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).
