Configuring
9.3 Configuration procedure
If you want to create the SIMATIC Drive Controller without the integrated drive, deselect
the "Including SINAMICS Integrated" option.
Deselecting this option can, for example, be useful in the following cases:
• You are copying a previously configured SINAMICS Integrated drive control from another
project.
• The project is to be processed by another user without SINAMICS Startdrive.
• SINAMICS Integrated is not to be configured until later.
• SINAMICS Integrated is not being used, for example, because another drive system is
being used.
"Drive Controller" group
For the "Drive Controller" group, you have a range of functions to choose from in the menu
bar, toolbar and shortcut menu. With "Go online", for example, you can go online with all
devices in the group.
The functionality supported by a given device depends on the device and state. For example,
the function "Download to device" is supported by the SINAMICS Integrated but not by the
CPU when there is an active online connection. The "Load preview" dialog provides relevant
information and suggestions for actions for loading.
