Description

Demanding mechatronic tasks can be solved using the user configurable application modules that combine a high degreeof flexibility, functionality and performance:

A subset of the S7-300 instruction set is available for programming, e.g. binary logic operations, arithmetic operations, comparisons, counter/timer functions, shift registers, frequency and period measurement (e.g. pulse generators). Programs are created using the standard LAD/FBD editor of STEP 7. The created program can be tested in an S7 CPU before downloading into the module.

The FM 458-1 DP application modules, T400 and the SIMATIC TDC control system are freely configurable with STEP 7 and the engineering tools CFC and SFC. Configuring requires the function block library of the D7-SYS add-on package.

Design and function

High-Speed Boolean Processor FM 352-5
Ultra-high-speed binary logic operations and the fastest possible path-dependent switching operations combined with exceptionally little jitter - Those are the strengths of the SIMATIC FM 352-5 application module. With a cycle time of only 1 µs, it is clearly superior to any conventional PLC CPU.

High-End Application Module FM 458-1 DP
for S7- 400Within the SIMATIC S7-400, the enhanced application module FM 458-1 DP is setting new standards. This intelligent module combines powerful arithmetic operations ability, high processing speed, precision and flexibility. These are the features required to solve a wide range of processing tasks universally even with extremely high throughput rates.For you this means: even more flexibility and economic viability in implementing sophisticated PLC, motion control and processing tasks.

Technology module T400
The graphically configurable T400 technology module allows drives to be expanded cost-effectively with sophisticated closed-loop control, open-loop control and positioning functions. The powerful 32-bit RISC processor supports constant bus cycle times of more than 100 µs to enhance the precision of the movements or to speed up the machine cycle.

Multi processor control system SIMATIC TDC
SIMATIC TDC is a multi-processor automation system that is particularly used in large plants for process, energy and drive engineering. SIMATIC TDC also solves complex drive, control and technology tasks with maximum quantity frameworks and minimum cycle times on a single platform, and is therefore an ideal supplement to SIMATIC S7 in the top performance range
