5.1 Overview of commissioning
Apart from the symbolic assignment, no further configuration is required for the communication.
As addresses no longer have to be configured, the connection is retained even with address
offsets.
Note
During the configuration of drive objects (DO drive, DO encoder, etc.) as well as in the
telegram Configuration dialog box (see Section Message frame configuration (Page 121)),
you can deactivate Automatic telegram configuration and Automatic telegram adaptation.
As many of the previously described advantages are lost through a deactivation, we
recommend that a deactivation only be performed in exceptional circumstances.
The symbolic assignment enables an independent configuration of the axis on the SIMOTION
side and the drive on the SINAMICS side.
This enables, for example:
● The PLC and motion control functions to be completely configured by a programmer even
● the drive can be separately configured and optimized by a drive expert and
● at a later time the technology object can be symbolically assigned to the drive object via
Activating symbolic assignment later
Symbolic assignment simplifies the configuration of the technological relationships including
the communication between controller and drive significantly. The names of the symbolic
assignments in plain text is also advantageous for project maintenance.
Symbolic assignment is therefore recommended for new projects as of V4.2 and is
automatically active.
If symbolic assignment is used in a project, telegrams, interconnections and addresses of
engineering system are created automatically by default.
At the same time the engineering system sets up "optimum" PROFIdrive telegrams including
telegram extensions, performs the necessary BICO interconnections and determines the
addresses.
When projects are upgraded they can be converted to symbolic assignment and must be
evaluated on a case-by-case basis, since project revisions may be necessary.

an interconnection dialog box.
Note
The previous methods of drive, axis and I/O configuration are still available. Symbolic
assignment must be deactivated for these methods.
For newly created projects, symbolic assignment is used by default.
If projects < V4.2 are upgraded, the symbolic assignment is deactivated by default and
must be activated when required.
Symbolic assignment can be activated/deactivated in SIMOTION SCOUT via the
"Project" > "Use symbolic assignment" menu.
