What is Topo?
The Topo software is used in Create MyConfig to configure, display, print and compare
SINAMICS topologies.
Comparison topology
An image of the SINAMICS topology is used for purposes such as:
● Check the topology (wiring) of SINAMICS on the machine
● Monitor module/component properties
● Change module/component properties
● Change DO numbers and DO names
● Assign SINAMICS modules DO variables.
SINAMICS modules or components are, for example, Sensor and Motor Modules.
User-specified topology
Instead of using the automatic configuration, a SINAMICS Offline (reference) Topology
package (SOT) can be specified. This variant of the device commissioning supports a step-by-
step production, because modules/components and data that do not physically exist can be
configured in the control.
During series production of modular machines, generally a special version of the axis-drive
assignment is specified for each machine variant to be manufactured.
The objective is to split the axis-drive assignment into several modular objects in order to
handle their parameterization flexibly, irrespective of the physical design and wiring of the
machine. The functional interaction of the individual axis/drive configurations must be ensured
beforehand.
Extended user-specified topology
Topo also contains the "Extended user-specified topology" in addition to the comparison and
user-specified topology.
In addition to the SINAMICS wiring diagram, the "Extended user-specified topology" also
contains NC and DRV data.
The starting basis for the "Extended user-specified topology" is the archive import of a
functioning machine. After changing the topology or NC or DRV data, the result can be loaded
directly to the NC.
The "Extended user-specified topology" can be loaded directly to the control or deployed as
package for Windows or Linux.
