The CPU 317T-3 PN/DP is used primarily in machines where a control with a large program memory coincides with high processing speed and motion control requirements, e.g.:

• Processing/assembly lines
• Carton erectors
• Palletizers
• Handling systems
• Flying shears
• Bottling plants
• Wrapping
• Labeling machines
• Roll feeds
• Portals with interpolation

The typical application for motion control functions is for 3-8 axes. The maximum number of axes is 32. Along with accurate single axis positioning, the module is suitable primarily for complex motion sequences such as coupling to form a virtual or actual master, gearing, cam, path interpolation or print mark correction.

The quantitative framework of the CPU 317T-3 PN/DP makes it ideal for the use of SIMATIC Engineering Tools, e.g.:

• Programming with SCL
• Machining step programming with S7-GRAPH
