Technology objects for Motion Control
- Motion control function in 1200/1500-CPU
- Easy to configure w/o deep knowledge of
drives
- Can be configured as Real or Virtual

axis
- Visual user interface
- Each TO has it’s own:
• Configuration
• Control panel
2)
• Diagnostics
3)
• Datablock
• Simulation
2)
- PLC-open commands
- Similar programming apart which drive is used
- No additional installations nor licenses are
needed
1) Not 1200
2) Not MeasuringInput, OutputCam, Camtrack, Cam
