Apart from the symbolic assignment, no further configuration is required for the communication.
As addresses no longer have to be configured, the connection is retained even with address
offsets.
Note
During the configuration of drive objects (DO drive, DO encoder, ...) as well as in the Telegram
Configuration dialog box (see Section Telegram configuration (Page 195)), you can deactivate
the automatic telegram configuration and the automatic telegram adaptation.
A deactivation should only be performed in justified exceptional cases because many of the
above mentioned benefits are lost.
The symbolic assignment enables an independent configuration of the axes on the SIMOTION
side and the drives on the SINAMICS side. This allows the following:
● The
PLC and motion control functions can be completely configured by a programmer even
without drive know-how using technology objects (e.g. TO axis) and loaded to the device.
● The drives can be separately configured and optimized by a drive expert.
● The technology objects can be symbolically assigned later to the drive objects via an
interconnection dialog box.
Note
The previous methods of drive, axis and I/O configuration are still available. Symbolic
assignment must be deactivated for these methods.
For newly created projects, the symbolic assignment is used by default.
If projects < V4.2 are upgraded, the symbolic assignment is deactivated by default and must
be activated when required.
Symbolic assignment can be activated or deactivated in SIMOTION SCOUT via the menu
"Project" > "Use symbolic assignment."
Activating symbolic assignment later
Symbolic assignment is recommended and is automatically activated.
