9.3.5 Seamless Integration in SIMATIC Automation Solutions
Siemens AG 6SE7087-6QX70 (Version AN)
SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES
The tried-and-tested standard function block packages DVA_S5 /3/ for
SIMATIC S5 and Drive ES, SIMATIC /4/ for SIMATIC S7 provide
convenient access to all process data and parameters of the
MASTERDRIVES MC using the PROFIBUS-DP or USS protocols - not
only for standard functions, but for all technology functions.
For example, a positioning NC block ("MDI block") can be defined and
the movement started simultaneously in one PROFIBUS-DP message.
The complete traversing process now runs without further intervention
from the PLC. At the end of the movement, the axis returns a
checkback message indicating that the target position has been
reached. The same procedure is naturally also used with other field
buses (CAN bus, USS etc.).
The following components are also available for the seamless
integration of MASTERDRIVES MC in a SIMATIC S7-300 or S7-400
automation system using distributed technology (see Catalogs LS01
and /1/):
♦ SIMATIC S7 "Motion Control Configuring Package" on CD-ROM
(contained in /1/):
Software for communication between the S7 user program and the
technology via PROFIBUS-DP across a clear, easy-to-handle data
interface for the following functions:
• Transfer of control/checkback signals to the technology
• Task interface for defining MDI and automatic NC blocks and
programs, gear ratios, cam tables, etc.
♦ Motion Control HMI Package for SIMATIC S7 (see /2/):
Software for the application interface to operator panels OP25,
OP27, OP37, TP27, etc. with standard screens for operating the
positioning axes, including the following functions:
• MDI and automatic NC program input
• Input of machine data and cam tables
• Diagnostic screens with definition/display of control and
checkback signals
You will find further information in the section entitled "Communication
with the technology".
