Information For Users Changing From Simotion D4X5-2 - Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 System Manual

Information for users changing from SIMOTION
D4x5-2
SIMATIC S7-1500 and the SIMOTION Motion Control system are two automation systems
whose architecture and therefore programming are fundamentally different. Be aware of
these differences when switching between the two automation systems.
Comparison
The comparison below is based largely on the hardware differences between a SIMATIC Drive
Controller and a SIMOTION D4x5-2 control unit.
