● Create drive
From
the assignment dialog box, a new drive can be created on an existing drive unit (e.g.
SINAMICS Integrated) and assigned to the axis. This allows the axis, including the drive,
to be created in one operation. It is not necessary to configure a drive before creating an
axis.
● Set up addresses
The addresses must be set up manually if "Use symbolic assignment" has been
deactivated. This corresponds to the previous method of configuring the drive and axis,
which was available in SCOUT versions < V4.2.
This method is necessary e.g. for drive units which do not support symbolic assignment
(such as SINAMICS S120 with FW version < 2.6.2, MASTERDRIVES, SIMODRIVE, etc.)
The address list in the "All Addresses" view provides an overview of the assignments to all
interfaces of the TO axis. From this view, the assignments can also be changed via the
Interconnection dialog box (
button).
Note
The methods of the drive and axis configuration, previously available in SCOUT versions
< V4.2, are still available. Symbolic assignment must be deactivated for these methods.
