Siemens SINAMICS SIMOTICS S200 PROFINET - Mechanical System; Axis Type

• Homing
Homing establishes t
he home position measurement in the converter to the machine.
Possible homing types are:
– Active homing
– Passive homing
– Absolute encoder adjustment
• Traversing blocks
Position, velocity, and acceleration are saved in di󹪜erent traversing blocks in the converter.
The external control selects a traversing block.
• Direct setpoint input (MDI)
The external control speci󹪝es the setpoints (position, velocity, and acceleration) for the axis.
• Jogging
This function is used to incrementally traverse the axis (for example, for setting up).

10.6.1 Mechanical system
10.6.1.1 Axis type
Overview
Axes in your actual application can be con󹪝gured with di󹪜erent motion control applications:
• For speed control applications: 󹪞exible control of the speed and direction of rotation of rotary
axes
• For positioning control applications: relative/absolute positioning of rotary or linear axes
(depending on mechanics)
Description of function
Linear axis
A linear axis is an axis whose traversing range is limited in both motor directions of rotation
by the mechanical system of the machine, for example:
• Stacker crane
• Elevating platform
• Tilting station
• Gate/door drive
