PLC Integrates Technologies

Sept. 1, 2004
The 317T Integrated Technology PLC is designed to save time and money by combining technology and motion control into one Simatic PLC.

Using the vendor’s STEP 7 software, only one program is needed for PLC and motion control, simplifying configuration and programming while reducing training and hardware costs. The 317T Integrated Technology PLC can control up to 16 axes. Motion control functions available include positioning in absolute, relative, additive and superimposed operating modes. Other functions include geared synchronous motion, electronic cam disc and cam functionality, moving to a positive stop, and measuring probe functionality (used for print mark correction).
