9.3 Motion control
S7-1200 Programmable controller
450 System Manual, 03/2014, A5E02486680-AG
Table 9- 26 STEP 7 tools for motion control
Configuration Configures the following properties of the "Axis" technology object:
• Selection of the PTO to be used and configuration of the drive interface
• Properties of the mechanics and the transmission ratio of the drive (or machine or system)
• Properties for position limits, dynamics, and homing
Save the configuration in the data block of the technology object.
Commissioning Tests the function of your axis without having to create a user program. When the tool is started,
the control panel will be displayed. The following commands are available on the control panel:
• Enable and disable axis
• Move axis in jog mode
• Position axis in absolute and relative terms
• Home axis
• Acknowledge errors
The velocity and the acceleration / deceleration can be specified for the motion commands. The
control panel also shows the current axis status.
Monitors of the current status and error information for the axis and drive.
After you create the technology object for the axis,
you configure the axis by defining the basic
parameters, such as the PTO and the configuration
of the drive interface. Y
ou also configure the other
properties of the axis, such as position limits,
dynamics, and homing.
Note
You may have to adapt
the values of the input parameters of motion control instructions to
the new dimension unit in the user program.
