- Machines for glass, ceramics and stone processing
- Presses
- Textiles machines
- Special-purpose machines
Motion control provides high-quality positioning and synchronization functionality for SIMATIC M7 and SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES MC.
The modular design of the hardware and software allows flexible adaptation to a wide variety of different control tasks.

Centralized technology
In the centralized solution with SIMATIC M7, the technological functions are used on the FM 356-4 and FM 456-2 1).
The drives communicate with each other and with the SIMATIC M7 system over the SIMOLINK drive interface. This enables setpoints and actual values to be exchanged at high-speed synchronous to the control task.
SIMOLINK is implemented as a fiber optic ring and synchronizes up to 200 drives. The transfer of 100 32-bit variables takes only 630 ms, for example. The transfer of setpoint and actual values is synchronized with the system cycle.
If the drives are networked via PROFIBUS-DP, drive parameters can be exchanged between SIMATIC S7 and SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES MC (centrally and decentrally) during operation.
With a centralized system on the SIMATIC M7, digital SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES MC drives are used. In this case, the optional technology package is not needed with SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES MC.
The runtime package for SIMATIC M7 contains standard applications for FM 356-4 and FM 456-2 1). The package includes the complete Motion Control functionality in the form of a finished application. It is neither necessary nor possible to modify the application using CFC.
If required, we will develop customized solutions on the SIMATIC M7 using graphical CFC configuring.
Distributed technology
The technological functions are integrated in SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES MC; they are available as a software option.
In addition to the technological functions for positioning and synchronization, logical and mathematical blocks (AND, OR, compare, add, subtract, etc.) are available on the SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES MC and can be used freely by the user.
The technological functions and the logical and mathematical blocks can be interconnected by the user via parameters.
Standard configurations are also available here to facilitate configuration and start-up.
Application interface to S7 CPU
The application interface to the S7 CPU has the same structure with centralized and distributed technology.
Communication between the S7 and M7 systems and between S7 and SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES MC takes place via control and checkback signals. These signals define the operating mode, for example, or start the axes. The checkback messages from the technology functions are also entered in this interface.
A task-oriented data interface allows technology and drive parameters to be read and written.
