Introduction - Siemens SIMATIC S7 300 Getting Started

Introduction

This Getting Started is a valuable help in getting started with the basic functions of a CPU
317T-3PN/DP, based on a practical example that takes you through thirteen steps in
commissioning a fully functional application in which you execute a traverse motion.
It can take you between two and three hours to work through the example, depending on
your degree of experience.
Requirement
Note
This Getting Started presumes that you have connected a SINAMICS S120 drive to the
DP(DRIVE) interface of the CPU 317T-3PN/DP. You can also connect a different drive, the
theoretical procedure remains the same.
If you use a different drive type, an additional software program can be required for the
configuration and commissioning of the drive: For example, for SIMODRIVE 611U you
additionally require the software SimoComU. Always take the associated technical
information of the drive into account.
If a drive is not available, we recommend that you work with a virtual axis as described in
chapter "Special case - controlling a virtual axis (Page 71)".
Validity
The manual is valid for the following components:
● CPU 317T-3PN/DP as of V3.2.9/4.1.5
● SINAMICS S120 as of V4.4
● S7 Technology as of V4.2 SP3

Getting Started, 10/2013, A5E00480391-06
Note
You can also use the CPU 317T-3PN/DP instead of the CPU 315T-3PN/DP. To do this,
select CPU 315T-3PN/DP in HW Config. Otherwise, the configuring steps are the same.
