Product Description

A SIEMENS Multifunctional Processor Module (often referred to as a Technology Module, Function Module, or High-Performance CP) is a specialized module designed to offload specific, time-critical, or complex tasks from the main Central Control Module (CCM). Unlike standard Input/Output (I/O) modules, these modules possess their own dedicated microprocessor and memory, allowing them to execute pre-programmed, localized control routines independently and in parallel with the main PLC program.

This approach ensures deterministic and high-speed performance for demanding applications such as motion control, high-speed counting, closed-loop control, or specialized communication protocols. The CCM simply sends high-level commands, and the Multifunctional Processor Module handles the immediate, real-time execution, significantly enhancing overall system throughput and response.

Product Parameters

Product Advantages

• Offloading the Main CPU: By executing complex tasks locally, the module frees up the main CPU for core control logic, resulting in faster PLC cycle times and improved overall system performance.

• Deterministic Control: Guarantees consistent, precise execution of time-critical functions (like motion control), irrespective of the main PLC load or network traffic.

• High Precision: Offers significantly higher measurement and output resolution, as well as faster reaction times than standard I/O, allowing for sub-millisecond synchronization and control.

• Simplified Programming: Many complex functionalities are pre-engineered into the module’s firmware and exposed as simple technology objects, reducing the amount of complex code the user has to write in the main PLC program.

• Modularity: Allows users to add specialized functionality only where needed, providing a cost-effective and scalable solution for advanced requirements.

Important Considerations

• Configuration Complexity: Due to their specialized nature, these modules often require more detailed parametrization and knowledge of the specific function (e.g., motion profiles) compared to standard I/O.

• Firmware Synchronization: Ensure the module’s firmware is compatible with the main CPU’s firmware and the engineering software version to guarantee seamless communication.

• Data Consistency: Carefully manage the data exchange between the main CPU and the module, ensuring synchronized data transfer for critical setpoints and actual values.

• Hardware Interfacing: Use the correct type of high-speed wiring and shielding for encoder and pulse output connections to maintain signal integrity and prevent noise.

Product Applications

Multifunctional Processor Modules are essential for applications demanding high speed, precision, and complex, continuous control.

• High-Speed Counting and Acquisition: Reading signals from fast encoders, flow meters, or totalizers that require event detection in the microsecond range.

• Motion Control: Executing precise positioning, velocity control, and electronic gearing/camming for single or multi-axis machines.

• Closed-Loop Control (Advanced): Implementing complex, fast-acting PID control loops with specific performance requirements that exceed the capability of the main PLC scan cycle.

• Specialized Communication: Serving as communication masters for niche industrial networks or proprietary protocols that are not supported directly by the main CPU.

• Test and Measurement: Performing rapid data acquisition or generating high-frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM) outputs for specialized testing equipment.
