Integrated Counting and Measuring functions
CPU 312C:
2 channels for counter function and measuring frequency with 1 24-volt max. incremental encoder, max.10 kHz
CPU 313C:
3 channels for counter function and measuring frequency with three 24-volt incremental encoders, max. 30 kHz
CPU 314C:
4 channels for counter function and measuring frequency with one 24-volt incremental encoder, max. 60 kHz

Integrated Positioning functions
CPU 314C:
Positioning algorithm for controlled positioning in accordance with the rapid traverse/creep speed principle using one 24-volt Incremental encoder

Integrated controller blocks
CPU 313C/ CPU 314C:
Contain continuous-action controller, step-action controllers and pulse shaper as system function blocks

PID Control
PID Control provides a simple PID algorithm that can be used to directly resolve simple closed-loop control tasks. PID Control can be used to implement continuous closed-loop controllers, step controllers or pulse controller/pulse shapers.

PID Temperature Control 
In addition to the universal PID Control function blocks, STEP 7 offers two control blocks for the closed-loop control of simple temperature loops (e.g. heater or cooler controls).
