Integrated technological functions
All CPUs of SIMATIC S7-1500
support motion control functions. STEP 7 offers Motion
Control instructions standardized according to PLCopen for configuring and connecting a
drive to the CPU.
S7-1500 Motion Control supports the following technology objects:
● Speed-controlled axis
● Positioning axis
● Synchronous axis
● External encoders
● Output cam
● Cam track
● Measuring input
The technology CPUs of the SIMATIC S7-1500
offer enhanced Motion Control functions:
● Advanced synchronization functions
– Synchronization with specification of synchronous position
– Actual value coupling
– Shifting the master value of the following axis
– Camming
● Cam
● Up to 4 encoders or measuring systems as actual position for position control
Due to the supported technology functions, the S7-1500T CPUs are suitable for controlling
packaging machines, converting applications, assembly automation, etc.
