Drive Objects - Siemens SINAMICS Series Operating Instructions Manual

Drive objects

A drive object is a self-contained software function with its own parameters and potentially its
own faults and alarms. Drive objects can be provided as standard (e.g. automatic speed
control), or can be added individually or in groups times (e.g. TM31).
Properties of a drive object:
● Separate parameter space
● Separate window in STARTER
● Separate fault/alarm system
● Separate PROFIdrive telegram for process data
