, sets parameters, programs, and tests using the
"SIMOTION SCOUT" Engineering System (ES).
... is used for operating and monitoring functions. This is not an
essential requirement for the operation of a control unit.
... e.g. higher-level controller (plant controller); modular machine
concepts with multiple controls, distributed across individual
machine modules
... communicates with other devices via UDP, TCP/IP.
Modular I/O system for control cabinet installation and high
channel densities.
Finely scalable I/O system for control cabinet configuration and
particularly time-critical applications; including motor starters,
safety technology and individual grouping of load groups
Modular I/O system with IP65/67 degree of protection for machine-
related applications with no control cabinet; with features such as
compact designs, integrated PROFIsafe safety technology,
PROFINET IO connection and live module replacement.
Compact block I/O with IP65/66/67 degree of protection for
cabinet-free usage in machines with M12 connection method. Very
rugged and resistant encapsulated metal enclosure.
... convert speed setpoints into signals for controlling the motor
and supply the power required to operate the motors.
