Explanation
Output cam output (CAM)
The cam output is performed on the basis of an internal time stamp. The temporal res‐
olution of the cam output depends on the hardware used.
Supported hardware:
● SIMOTION D4x5‑2 (terminal X142): Resolution 1 μs
● TM17 High Feature: Resolution 1 μs
● TM15: Typical resolution 125 μs (DRIVE‑CLiQ cycle clock)
● D410-2 (DI/DO 8 to 15): Typical resolution 125 μs
● ET 200MP TM timer DIDQ 16x24V: Resolution 1 μs
● ET 200SP TM timer DIDQ 10x24V: Resolution 1 μs
High-speed digital output (DO)
The cam output is performed via onboard outputs of the SIMOTION CPU. The output is
via a hardware timer and the cam output is achieved with a resolution with respect to
time < servo cycle.
Supported hardware:
● SIMOTION D4x5 (terminal X122, X132)
● SIMOTION D410 (terminal X121)
● SIMOTION C240, C240 PN (terminal X1)
Standard digital output (DO)
The output cam calculations are performed in the processing cycle clock (IPO or IPO2
cycle clock or in the servo cycle clock).
Actual cam output is performed in the servo cycle clock. The resolution with respect to
time of the cam output is generally reduced by the output cycle of the I/O used.
The resolution is therefore dependent as follows:
● For the standard I/O (e.g. ET 200), on the cycle time of the bus system
(PROFIBUS DP / PROFINET I/O)
● For the TM15 / TM17, on the cycle time of the bus system (PROFIBUS Integrated /
PROFIBUS DP / PROFINET IO)
● For the TM15 DI/DO, TM31, TM41, TB30, on the configured sampling time:
– cu.p0799 (CU inputs/outputs sampling time) for the onboard outputs
– p4099 (TMxx inputs/outputs sampling time) for TB30, TM15 DI/DO, TM31, and
TM41
Supported hardware:
● Onboard outputs (SIMOTION D, Controller Extension CX, SINAMICS Control Unit
CU3xx)
● Centralized I/O (SIMOTION C)
● Distributed I/O via PROFIBUS DP/PROFINET I/O (e.g. ET 200, …)
● Drive-related I/O (TM15, TM15 DI/DO, TM17 High Feature, TM31, TM41, TB30)
Note
The deployment of TM15 (SIMOTION) and TM17 (SIMOTION) is possible only with DP
Integrated, PN and servo cycle clocks ≥ 0.5 ms. This applies to TM modules connected directly
to D4x5-2 and indirectly via CX32-2/CU320-2.
