• Failsafe SIMATIC CPU with integral Technology/Motion Control functionality
• With full functionality of the standard CPU 317-2 DP and CPU 317F-2 DP
• For cross-industry automation tasks in series machine, special machine and plant construction
• Ideal for synchronized motion, such as coupling to a virtual/real master, gear synchronization, cam disk, path interpolation, or print mark compensation
• 3D path interpolation with different kinematics
• Used as central controller in production lines with central and distributed I/O
• Distributed intelligence in Component Based Automation (CBA) on PROFIBUS DP
• With integrated I/O for high-speed technology functions (e.g. camming, reference point acquisition)
• PROFIBUS DP (DRIVE) interface for isochronous connection of drive components
• One common S7 user program for control and motion control tasks (no additional programming language necessary for motion control)
• "S7-Technology" option package required
• "S7 Distributed Safety" option package required

SIMATIC Micro Memory Card (8 MB) required for operation of the CPU.
