PROFIenergy PROFIenergy is a PROFINET-based data interface for
switching off consumers centrally and with full coordi-
nation during pause times regardless of the manufac-
turer or device type. Through this, the process should
only be provided with the energy that is absolutely
required. The majority of the energy is saved by the
process; the PROFINET device itself only contributes a
few watts of savings potential.
Motion Control S7-1500 CPUs support the controlled positioning and
traveling of axes via S7-1500 Motion Control functions
by means of the following technology objects:
Speed-controlled axes, positioning axes, synchronized
axes, external encoders, cams, cam tracks and meas-
uring inputs.
• Speed-controlled axis for controlling a drive with
speed specification
• Positioning axis for position-controlled positioning of
a drive
• Synchronous axis to interconnect with a master
value. The axis is synchronized to the master axis
position.
• External encoder for detecting the actual position of
an encoder and its use as a master value for syn-
chronous operation
• Cams, cam track for position-dependent generation
of switching signals
• Measuring input for fast, accurate and event-
dependent sensing of actual positions
• Section Technology functions
