Understanding the configuration/profile table for the Axis of Motion
Overview
The Motion wizard has been developed to make motion applications easy by automatically
generating the configuration and profile information based upon the answers you give about
your motion control system. Configuration/profile table information is provided for advanced
users who want to create their own motion control routines.
The configuration/profile table is located in the V memory area of the S7-200 SMART CPU.
As shown in the table below, the configuration settings are stored in the following types of
information:
●
Configuration block:
Contains information used to setup the Axis of Motion in preparation
for executing position commands
●
Interactive block:
Supports direct setup of position parameters by the user program
●
Profile block:
Describes a pre-defined move operation to be performed by the Axis of
Motion. You can configure up to 32 profile blocks.
Note
The profile block of the configuration/profile table can contain up to 32 motion profiles. To
create more than 32 move profiles,
you can exchange configuration/profile tables by
changing the value stored in the configuration/profile table pointer.
