SIMOTION C

The combination of PLC and motion control

Flexible, versatile, powerful: With its outstanding variety of interfaces, SIMOTION C is one of the most communicative motion controllers for servo, stepper, and hydraulic drives.

Flexible performance, a convincing choice for all applications

SIMOTION C can be used extremely flexibly. In addition to the interfaces already integrated, peripherals from the SIMATIC S7-300 modules range can be added to the motion controller, and it scores wherever maximum flexibility in selecting the drives is required.

The PLC-based system can handle a wide range of processor signals and also manages high-end motion control functionalities, such as path interpolation and distributed gearing.
