Performance Features
SIMOTION P can control various I/O systems and HMI components via its modules,
IsoPROFIBUS board and/or MCI-PN board extension.
SIMOTION P is available in the following variants:
●
with IsoPROFIBUS board
●
with MCI-PN board
●
with IsoPROFIBUS board and MCI-PN board
All the examples in the remainder of this document are based on using the IsoPROFIBUS
board.
Both rotary axes and linear axes can be operated.
The following can be used as servo drives:
●
SINAMICS S120 (PROFIBUS and PROFINET)
●
SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES MC (PROFIBUS)
●
SIMODRIVE 611U (PROFIBUS)
Subsequently, only drives will be mentioned in this context.
SIMOTION P contains the SIMOTION kernel, which provides Motion Control and PLC
functionality.
The SIMOTION P project is planned, configured, parameterized, commissioned, and
programmed using the SIMOTION SCOUT Engineering System (ES). This can be done
using text or graphic input.
User data is stored on the hard drive of the SIMOTION P350-3.
Siemens ProTool/Pro or WinCC flexible software can be used to visualize operational
sequences and/or to operate the machine. Third-party systems can be linked via the OPC
interface.
