Features:

  • WF 726C V1.5 positioning module for the SIMATIC S5 platform
  • Serial-absolute and incremental encoder compatibility
  • Up to three independently operating axes
For Siemens 6FM1726-3CA00, selection starts with the installed S5 station and encoder signal type; this confirms that the WF 726C variant fits the intended motion task.

Closed-loop positioning and open-loop limit-switch operation are alternative operating methods, so the machine concept determines the required configuration.

Traversing programs reside on the module, allowing the assigned axis work to be handled locally instead of adding the same task to the central CPU.

The Siemens 6FM1726-3CA00 WF 726C V1.5 positioning module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Description
Siemens 6FM1726-3CA00 is the WF 726C V1.5 positioning module for SIMATIC S5 systems using serial-absolute or incremental position encoders.

During replacement or expansion work, identify the installed S5 station, the encoder type, and the required axis count before selecting this exact WF 726C variant.

The module is intended for machine-positioning tasks that call for either closed-loop positioning or open-loop limit-switch operation; retain the complete article number when matching an existing installation.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
For encoder selection, what feedback types does Siemens 6FM1726-3CA00 accept?
Siemens identifies 6FM1726-3CA00 for serial-absolute and incremental position encoders, so the installed encoder type is the first selection check.
How many positioning tasks can Siemens 6FM1726-3CA00 coordinate within the WF 725/WF 726 family?
The WF 725/WF 726 documentation assigns up to three simultaneously and independently operating axes to the module family that includes Siemens 6FM1726-3CA00.
When is open-loop control relevant for Siemens 6FM1726-3CA00?
Where the machine concept uses limit-switch control rather than closed-loop feedback, Siemens 6FM1726-3CA00 can be considered within the documented open-loop WF 725/WF 726 operating method.
Where are traversing programs held when Siemens 6FM1726-3CA00 is used?
Traversing programs are stored on the positioning module; this applies to the WF 725/WF 726 arrangement that includes Siemens 6FM1726-3CA00.
Why is the SIMATIC S5 controller role important for Siemens 6FM1726-3CA00?
Because Siemens 6FM1726-3CA00 performs the assigned position-control task at module level, the related axis workload is relieved from the central SIMATIC S5 CPU.
