Technology Objects Configuration – S7-1500 & SINAMICS S210
Overview
This application example demonstrates how to configure and commission technology objects using SIMATIC S7-1500 controllers and SINAMICS S210 servo drives in TIA Portal. The example focuses on positioning and synchronous motion control.
Application Objective
The objective of this application is to show how technology objects can be used to achieve precise positioning and synchronised motion between multiple axes using Siemens Motion Control solutions.
Application Scope
The application covers the configuration of positioning axes and synchronous axes, PROFINET communication, motion control programming, and basic commissioning steps.
Automation Task Description
The automation task consists of two servo axes: one configured as a positioning axis (leading axis) and one configured as a synchronous axis (following axis), connected via PROFINET in isochronous mode.
System Architecture
Controller:
– SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU
Drives:
– SINAMICS S210 PN
– SIMOTICS S-1FK2 motors
Communication:
– PROFINET IO with isochronous mode enabled
