•
Drive software of SINAMICS S120 - implements all drive functions
•
... provides the electronic power supply for SIMOTION D, e.g., SITOP
Components on PROFIBUS DP
Function
... configures, parameterizes, programs, and tests with the
"SIMOTION SCOUT" engineering system (ES)
... is used for operating and monitoring functions. This is not an
essential requirement for the operation of a control unit.
