4.4 Setting up a STEP 7 project
Connecting the SIMODRIVE 611U to the Technology CPU
24 Product Information, 03/2008, A5E00272066-05
The hardware configuration thus does not contain any technology system data. The
creation of this data will be activated separately in the hardware configuration. To do this,
double-click Index 3 (Technology) in the mounting channels of the SIMATIC 300 station
and switch to the "Technology system data" tab. Activate Generate technology system
data, save and compile the configuration, and reload it into the CPU.
Figure 4-12 Activate generate technology system data
Note
It is also possible to download the technology system data with the hardware
configuration in a single step in order to avoid the need for the second download. The
described procedure has the advantage that the download of the technology system data
uses the higher transmission speed of the communication connection and thus takes less
time.
If the load process has completed successfully, only the green and the yellow LEDs
illuminate. The red BF 3 LED (the mode selector switch is at the STOP position). The bus
error occurs if the PROFIBUS address configured in HW Config or the selected message
frame type have not yet been set in the SIMODRIVE 611U.
If communication between the two devices is to be checked at this point, then the basic
functions of the SIMODRIVE 611U must have been commissioned as specified in the
"Create STEP 7 Project" section.
If the settings in the CPU 317T-2 DP and the SIMODRIVE 611U match, the BF 3 error
does not occur and the LED on the PROFIBUS module of the SIMODRIVE 611U is
green.
Result
This completes the hardware configuration of the station and the window can be closed.
