Basics of program execution

Programming the CPU
Hardware and software requirements
Your PG/PC is connected to the SIMATIC Drive Controller over the PROFIBUS or
PROFINET interface.
To configure and program the SIMATIC Drive Controller, you require:
● SIMATIC STEP 7 Professional, V16 or higher
● For programming the safety program of the F-CPU "STEP 7 Safety Advanced" as of V16
● Option package SINAMICS Startdrive V16, Basic or Advanced, for configuring the
SINAMICS Integrated . Startdrive Advanced has additional engineering functions
compared to Startdrive Basic, such as a safety acceptance test.
Points to note
The function blocks for the use of time-based IO (TIO instructions) are not supported by the
X142 interface. We therefore recommend using the technology objects measuring input,
output cam or cam track for the timer DI/DQ.
