Subsequently configuring a CPU
Requirements: STEP 7 Professional and SINAMICS Startdrive are installed.
Proceed as follows if your project only contains a SINAMICS Integrated of a SIMATIC Drive
Controller and you want to configure the missing CPU.
1. To ensure that only the CPU (without SINAMICS Integrated) is created, deselect the
"Including SINAMICS Integrated" option under "Settings" > "Hardware configuration" >
"Device-specific settings". Also deselect the "With Drive Controller group folder" option if
you do not want a group folder to be created. Alternatively, you will need to delete the
components you do not require.
2. Select "Add new device" in the project tree.
3. In the "Add new device" dialog, select the relevant device version under "Controller" >
"SIMATIC Drive Controller" and the firmware version of the device under "Version".
4. Click OK to confirm.
Result: The CPU has been added to the project tree and can be connected to the SINAMICS
Integrated .
Replacing devices in STEP 7
The following section explains how to replace a SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU with a SIMATIC
Drive Controller in an existing project or vice versa.
1. Select the device to be replaced in the project tree and right-click to open the shortcut
menu.
2. Select the "Replace device..." option
3. Select the module you want to use in the right-hand column. The "Compatibility
information" section indicates whether the devices to be replaced are compatible and
whether or not and, if so, which configurations will be lost in the process.
4. Click "OK" to confirm.
When replacing devices, remember that the SIMATIC Drive Controller consists of two
networked devices – a CPU and a SINAMICS Integrated.
Replacing a modular SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU with a SIMATIC Drive Controller (CPU)
If you replace a modular SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU with a SIMATIC Drive Controller, the
configurations at the integrated PROFINET interfaces and at the integrated PROFIBUS
interface are retained. In other words, the interfaces are mapped to an interface of the same
type.
Configurations of the onboard I/O of S7-1500 compact CPUs are not applied. Please also
note the compatibility information in the device replacement dialog.
The centralized I/O in the S7-1500 automation system is moved to the "unplugged modules"
area. If required, copy the I/O to a distributed I/O ET 200MP system before device
replacement.
A connected SINAMICS S120 CU320-2 remains connected – it is not swapped out for a
SINAMICS Integrated. If you require a SINAMICS Integrated, you need to create it manually.
