SIMATIC S7-400 FM 451 Positioning Module for Fast/Low-Speed Drive
$3,111.29 – $3,456.98
FM 451 — 3-channel positioning module for rapid/slow (fast/creep-speed) traverse drives, 24V DC supply, typ. current 550mA, includes configuration package on CD, supports reference cams, reversing cams, flying actual value setting. [VERIFIED via Siemens official datasheet]
Technical Specifications
| Module Type | Function Module (Positioning) |
| Channels | 3 (4 digital inputs per axis, 12 total) |
| Compatible Drive Speed Range | Rapid/slow traverse (fast and creep-speed) drives |
| Power Supply | 24V DC |
| Typical Current Consumption | 550 mA |
| Supported Functions | Reference cams, reversing cams, flying actual value setting, start/stop, SSI absolute encoder support |
| Included | Configuration package on CD |
Typical Applications
Used for positioning control specifically suited to two-speed (rapid/slow) drive systems, an earlier-generation alternative to the FM 453 for motion control applications on S7-400 systems where the drive operates at distinct fast and slow traverse speeds rather than continuously variable speed.
