New functions Applications Customer benefits
Allow data access only via
Web API
They limit the functionality of the Web server to
the Web API based functions. This means that
only encrypted communication via HTTPS is
possible.
Higher security of communication via Web
server
Technology functions of the CPU
Save absolute encoder adjustment for device
replacement
Saving the adjustment values with the
"MC_SaveAbsoluteEncoderData" instruction
saves having to perform the absolute
encoder adjustment again after a device
replacement.
The "MC_Home" instruction supports the new
"Incremental encoder adjustment" homing
mode.
Extended scope of functions
Active homing of absolute encoders is possible. Extended scope of functions
Absolute encoder adjustment/incremental
encoder adjustment of non-operational
encoders
The function makes it possible to transfer
encoder actual values of the operative
encoder to a non-operative encoder.
The "MC_Power" instruction supports coasting
down.
Extended scope of functions of the
"MC_Power" instruction
The hardware limit switches are configurable as
traversable/non-traversable.
Extended scope of functions
For axes in a synchronous system, the dynamic
filter enables dynamic adaptation of axes with
higher dynamic responses to the axis with the
lowest dynamic response.
With the dynamic filter, axes with different
inertia can be adjusted to each other. Optim
ization of a synchronous system
Stop superimposed movements on the axis
with the instruction "MC_HaltSuperimposed"
Use the instruction to stop a superimposed
motion independently of the basic motion.
Axis functions
With the "MC_MotionInSuperimposed" instruc
tion, you can assign the axis cyclic applicative
motion setpoints for additional distance, velo
city and acceleration in addition to the basic
motion.
With the specification of superimposed
motion set values, you can optimize the
motion profile of a basic motion.
Velocity gearing By using a variable gear ratio, synchronous
axes of the velocity can follow a positioning
axis.
Synchronous operation func
tions
Synchronization in advance using master value
distance starting from current leading value
position in the camming
Extended scope of functions
The S7-1500 CPU supports up to 64 configured
signals per trace.
Number of configurable signals per trace
increased
Trace functionality of the CPU
Long-term trace: The S7-1500 CPU supports
cycle-granular recording of up to 64 different
tags in a .csv file over a prolonged period (for
example, hours, days, etc.).
This results in significantly better diagnostic
possibilities when analyzing the course of
signals over a long period of time
