Products
Central processing unit
Using the SIMATIC S7-1500 controller gives users top performance and built-in viability into the future. Users can turn the most sophisticated machine designs into reality thanks to the modular structure of the controller, which provides reliable assistance as they work their way through the digital transformation. The SIMATIC S7-1500 CPUs are being upgraded.
Motion Control V7.0 for V18
With TIA Portal V18 and the firmware version V3.0 the new Motion Control function library is released in version V7.0 The following motion control functions are available with TIA Portal V18 and the SIMATIC S7-1500(F) / S7-1500T(TF) CPUs: *Enhancements for SIMATIC controllers *Axis functions: Extensions for homing of axes, Extensions for hardware and software limit switches, Extension for superimposed movements... *Synchronous Functions *Kinematic functions: supporint up to 6 interpolating axes *Long-term trace: used to record variables in different runtime levels, and the recording duration is only limited by the hard disk memory of the engineering computer.
Flexible process control system
Digitalization, sustainability, shortage of skilled workers: the process industry is facing major challenges. To prepare plants for the future, operators must rely on a highly flexible process control system, which is why we launched a new software version with SIMATIC PCS neo V4.0. PCS neo V4.0 is ready for plant capacities and large-scale projects of up to 64,000 process objects and 56 controllers, making it suitable for industrial plants of all sizes.
SIMATIC Industrial Edge Devices (IPC’s, virtual device)
Industrial Edge Devices (IEDs) are placed in the field level where the data generation and acquisition from automation systems take place. Edge Devices can store automation data locally and retrieve it as needed. In addition, Edge Devices can load this data to the cloud infrastructure (e.g.
PTI 24VDC 2-channel module for stepper drives
Interface to drives with a PTI interface (Pulse Train Input). It is 24 VDC asymmetric up to a pulse frequency of 200 kHz is supported as a signal interface. It is particularly suitable for control with an axis technology object of the SIMATIC S7-1500. The module is especially suited for control by technology objects for axes.
