■ OverviewThe SIMOTION technology packages expand the basic functionalityof the SIMOTION devices as required.The functionality of the technology packages can be used byadditional language commands.Currently the following SIMOTION technology packages areavailable:• Motion Controlwith the technology functions:- Motion Control Basic- Positioning - POS- Synchronous operation/electronic gear - GEAR- Synchronous operation/electronic cam - CAM- Supplementary technology functions• TControlwith the technology functions:- Temperature control - TControlIn this way the SIMOTION technology packages can be easilyadapted to the corresponding task.The loadable technology packages contain technology objects(e. g. positioning and synchronous axis, cam, external encoders,etc.) which can be accessed over system functions andsystem variables.License modelUse of the technology functions• Motion Control Basic and• supplementary technology functionsare already included in the basic device.Use of the technology functions• Positioning - POS• Synchronous operation/electronic gear - GEAR• Synchronous operation/electronic cam - CAM and• Temperature control - TControlin applications must be licensed for runtime.The right to use these functions is obtained by purchasing thecorresponding technology function license. Please observe thenotes in the selection and ordering data.■ FunctionSIMOTION Motion Control technology packageThe comprehensive Motion Control functions offer very openand flexible ways of influencing application programming andensure that you can also implement future Motion Control applications.Using the Motion Control functions in conjunction with the powerfulPLC functionality results in high machine cycles due toshort response times as well as high product quality due toreproducible machine behavior.SIMOTION softwareRuntime softwareSIMOTION Technology packagesTechnology functions for Motion Control BasicThe "speed-controlled axis" technology objectThe technology functions for Motion Control Basic are suitablefor speed-controlled, electrical and hydraulic drives.• Speed setpoints are defined in the program (for servo andvector drives)• In addition, accumulative torque setpoints and torque limitscan be defined, e. g. for controlling a winder drive• Access to status and control words of the drive• Reading and writing of drive parameters"External encoder" technology objectExternal encoders can be used to detect position values of axes(on PROFIBUS, on board for C230-2 and as second encoder onthe drive)."Output cam and cam tracks" technology objectThe following output cam types are available:• Trip cams• Position-position output cams• Position-time output cams• Position-time-based output cams with maximum ON length• Counter output camsThe output cam statuses can be output with:• Internal variables• Standard digital outputs (SIMATIC S7-300, ET 200, ...)• On board outputs and TM15/TM17 High Feature (for highaccuracy requirements in the µs range)The following can be used as reference points for the switchingedges of the output cams:• Setpoints for real and virtual axes• Actual values of real axes and external encodersThe following functions are available:• Parameterizable hysteresis and effective direction• Activation and deactivation times can be specified separately(dead time compensation)• One-time and cyclic output of cam tracks• Parameterizable start/stop mode for cam tracks (immediately,with next track cycle, ...)• Edge-triggered enable of cam tracks in conjunction with TM17High Feature Terminal Module6Siemens PM 10 · 20056/7
