EPOS Control

4.5.1 Functionality
The EPOS block interfaces to the SINAMICS Basic Positioner via EtherNet/IP. The
EPOS Positioner is used for the absolute and relative positioning of linear and
rotary axes.
The AOI provides a direct interface to EPOS control. The SINAMICS S120 List
manual provides detailed explanation of all functionality available. Note that drive
must be referenced before absolute positioning is allowed. State control and
sequencing is not provided. Additional user logic is required to synchronize the
state of the drive with the positioning functions.
The instruction interface provides easy access to basic drive control and to most
signals and setpoints required for control of the MDI mode.
