3.10.1 Drives with SIMOTION
Note the following:
Drives must be differentiated between:
● Drives that are connected to PROFIBUS/PROFINET
● Drives that are connected directly to the SIMOTION device The following applies to drives connected to PROFIBUS/PROFINET:
● Only drives that meet the requirements of PROFIdrive profile V3.0 can be connected:
– SINAMICS
– MICROMASTER (PROFIBUS only) – COMBIMASTER 411 (PROFIBUS only) – MASTERDRIVES (MC, VC) (PROFIBUS only) – SIMODRIVE 611U (PROFIBUS only)
– SIMODRIVE POSMO (CA, CD, SI) (PROFIBUS only) – ADI4 (analog drive interface for 4 axes)
– IM 174 (Interface Module for 4 axes)
● These drives are taken into the hardware configuration.
● The drives of the SINAMICS and MICROMASTER drive families can be configured, assigned parameters, and commissioned with SIMOTION SCOUT.
All analog drives can be connected via one of the four analog interfaces on the SIMOTION C230-2/C240 or via the ADI4 and IM174 PROFIBUS module.
● These drives are inserted into the project via the hardware configuration.
● The SIMOTION device requires only the actual values from the encoder at the input and issues the setpoints at the analog output.
● The drives must be configured, assigned parameters, and commissioned directly on the corresponding device.
With SIMOTION D, drives on SINAMICS Integrated are not inserted via HW Config. For more detailed information, see the D4x5 Commissioning and Hardware Installation Manual.

3.10.2 Inserting a SINAMICS drive on PROFIBUS DP
Initial situation
● The SIMOTION device is created in SIMOTION SCOUT
● A PROFIBUS subnet has been configured, for example, as PROFIBUS DP isochronous (by selecting Edit > Isochronous operation)
● The subnet interface is the master on this subnet of the SIMOTION device
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the PROFIBUS DP folder in the hardware catalog.
2. Open the SINAMICS subfolder.
3. Use drag-and-drop to drag an entry to the isochronous PROFIBUS subnet of the SIMOTION device.
4. Double-click the SINAMICS drive Properties to open them and set a cycle clock.

3.10.3 Inserting a SINAMICS drive on PROFINET IO
Initial situation
● The SIMOTION device is created in SIMOTION SCOUT
● A PROFINET IO has been configured
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the HW Config of the SIMOTION device.
2. Open the PROFINET IO/Drives/SINAMICS folder in the hardware catalog.
3. Select the SINAMICS S120 CBE20 drive.
4. Use drag-and-drop to drag the drive to the PROFINET IO subnet of the SIMOTION device.

3.10.4 Commissioning the drives
Drives that can be commissioned with SIMOTION SCOUT
You can use SIMOTION SCOUT to assign parameters to the following drives:
● SINAMICS
● MICROMASTER
● COMBIMASTER 411
For all other drives or for third-party drives, the appropriate commissioning program for the specific drive must be used (e.g. the SIMOCOM U program for SIMODRIVE 611U). If required, you must commission these drives directly on the drive.

3.10.5 SINAMICS on SIMOTION
3.10.5.1 SINAMICS S120 on SIMOTIONSTARTER functionality in SIMOTION SCOUT
It is possible to parameterize drives directly with SIMOTION SCOUT. The following example describes how to insert a SINAMICS drive in SIMOTION SCOUT.
Requirements:
● SIMOTION SCOUT has been installed on the PC/PG
● A SIMOTION SCOUT has been created Note
You can create the SINAMICS drive with PROFIBUS or PROFINET.
You must execute the following steps:
● Insert SIMOTION device
● Configure SINAMICS
Commissioning in SIMOTION SCOUT
1. Open the SIMOTION project in SIMOTION SCOUT.
2. Double-click Insert SIMOTION device.
3. Select a SIMOTION device.
4. Select the variant.
5. Deactivate the Open HW Config box.
6. Click OK to confirm.
7. Select the PROFIBUS interface or Ethernet.
If you have selected Ethernet, select the interface parameterization of the PG/PC.
8. Click OK to confirm.
9. With SIMOTION C and P only: Insert a SINAMICS device (see Inserting a drive (Page 74)).
10. Select Station > Save and compile in HW Config, then exit HW Config.
11. Open the structure tree of the SIMOTION device in the project navigator.
12. Open the structure tree of the drive (SINAMICS or SINAMICS_Integrated) in the project
3.10 Inserting drives
13. Double-click Configure drive unit.
The Configuration - Option module window opens.
14. Run through the drive wizard.
The STARTER functionality now starts in SIMOTION SCOUT.
How to configure the SINAMICS_Integrated drive (with SIMOTION D) is described in detail in the following documents:
● SIMOTION D4x5 Commissioning Manual
● SIMOTION D4x5 Product Manual
● SIMOTION D410, Commissioning Manual
Note
You can insert a standalone drive (e.g. SINAMICS S120) with the "Insert single drive unit"
element in the project navigator. It is commissioned using wizards in the working area of the workbench that contains the STARTER functionality.
3.10.6 Controlling drives
You can use SIMOTION SCOUT to control the configured drive. Use the control panel for this purpose. This is displayed as a detail view tab. Drives can only be controlled in online mode.
DANGER
Before the motor turns for the first time, pay special attention to the following potential hazards:
Make sure that the motor is connected correctly!
Secure the surrounding area:
Secure the motors! Do not release the magnetic motor brake of vertical axes without a safeguard!
Set the limit values! Bring the axes to neutral position! Choose low velocities and speeds!
Observe general accident prevention guidelines!
The function is released exclusively for commissioning and service purposes. The safety shutdowns from the higher-level control have no effect.
The function should only be used by authorized technicians.
The "Emergency stop with space bar" function is not guaranteed in all operating modes.
Therefore, there must be an EMERGENCY STOP circuit in the hardware. The appropriate measures must be taken by the user.
