3.2 Output cam TO basics
3.2.1 Output cam type
3.2.1.1 Software cam
Switching signals are used internally in the user program by evaluating the relevant state
system variable.
3.2.1.2 Hardware cam
Description
Switching signals are output externally on I/O devices by assigning a digital output to the Output
Cam TO.
The following can be used as digital outputs:
● Onboard outputs (SIMOTION C, D, ...)
● Centralized I/O (SIMOTION C)
● Distributed I/Os via PROFIBUS DP (e.g. ET 200M) and PROFINET IO (e.g. ET 200S)
● Drive I/O (for example, TM15 and TM17 High Feature terminal modules)
