Technology functions and technology DBs form the user interface to the integrated
technology. Their tasks are shown in the figure below:
Technology functions
The Technology CPU uses the technology functions to initiate all motion control
commands. The integrated technology executes all commands in the order by
which they are initiated by the PLC.
Motion Control commands address the technology objects you configured in
S7T Config. Technology objects are addressed using the number of the
corresponding technology DB.
The commands are initiated by a signal transition (positive edge) at the Execute or
Enable input parameters. The output parameters of the technology functions
provide ready and abort messages of the command, or error messages if a
command could not be initiated.
