Device Configuration Detection - Siemens SINAMICS S120 Commissioning Manual

Startdrive commissioning tool
2.3 User interface - parameterization
The inspector window is displayed only partially in the Startdrive when called, due to lack of
space. Display of the inspector window can be maximized (minimized) for specification of the
components:
● To do so, double click on the header of the inspector window (gray bar).
Subdivision of the "Properties" area
For each information type, there are additional subareas that can be displayed via secondary
tabs
The most important information type for SINAMICS S120 drives is the "Properties" area. The
following secondary tabs are displayed in this area:
● General
Display of the properties and settings of the drive device, drive object, or the hardware
component. Here you can enter the settings on the user interface. The secondary
navigation is located in the left-hand part of the inspector window. Information and
parameters are arranged there in the groups. When you click on the arrow icon at the left
next to the group names, if subgroups exist then you can open the group. If you select a
group or a subgroup, then the appropriate information and parameters are displayed in
the right-hand part of the inspector window, where they can also be edited.
For S120 drives, mainly the drive objects used are specified (e.g. an infeed unit) using
this subarea.
● I/O variables
Displaying I/O variables of the PLC. You can assign names to the variables, assign the
variables user-defined variable tables from a drop-down list - and allocate comments to
variables. The I/O variables are also listed in the PLC variable table.
● System constants
Display of the constants required by the system using the hardware identifiers of the
modules. The system constants are also listed in the PLC variable table.
● Texts
Display of the reference language and the specification of the text source for project
texts.
2.3.7

Device configuration detection

The results of a detection run (of the device configuration) are listed in the dialog "Detection
of the device configuration". All assignable components are listed in the table and are
assigned as follows:
● Components are assigned to drive objects.
● Drive objects are assigned to drive units.
All components which could not be assigned to a module are deposited in the folder "Non-
assignable components" (refer to Chapter "Deriving the hardware device configuration
(Page 155)").
