Appendix
A.7 Application examples
You have created a STEP 7 project with a SIMATIC control and a PROFIBUS network.
A.7.1.2
Inserting the inverter into the project
There are two ways to insert an inverter into the project:
● Using the inverter GSD
● Using the STEP 7 object manager
The more user-friendly option is only available when STARTER is installed (see Section
Tools to commission the converter (Page 39)).
Using an example of a SINAMICS G120 with Control Unit CU240B-2 or CU240E-2, the
procedure shows how you insert the inverter into the project using the GSD.
Precondition
You have installed the GSD of the inverter in your PC using HW Config (menu "Options -
Install GSD files").
Procedure
In order to insert an inverter into your project, proceed as follows:
1. Insert the inverter by dragging and dropping it into the PROFIBUS network.
You can find the inverter under "PROFIBUS DP - Other field devices" in the HW Config
hardware catalog.
2. Enter the PROFIBUS address set at the inverter in HW Config.
3. Select the appropriate telegram and insert the telegram into slot 1 of the inverter by
dragging and dropping.
More information on the telegram types can be found in Chapter Cyclic communication
(Page 116).
