Solutions with integrated functions
Integrated technology functions are ideal for applications in compact machines
with a small number of axes, counter channels and control channels.
The technology functions are an integral component of the operating system of
the CPU or of STEP 7 and utilize the inputs/outputs that are directly integrated
on the CPU or standard I/O.
Parameterization of the integrated functions, e.g. a control or positioning
algorithm, is performed easily and conveniently using the screens embedded in
STEP 7.
