With its functions for system-integrated technology, the SIMATIC system provides the maximum flexibility to effortlessly implement even the most exacting motion control needs. The TIA portal’s technology object parameterization makes it possible to program applications with engineering as efficiently as possible. Behaviour may be tracked during the machine’s whole development process thanks to comprehensive diagnostics and trace features. This also operates safely thanks to the inbuilt safety features.

Items related to technology

Technology objects give the user program coder with easy access to and usage of the numerous technical functions of a SIMATIC controller by encapsulating them. PID control, counting , measuring, and motion control (single axis, coordinated axes kinematics, etc.) are the technological functions.

Diagnostics

With the integrated diagnostics features found in SIMATIC systems, you can identify and fix errors. When a malfunction occurs while the parts are in use, they automatically notify it and give more comprehensive details. A device’s variables can be recorded and evaluated using the trace function. Unplanned downtime can be reduced via plant-wide diagnostics.

Safety

By smoothly integrating safety functions into conventional automation with SIMATIC controllers, SIMATIC safety integrated consistently executes safety solutions based on totally integrated automation (TIA). Siemens provides optimum integration and consistency when combined with SINAMICS drives and its integrated safety functions via PROFINET or PROFIBUS via PROFIsafe.

System components

Specific to your application

You require a controller with motion control features in addition to SINAMICS drives, SIMOTICS motors, SIMATIC HMIs, and I/O system in order to optimise the complete machine to your specific requirements. The machine’s seamless operation is ensured by dependable and secure communication between all systems components, which is founded on tried and true industry standards.

Engineering

Using TIA portal, engineer the complete automation system

You may engineer your creative machines with ease using the resources available on the totally integrated automation portal (TIA). You get total access to all aspects of digital automation, including integrated engineering, transparent operation, and digital planning. Our freely available, ready-to-use application examples offer a basic solution that can be easily customized using TIA portal, catering to a wide range of motion control applications. For a limited number of complex motion control systems, you can purchase extra licenses and quickly and easily integrate them into TIA portal.

Motion control to meet the most demanding requirements.

Complex Multi-axis systems and kinematics can be efficiently automated with the use of technology CPUs(T-CPU). Gear and cam synchronization can also be realized between CPUs, allowing almost infinite axis quantity, thanks to the “cross-PLC synchronous operation” function found in all T-CPUs.

Cross-PLC synchronous operation makes it simple to apply modular automation techniques in addition to power distribution over many CPUs. All machine and human safety criteria can be satisfied because of integrated safety functionality. Engineering is done in the totally integrated automation portal, which is easy to use and saves time, much like with all the SIMATIC controllers.
