Benefits
The integrated controller PID Control of the SIMATIC S7-1500 CPUs offer you the following
advantages:
• High-quality end product due to optimum control performance
• High flexibility in the drying oven (see example)
• Time savings thanks to automatic control parameter optimization for optimum control
performance and simple commissioning
More information
A detailed description of PID Control in SIMATIC S7-1500 can be found in the Function
Manual "SIMATIC S7-1200, S7-1500 PID Control" SIMATIC S7-1200, S7-1500 PID control

4.8.3 Technology functions of the compact CPUs
Technology functions are integrated into the SIMATIC S7-1500 compact CPUs.
For pulse and incremental encoders
Period duration measurement
Dependent on measurement interval and signal evaluation
Unit can be defined by user
Pulse width modulation (PWM
output)
Output of a signal with defined period duration and variable
on-load factor at DQ
Pulse Train Output (PTO output)
Output of position information, e. g. for activation of stepper
motor drives or simulation of an incremental encoder
Precise assignment of a frequency value with high frequencies
Benefits
Compared with the other SIMATIC S7-1500 CPUs, the compact CPUs offer added value in a
small space:
• The CPU with display and inputs/outputs in one enclosure
• Compact size with high performance
• Important technology functions such as counting, measuring and positioning are
integrated
• Cost effective compared to modular systems with CPU and modules
• Space saving design
• Can be expanded by SIMATIC S7-1500 input and output modules
