2 Application and usage
2.1 Compact and integrated
The Technology CPU integrates Motion Control functions into a SIMATIC CPU,
and thus combines the functionality of a SIMATIC S7-300 CPU with
PLCopen-compliant Motion Control functions.
The Technology CPU is totally integrated into the SIMATIC system, and thus into
the TIA environment. It demonstrates its high performance in particular in the field
of coupled motion operations.
2.2 The familiar "SIMATIC world"
The Technology CPU is a standard SIMATIC CPU, with integrated Motion Control
functionality. S7-300 programs of existing projects can thus be copied to this CPU.
The Technology CPU is programmed in the SIMATIC programming languages, for
example, LAD/FBD/STL.
All PLC and Motion Control functions are executed in a single user program. Three
is no need to learn any additional programming language, because users can rely
on their current S7 know-how.
The technology system is configured in the user-friendly environment of STEP 7
with the help of S7T Config. There you set up all your system essentials, such as
the mechanical data, drives, control circuits, default values, monitoring functions,
cams, measuring sensors, cam disks, and lots more.
