Scalability
SIMATIC Drive Controller offer the required flexibility and performance for a wide range of
controller applications in machine and plant engineering.
Scaling with performance class
To meet your machine and plant planning requirements, the SIMATIC Drive Controller can
be scaled in terms of CPU and Motion Control performance and configuration limits (program
and data memory and Motion Control resources).
The comprehensive networking options over PROFINET and PROFIBUS DP are the same
for all versions. This means that you can scale simply by CPU performance – without
affecting the available interfaces and thus your machine and plant topology.
