Simulation mode
S7-1500 Motion Control offers the option to traverse axes without real hardware in simulation
mode. This allows speed, positioning and synchronous axes to be simulated in the CPU
without a drive.
Simulation mode is only possible for the drive connection via PROFIdrive.
To traverse axes in simulation mode, follow these steps:
1. Configure the hardware, the technology objects and your user program.
2. For the each axis to be simulated, set the technology object tag <TO>.Simulation.Mode to
3. If the hardware configured under point 1 is not connected to the CPU, change the
4. Save the project and compile the hardware and software.
5. Download the program to the CPU.
Note
Adapting monitoring
If error messages from the monitoring functions are repeatedly displayed during simulation,
temporarily adapt the monitoring limits.
