The Siemens motion control program provides download ready-to-apply function blocks, such as camming, cross-cutter, gearing, flying saw, jog path, load sharing, positioning, rotary knife, splice control, and synchronism, from an online library. Built-in simulation tools allow the testing, validation, and optimization of an application code, independent of physical hardware. The integration of safety technology enables safety and standard control over one network, drive-based safety including motion functions, and a safety acceptance test integrated in an engineering tool. Uniform system diagnostics are automatically generated during device configuration.
