6.5 Additional information on configuring the SINAMICS Integrated
SIMOTION D4x5-2
222 Commissioning and Hardware Installation Manual, 02/2012
For acyclic data exchange with SINAMICS drives, this means you will have to coordinate the
write/read jobs with each other (buffer management). An interlock must be set to prevent the
application or different parts of the application from sending overlapping jobs to the same
PROFIdrive drive unit.

Additional information on how to use DP V1 services can be found in the

System Manual.
SIMOTION Utilities & Applications
also has a DP V1 library with functions that are capable of
performing coordination tasks commonly associated with acyclic communication. The library
not only coordinates access to the system functions
(_readRecord/_writeRecord/_readDriveParameter/_writeDriveParameter/, etc.), but also
expands the range of functions for frequently required tasks, e.g. the reading of faults and
alarms from the drive unit.
SIMOTION Utilities & Applications
is part of the scope of delivery of SIMOTION SCOUT.
The following functions are available in the DP V1 library:
● Buffer management (coordination of a number of parallel DP V1 services)
● StartUp (function for coordinating the power-up of the SINAMICS drive with SIMOTION)
● TimeSync (applicative time synchronization: Transfer of SIMOTION time of day to the
SINAMICS drives)
● SetActIn (activating/deactivating objects in SIMOTION and SINAMICS)
● RwnPar (reading and writing of drive parameters)
● GetFault (reading errors and warnings from the drive)
