Configuration Information - Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 System Manual

Device view
There is a separate device view for each of the two components of the SIMATIC Drive
Controller.
● CPU device view: Parameter assignment of the CPU including communication interfaces
● SINAMICS Integrated device: Configuration of the SINAMICS S120 drive components
(Line Modules, Motor Modules, motors, etc.), drive frames, etc.
You can switch between the two views simply and easily with a link.
As in the network view, different content is shown in the Inspector window depending on the
selection in the device view.

Configuration information

Routing
The PROFIdrive Integrated represents a lower-level network. A programming device
connected over PROFINET/PROFIBUS uses routing to access the SINAMICS Integrated .
The following requirements must be met in order for you to set up an online connection with
the SINAMICS Integrated:
● A subnet needs to be configured for the interface to which you are connecting the
programming device. Routing to the SINAMICS Integrated is only possible if a subnet is
configured.
● The configuration must be loaded to the CPU for CPU routing information to be available.
Accessible devices
As the SINAMICS Integrated is assigned to a lower-level network, you can only access the
higher-level CPU – and not the SINAMICS Integrated – via "Accessible devices".
IP address of the PROFINET interfaces
With the SIMATIC Drive Controller, the IP addresses 192.168.215.240 to 192.168.215.255
are reserved for internal communication (subnet mask 255.255.255.240). When configuring
the PROFINET interfaces (X150, X160, X130), you must ensure that the internal addresses
are not located in their network. With IP, the network is defined by an AND connection of IP
address and subnet mask.
Startdrive installation without STEP 7 Professional
If only Startdrive is installed, you can configure a SINAMICS Integrated "offline". Online
functions are not possible because routing information is not available.
Upload as new station
The SIMATIC Drive Controller can be uploaded as a new station. Only the CPU is loaded.
Requirement: You have only configured the CPU and not the SINAMICS Integrated.
An upload of the SINAMICS Integrated is not currently supported.
