Creation options
The CPU and SINAMICS Integrated are by default created in a shared group folder in the
project tree.
To change this behavior, activate or deactivate the relevant options for the SIMATIC Drive
Controller under "Settings" -> "Hardware configuration" -> "Device-specific settings".
Figure 7-3 Creation options for creating a SIMATIC Drive Controller
The table below sets out the benefits of configuration with or without grouping.

If you want to create the SIMATIC Drive Controller without the integrated drive, deselect the
"Including SINAMICS Integrated" option.
Deselecting this option can, for example, be useful in the following cases:
● You are copying a previously configured SINAMICS Integrated drive control from another
project.
● The project is to be processed by another user without SINAMICS Startdrive.
● SINAMICS Integrated is not to be configured until later.
● SINAMICS Integrated is not being used, for example, because another drive system is
being used.

Guide to grouping
Actions apply to all devices in a group, for
example
– Go online
– Load to/from device
– Copy
You can add additional devices to the group
as required, for example
– with CU320-2
– with I/O system
7.3 Configuration procedure
Without grouping or user-specific grouping
Greater flexibility in project structure in the

project tree, for example
– by machine/plant modules
– by CPUs and drives, in separate groups
