Technology CPU for cam-switch and drive applications
The Siemens 6ES7317-6TJ10-0AB0 is a SIMATIC S7-300 317T-2 DP technology CPU — the 'T' designates it for closed-loop motion and cam-switch tasks that a standard 317-2 DP cannot handle in deterministic cycle time. It carries 8 FM technology functions purpose-built for high-speed cam switch signals and drive control, making it the right pick when a line needs position-triggered outputs at takt rate, not just logic scans.
Programming and engineering environment
Programmable in LAD, FBD, STL, SCL, GRAPH, HiGraph, and CFC — the CFC support is key for drive-control loops where you wire function blocks instead of ladder logic. Requires STEP 7 V5.2 SP1 or higher with the S7 Technology option package; the technology package adds the cam-switch and positioning blocks the standard 317 cannot compile.
