Description of Functions

FM 353 Stepper Drive Positioning Module
6ES7 353-1AH01-8BG0
In all operating modes except Control mode, the “servo ready” signal is required for
the duration of every traversing movement when the parameter is active (MD37.2).
If the servo ready is not detected or is deactivated during the movement, the
“servo not ready” message is triggered (see Table 11-5, Class 3/No. 62).
Optional signal “Boost” / “PWM”
The interface signal “Boost” or “PWM” (pulse width modulation) permits optimized
operation of the stepper drive using phase current control. The FM 353 implements
these two functions via an output. This is done by alternate machine data selec-
tion.
The active level of the signal can be parameterized.
Signal response:
Movement status Output signal
“Boost”
Output signal “PWM”
Idle inactive pulse duty factor per
MD 51
Acceleration/delay active static active
Constant travel inactive pulse duty factor per
MD 50
The following table shows you the available machine data for parameterizing the

Function, PWM:
The signal is generated as a 20 kHz frequency.
Boost function:
The signal is monitored with reference to the maximum absolute and relative active
phase.
