PROFINET
The use of a Communication Board Ethernet (CBE30) enables SIMOTION D4x5 to
communicate with the following components via PROFINET:
Table 1- 4 Components on the PROFINET
Component Function
Programming device (PG/PC) ... configures, sets parameters, programs, and tests using the
"SIMOTION SCOUT" Engineering System (ES).
SIMATIC HMI device ... is used for operating and monitoring functions. This is not an
essential requirement for the operation of a Control Unit.
Other controls (e.g. SIMOTION
or SIMATIC)
... e.g. higher-level controller (plant controller); modular machine
concepts with multiple controls, distributed across individual
machine modules
Master computer ... communicates with other devices via UDP, TCP/IP.
Distributed I/O systems
SIMATIC ET 200M Modular I/O system for control cabinet installation and high
channel densities.
SIMATIC ET 200S Finely scalable I/O system for control cabinet installation and
particularly time-critical applications; including motor starters,
safety technology and individual grouping of load groups.
SIMATIC ET 200pro Modular I/O system with IP65/67 rating for machine-related
applications with no control cabinet; with features such as compact
designs, integrated PROFIsafe safety technology, PROFINET
connection and live module replacement.
SIMATIC ET 200eco PN Compact block I/O with IP65/66/67 degree of protection for
cabinet-free usage in machines with M12 connection method. Very
rugged and resistant encapsulated metal enclosure.
Other PROFINET I/O
Drive units with PROFINET
interface
... convert speed setpoints into signals for controlling the motor
and supply the power required to operate the motors.
Gateways
• IE/AS-Interface link PN IO for the PROFINET IO gateway to
AS-Interface
• PN/PN coupler for connecting two PROFINET IO networks
DRIVE-CLiQ
The DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces permit a fast connection to the SINAMICS drive components.
DRIVE-CLiQ offers the following advantages within the DRIVE-CLiQ topology rules:
● Expandability of components
● Automatic detection of components by the control unit
● Standardized interfaces to all components
● Uniform diagnostics down to the components
● Complete service down to the components
● Simple mechanical handling
The controller can communicate with the following components via DRIVE-CLiQ:
