Parameterization of the technology objects in S7T Config:

• Electrical, hydraulic and virtual axes (speed, positioning, synchronized axes).
• Path objects with standard kinematics, from Cartesian portals via Scara robots, roller pickers to articulated arm robots.
• Cam switches.
• Cam tracks.
• Measuring input.
• Cams.
• External encoders.

Additional diagnostic and start-up tools:

• Real-time trace.
• Control panel for drives.
• Starter (start-up of MICROMASTER + SINAMICS).

Catalog containing an extensive set of motion control blocks for:

• Position-controlled positioning.
• 3D path interpolation
• Gearing.
• Electronic cam.
• Print-mark correction via measuring input.
• Distance or time dependent cam switching.
• Distance or time dependent cam tracks.
• Traversing to fixed endstop.
