Solutions with integrated functions

Integrated technology functions are ideal for applications in compact machines with a small number of axes, counter channels and control channels.
The technology functions are an integral component of the operating system of the CPU or of STEP 7 and utilize the inputs/outputs that are directly integrated on the CPU or standard I/O.
Parameterization of the integrated functions, e.g. a control or positioning algorithm, is performed easily and conveniently using the screens embedded in STEP 7.
