Designed for high-performance and user-configurable closed-loop control tasks in the SIMATIC S7-400.
Can be adapted to individual requirements as required, such as: Controlling, computing, closed-loop control as well as motion control. Can therefore be used flexibly for a wide variety of applications.
Extensive library with approx. 300 function blocks: E.g. simple functions such as AND, ADD and OR through to complex GMC (general motion control) blocks as virtual master or gear functions.
User-friendly graphical configuration with the SIMATIC engineering tool CFC (Continuous Function Chart) and the D7-SYS add-on software package: Optimum code generation by the compiler, therefore SCL is not required.
PROFIBUS DP interface onboard.
SIMATIC FM 458-1 DP is based on more than 15 years experience with high-performance control systems and combines this know-how with the advantages of SIMATIC – the leading automation system for decades. In contrast to other function modules with static structures/functions, the FM 458-1 DP application module can be configured flexibly and adapted to individual requirements.
