Solutions for technological requirements
SIMATIC Technology

SIMATIC is the standard automation system for controlling many different machines and plants. The SIMATIC Controllers are supplemented by a comprehensive product range for solving technological tasks such as counting, measuring, positioning, closed-loop control and cam control. Different designs enable the implementation of flexible machine concepts.
 
Technology-related overview of solutions

Counting/measuring
One-time, periodic or continuous counting of pulses; counting, measuring of path lengths, speeds, frequencies or period durations, and position detection with incremental encoders or SSI encoders.

Closed-loop control
Control of temperature/pressure/flow rate, and step/pulse and continuous-action controllers, fixed-setpoint, follow-up, cascade, ratio and mixed control.
