1.6 Versions of SIMOTION C
There are three different versions of the SIMOTION C: The previous C230-2, a more
powerful C240 and a C240 PN with PROFINET interface. The C240 and C240 PN also have
functional improvements, as compared to the C230-2.
Compared to the C230-2, the C240 and C240 PN have:
● A larger working memory
● A larger memory for retain data
● Higher performance
Instead of the onboard drive and measuring system interfaces, the C240 PN has a
PROFINET interface with three ports (X11 P1, X11 P2, X11 P3).
The following table lists the differences between the individual motion controllers:
