SIMATIC system properties: Technology
Easy integration of technological functions
Counting and measuring, closed-loop control, positioning and cam control
Whether for counting and measuring, cam control, closed-loop or motion control – in the world of SIMATIC, you can integrate technological tasks seamlessly across systems in the most varied combinations and at all levels of complexity – simply, conveniently, uniformly.
Connection options with SIMATIC Technology Controller
SIMATIC technology gives you the greatest possible freedom and scalability in selecting a software- or hardware-based solution, so you can efficiently implement technological functions at an excellent cost/benefit ratio. Parameterization and programming take place in the familiar STEP 7 environment.
Thanks in particular to the integration of PLCopen-compliant motion control modules in a standard S7-300 CPU, the technology controllers are suitable, for example, for coupled sequences of motions in several axes. Here the isochronous PROFIBUS ensures maximum precision for fast machining operations.
