SHow to perform programming with STEP 7
SHow to configure an operator panel interface.
The structure and presentation of the information in the manual are oriented
to the intended uses of the FM 453, and the user’s own activity.
It distinguishes among the following:
SInstallation
These activities include installation and wiring of the FM 453.
SProgramming
These activities include parameterizing and programming the FM 453.
STroubleshooting and diagnostics
These activities include detecting and correcting faults and errors
– in the hardware setup of the module and its components
– and in the programming, handling and control of module functions.
SOperation
These users operate the FM 453. The operator accordingly deals only with
the control of positioning tasks.

FM 453 Servo Drive / Step Drive Positioning Module
C79000-G7076-C453-01
Product Summary
The FM 453 is a microprocessor-controlled positioning module for control-
ling servo and/or stepper motors.
The module has three mutually independent channels (axes).
The control mode for each channel is specified by the parameterization.
The FM 453 is a high-performance module for servo-controlled positioning
and for positioning with step drives.
The module works autonomously and is controlled by way of the user pro-
gram in the SIMATIC S7-400 system.
It can operate rotary and linear axes by servo or open-loop control with actu-
al-value tracking.
The FM 453 has a variety of operating modes.
The module has a non-volatile data memory to store parameterization data.
SThe FM 453 is low-maintenance (no battery).
SIt can be linked and adapted to user circumstances by parameterizing it as
required by the system.
The FM 453 can be used for both simple positioning and complex traversing
profiles demanding superior dynamic response, accuracy and speed. It is also
suitable for positioning tasks in machinery with high clock-pulse rates.
Typical uses for the positioning module might include:
STransfer lines
SAssembly lines
SPresses
SWoodworking machines
SManipulators
SLoaders
SAuxiliary movements in milling and turning machines
SPackaging machines
SConveyor equipment
Its standard range of functions per channel is comparable to that of the WF
721 module in the SIMATIC S5 system, and the FM 353/354 in the SIMATIC
S7-300 system.

1.1 The FM 453 in the S7-400 Programmable Controller
The FM 453 is designed as a function module of the SIMATIC S7-400 con-
troller.
The S7-400 programmable controller consists of a CPU and a variety of I/O
modules mounted in a rack.
Depending on requirements, the configuration of the programmable control-
ler can comprise one central controller (CC) and up to 21 expansion units
(EUs).
The FM 453, however, can only be operated in the central controller or in
expansion units 1 to 6.
The CPU is installed in the central controller.
For further details on the basic requirements for the layout of a programma-
ble controller, please refer to the S7-400/M7-400 Programmable Controller,
Hardware and Installation manual.

The most important components and their functions are listed in Table 1-1 .
Table 1-1 Components of a Positioning Controller
Component Function
Rack ... establish the mechanical and electrical connections
between the S7-400 modules.
FM 453 ... the positioning module. It is controlled by the
S7-400 CPU.
CPU ... executes the user program; and communicates with
the programming device and the operator panel via the
MPI interface and with the FM 453 via the backplane
bus.
Power supply (PS) ... converts line voltage (120/230 V AC) to 5 V and
(24 V)1) DC operating voltage to power the S7-400
and performs monitoring functions.
Signal modules (SM) ... adapts various process-signal levels to the S7-400.
Programming device (PG) ... configures, parameterizes, programs and tests the
S7-400 and the FM 453.
Operator panel (OP) ... the interface to the machine. It serves for operation
and monitoring. It is not an absolute prerequisite for
operation of an FM 453.
Power section ... actuates the motor.
Motor ... drives the axis.
Encoder ... the path measurement system that detects the current
position of the axis in servo control mode. By compar-
ing the actual position with the applicable setpoint
position, the FM 453 immediately detects discrepan-
cies and attempts to compensate for them.
Configuration
package ... includes:
SA manual
S3 1/2” diskette with:
– Function-block package FCs.
– The “Parameterize FM 453” parameterization
tool.
– Preconfigured interface for the COROS device
