Integration of SIMOCODE pro V PN in SIMATIC STEP 7 V5 via OM 
SIMOCODE pro 
Integration of SIMOCODE pro V PN in SIMATIC STEP 7 V5 via OM SIMOCODE pro  
In addition to integration via GSD, with SIMATIC S7 controllers from Siemens it is possible to 
integrate SIMOCODE pro V PN in STEP 7 V5 using the "Object Manager (OM) 
SIMOCODE pro V PN" software in STEP 7 as part of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA). 
The advantage is that the SIMOCODE ES parameterization software can be called directly 
from STEP 7 HW Config and can be used for developing SIMOCODE pro V PN device 
parameters. 
The SIMOCODE pro device parameters are stored in the STEP 7 project. After transmission 
of the hardware configuration, the device parameters are available in the form of start-up 
parameter data records in the CPU and are automatically transmitted during start-up. 
The necessary OM SIMOCODE pro V PN software is part of SIMOCODE ES. During 
installation of SIMOCODE ES, select the "Integration in STEP 7" installation option to use 
the described function.  
When the hardware is being configured, SIMOCODE pro V PN is integrated by selecting 
SIMOCODE pro in the hardware catalog from STEP 7 HW Config under  
"PROFINET IO → Switching Devices → Motor Management System". 
Insert the SIMOCODE pro V PN into the PROFINET IO system. 
Select one of the three possible basic types (see Integration of SIMOCODE pro into the 
automation system (PLC) (Page 48), figures "Cyclic data to SIMOCODE pro" and "Cyclic 
data from SIMOCODE pro"). 
 
Note 
Changing the slot 
It
 is only possible to change the slot by selecting another SIMOCODE type! 
When using SIMOCODE pro V PN in conjunction with the fail-safe DM-F PROFIsafe digital 
module, select the relevant configuration with PROFIsafe.
