Overview
(continued)
SIMOTION provides functions for controlling and monitoring a
SINAMICS drive via the technology object "Axis". The following
axis technologies are distinguished during the configuration
phase:
•
Drive axis
Motion Control is performed using a speed setpoint without
position control. For a drive axis, any drive that supports
telegram 1 or 2 as per the PROFIdrive profile can be used, e.g.
a SINAMICS G converter.
•
Positioning axis, synchronous axis, path axis
Motions are position-controlled. To this end, the drive must
provide an actual position value which SIMOTION uses along
with other signals to coordinate the axes. SINAMICS S drives
must be used for these axes.
