3.4 Configuring the drive components
3.4.1 Overview
Basic procedure
You configure the drive components in S7T Config.
You open S7T Config by double-clicking the "SINAMICS_S120...\Commissioning"
entry in the SINAMICS_S120... folder in the SIMATIC Manager.
Configuration
The drive components can be configured in two ways:
● Automatic configuration:
S7T Config will automatically detect the topology of the drive system and the components
of the drive system, provided they are equipped with a DRIVE-CLiQ interface.
● Manual configuration:
This requires that the structure of the drive system is created manually and the present
modules selected manually from the configuration lists.
Components not equipped with a DRIVE-CLiQ interface can only be configured manually or,
if necessary, must be set up manually after an automatic configuring.
The two configuring types for the drive components are introduced in the following sections.
3.4.2 Automatic configuring
Introduction
The automatic configuring can only be performed in online mode of S7T Config.
The existing components of the drive system are entered automatically into the configuration
via the DRIVE-CLiQ connection.
Note
If necessary, components that cannot be selected in the configuration lists with
manual configuration can be detected by S7T Config with automatic configuration.
