Application
The EM 253 is a function module for simple positioning tasks. It controls stepper motors and servo motors
via a high-frequency pulse input.
Design
The EM 253 positioning module is mounted in the same manner as an expansion module and connected to the
S7-200 expansion bus via the integrated connection cable. The configuration data are read out of the CPU
automatically on connection.
The integrated inputs/outputs are connected via removable terminal blocks.
The module has the following features:
5 digital inputs for signals from the process
24 pulse outputs for direct activation of the drive (forwards/backwards or speed/direction)
2 control outputs (DIS; CLR).
12 status LEDs

Function
Variable output frequency 12 to 200,000 Hz for controlling the axis
Flexible output interface:
5 V DC or RS 422
Absolute traverse:
Traverse the axis to a specified absolute position.
Relative traverse:
Traverse the axis by a relative distance.
Manual traverse:
Manual traversing of the axis, jog mode.
Continuous control
Max. 25 positioning profiles each with up to 4 speed changes can be loaded
Integrated smoothing function for stepless changeover between 2 speeds (S Curve, jerk limitation)
Backlash compensation for changes in direction
Reference point approach (selection from 4 different modes)

Configuring
The EM 253 is configured using STEP 7-Micro/WIN V3.2. The integrated Wizard supports
Convenient parameterization of the bus parameters, e.g.,
Number of pulses per revolution
Units for distance measurement, e.g., mm, degrees, etc.
Creation of the traversing profiles
Definition of the reference search mode
Effective support is also provided by the comprehensive commentary and a context-sensitive online Help.
The respective command set is automatically generated following configuration and can be used in the PLC
project without any restrictions.
Commissioning
A special startup tool is provided in STEP 7-Micro/WIN for easy startup. It supports, for example:
Status monitoring
Parameter optimization without program modifications
Fine adjustment and system optimization
Transfer of modified parameters (teach-in mode)
With these functions, startup is completed in the shortest possible time.
