Figure 6-40 Assigning a drive
The following setting options are available for the drive assignment:
– Assign drive
Assigning a previously configured drive.
– Define a subsequent assignment
The axis should not be assigned to a drive until a later point in time.
In this way, the PLC and motion control functions can be completely configured by a
programmer even without drive know-how using technology objects (e.g. TO axis) and
loaded to the device, the drives can be configured and optimized separately by a drive
expert, and the technology objects can be assigned symbolically later to the drive
objects via an interconnection dialog box.
– Create drive
From the assignment dialog box, a new drive can be created on an existing drive unit
(e.g. S120 CU320-2 or SINAMICS Integrated) and assigned to the axis. This allows
the axis, including the drive, to be created in one operation. It is not necessary to
configure a drive before creating an axis.
