The FM 458-1 DP application module from the SIMATIC S7-400 system is available for mechatronic solutions with high cycle rates, especially in the production, packaging and printing machine industries.

Together with two additional plug-on expansion modules, the FM 458-1 DP permits a wide range of highly dynamic applications particularly at the drive level.

For example, torque, speed, positioning and position controls can be implemented for:

• Converter-fed DC and three-phase drives
• Winders with tension/dancer controls, coilers
• Multimotor drives, "unbreakable" electrical shaft
• Complex setpoint inputs, e.g., for cross cutters/flying saws, gearbox/motor test stands
• Hydraulic drives with high dynamic response in presses
