• SIMATIC CPU with integral technology/motion control functionality
• With full standard CPU 315-2 PN/DP functionality (except for CBA)
• 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
• Position and pressure-regulated hydraulic axes
• Used as central controller in production lines with central and distributed I/O
• 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
• PROFINET interface with 2-port switch
• PROFINET IO controller for operating distributed I/O on PROFINET
• One common S7 user program for control and motion control tasks (no additional programming language necessary for motion control)
• "S7 Technology" option package required (version V4.2 SP3 and higher)

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