Configuring

9.1

Overview

Overview
"Configuring" refers to all steps (configuration, parameter assignment and programming)
required for creating an executable project in the TIA Portal.
You transfer the configuration (preset configuration) and mode of operation of the CPU and
integrated automatic speed control SINAMICS Integrated to the SIMATIC Drive Controller by
configuring, assigning the parameters of and connecting the individual hardware
components. You perform the steps needed for this in the device and network views in the
TIA Portal and in SINAMICS Startdrive (SINAMICS Integrated).
"Configuring" refers to arranging and networking devices and modules within the device or
network view of the TIA Portal. The TIA Portal provides a graphic display of hardware
components. It also shows the module racks, for example, for ET 200SP and ET 200MP I/O
systems, and the drive line-up of SINAMICS Integrated.
During startup, the configured preset configuration is compared with the actual configuration
of the system. Using parameter assignment, you can specify the response of the CPU to errors
in the hardware configuration.
"Parameter assignment" means setting the properties of the components used (CPU,
SINAMICS Integrated, I/O modules, etc.).
The TIA Portal compiles the hardware configuration (result of "configuring" and "parameter
assignment") and loads it to the components.
"Programming" means creating the user programs. The TIA Portal provides high-performance
programming editors for efficient engineering. You can, for example, create programs in
structured control language (SCL), ladder logic (LAD), function block diagram (FBD) or
statement list (STL).
