4.5 Drive configuration for SIMODRIVE 611U
Procedure
The SimoCom U commissioning tool is used for commissioning the SIMODRIVE 611U. This
SimoCom U commissioning tool is intuitive for the most part. You are guided through the
individual steps.
The connection to the drive can either be made via a serial interface or PROFIBUS DP.
First, the drive configuration prompting is used to configure the hardware (associated power
section, motors, encoders, etc.), the PROFIBUS interfaces, etc.
● Once you have started SimoCom U, you will be prompted in the first window where you
want to change the data for the drive.
Establish a connection (serial, PROFIBUS DP) between SimoCom U and the drive and
select "Find online drives...". This has the advantage that you do not need to enter the
data for the closed-loop control card and the PROFIBUS module. This data is read out
and displayed by SimoCom U.
Note
To allow you to operate the SIMODRIVE 611U PROFIDrive-conform, the following
parameters have been added or extended with the software version from 06.02.2003:
• P1012.2 → must be set
