Table 10- 47 STEP 7 tools for closed loop motion control
Configuration Configures the following properties of the "Axis" technology object:
• Selection of the analog drive connection or PROFIdrive to be used and configuration of the
drive and encoder interface
• Properties of the mechanics and the transmission ratio of the drive and encoder (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.
