STARTER drive/commissioning software
Overview
Figure 5-2
The easy-to-use STARTER drive/commissioning tool can be used for:
• Commissioning,
• Optimization, and
• Diagnostics
This software can be operated either as a standalone PC application or can be integrated
into the SCOUT engineering system (with SIMOTION) or STEP 7 (with Drive ES Basic).
The basic functions and handling are the same regardless.
In addition to the SINAMICS drives, the current version of STARTER also supports
MICROMASTER 4 devices and frequency converters for the SIMATIC ET 200S FC
distributed I/O system.
The project wizards can be used to create the drives within the structure of the project tree.
Entry-level personnel are supported by solution-based dialog navigation, whereby a standard
graphics-based display maximizes clarity when setting the drive parameters.
