Introduction
1.5 System components
Approved components for SIMOTION D
Note
Modules and devices approved for SIMOTION D are listed in the SIMOTION Motion Control
System, PM 10 Catalog and the "SINAMICS Catalog."
For catalog order numbers, refer to the list of references.
Note
Note that not all modules in the ET 200 I/O family are approved for SIMOTION. Moreover,
system-related functional differences can come into play when these I/O or I/O systems are
used on SIMOTION vs. on SIMATIC. For example, special process-control functions (e.g.
insertion and removal under voltage) are not supported by SIMOTION for the ET 200M
distributed I/O system.
A detailed, regularly updated list of the I/O modules approved for use with SIMOTION, as
well as notes on their use, can be found on the Internet at:
http://www4.ad.siemens.de/view/cs/en/11886029
Besides the I/O modules released for use with SIMOTION, in principle, any certified standard
slave that supports cyclic data exchange (DP V0) and, if required, acyclic data exchange
(DP V1) can be connected to SIMOTION.
These modules are integrated via the GSD file of the device's manufacturer.
Note
Please note that in individual cases further boundary conditions must be fulfilled in order to
integrate a standard slave into SIMOTION. Some modules need "driver modules", e.g. in the
form of function blocks, which make integration possible or much easier.
For modules approved for use with SIMOTION (e.g. S7-300 module FM 350-1, etc.) these
driver blocks are part of the Function Library.
