● Supported technology:
– Counting, measuring, position detection and pulse generators
The technology functions high-speed counting, measuring, position detection and
pulse generators (PWM/frequency output/PTO) are integrated in the compact CPU.
For more information on integrated technology functions, refer to the section
Technology functions.
– Motion Control
Through technology objects, the Motion Control functionality supports speed-
controlled axes, positioning axes, synchronous axes and external encoders, cams,
cam tracks and probes as well as PLC open blocks for programming the motion
control functionality.
For more information about Motion Control, refer to the section Technology functions.
For a detailed description of the use of motion control and its configuration, refer to the
S7-1500 Motion Control
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/109739589
) function manual.
You can also use the
TIA Selection Tool
or the
SIZER
to create or configure axes.
– Integrated closed-loop control functionality
- PID Compact (continuous PID controller)
- PID 3Step (step controller for integrating actuators)
- PID Temp (temperature controller for heating and cooling with two separate
actuators)
● Trace functionality:
– The trace functionality supports troubleshooting and optimization of the user program,
especially for motion control and closed-loop control applications.
For more information on "Trace", refer to the Using the trace and logic analyzer
functions (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/64897128
) function
manual.
● Integrated system diagnostics:
– The system automatically generates the messages for the system diagnostics and
outputs these messages via a PG/PC, HMI device, the Web server or the integrated
display. System diagnostics is also available when the CPU is in STOP mode.
