Use of application examples
Application examples illustrate the solution of automation tasks through an interaction of several
components in the form of text, graphics and/or software modules. The application examples are
a free service by Siemens AG and/or a subsidiary of Siemens AG (“Siemens”). They are non-
binding and make no claim to completeness or functionality regarding configuration and
equipment. The application examples merely offer help with typical tasks; they do not constitute
customer-specific solutions. You yourself are responsible for the proper and safe operation of the
products in accordance with applicable regulations and must also check the function of the
respective application example and customize it for your system.
Siemens grants you the non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable right to have the
application examples used by technically trained personnel. Any change to the application
examples is your responsibility. Sharing the application examples with third parties or copying the
application examples or excerpts thereof is permitted only in combination with your own products.
The application examples are not required to undergo the customary tests and quality inspections
of a chargeable product; they may have functional and performance defects as well as errors. It is
your responsibility to use them in such a manner that any malfunctions that may occur do not
result in property damage or injury to persons.
Disclaimer of liability
Siemens shall not assume any liability, for any legal reason whatsoever, including, without
limitation, liability for the usability, availability, completeness and freedom from defects of the
application examples as well as for related information, configuration and performance data and
any damage caused thereby. This shall not apply in cases of mandatory liability, for example
under the German Product Liability Act, or in cases of intent, gross negligence, or culpable loss of
life, bodily injury or damage to health, non-compliance with a guarantee, fraudulent
non-disclosure of a defect, or culpable breach of material contractual obligations. Claims for
damages arising from a breach of material contractual obligations shall however be limited to the
© Siemens AG 2022 All rights reserved
foreseeable damage typical of the type of agreement, unless liability arises from intent or gross
negligence or is based on loss of life, bodily injury or damage to health. The foregoing provisions
do not imply any change in the burden of proof to your detriment. You shall indemnify Siemens
against existing or future claims of third parties in this connection except where Siemens is
mandatorily liable.
By using the application examples, you acknowledge that Siemens cannot be held liable for any
damage beyond the liability provisions described.
Other information
Siemens reserves the right to make changes to the application examples at any time without
notice. In case of discrepancies between the suggestions in the application examples and other
Siemens publications such as catalogs, the content of the other documentation shall have
precedence.
The Siemens terms of use (https://support.industry.siemens.com) shall also apply.
Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the secure
operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary
to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept.
Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems, machines
and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected to an
enterprise network or the Internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and only
when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please visit
https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity.
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure.
Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available
and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no longer
supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber
threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS Feed

1 Introduction
1 Introduction
This document tracks innovations and necessary steps to upgrade from the
previous version to the actual one. This is necessary, since improvements and new
functionalities cannot always be implemented in a full compatible way. This
document should ease your upgrade to a new version.
Note In this document all changes are summarized in note form.

You can find a more detailed list of all changes in the Block LRK_aVersion!

3 SIMATIC Rotary-Knife V1.0.0 to V1.1.0

3.1 General information
Version update contains function extensions and bug fixes.
3.2 Change log

The functionality of the standard application Rotary-Knife is increased by the
following extensions:
Cosine cut profile interpolate with B-spline

• ➔ now acceleration torque precontrol during cosine cut profile possible.
• ➔ now DC-Link precontrol during cosine cut profile possible.
Switch over the leading value

It is possible to switch over between different leading values stored in the structure
axisTOs.leadingValue.
Possible leading values are:

• Positioning axis
• Synchronous axis
• External encoder
Constant leading value velocity at cut

During the cut, the Auxiliary Axis is not connected to the LeadingValue via a
gearbox synchronization but is constantly moved at the speed measured just
before the cut.
Interrupt/Continue Production using “Axis in Simulation”

In case of interruption, the synchronization relationships are not terminated, but
only switched to simulation.
Adjustment of the gear factor between AuxiliaryAxis and LeadingValue

The gear factor can be connected to the parameters
• userInterface,gearInRatioNumerator
• usersInterface.gearInRatioDenominator
be adjusted.
All by the time known bugs are corrected!
