1.2 System components
Central components
SIMOTION D4x5 communicates with automation components via the following interfaces:
• PROFIBUS DP
• Ethernet
• PROFINET (when using a CBE30)
• DRIVE-CLiQ (DRIVE Component Link with IQ)
The most important components of the system and their functions are shown below.
Table 1-2 Central components
Component Function
SIMOTION D4x5 controller ... is the central motion control module.
You can use the integrated rapid digital I/Os as:
• Homing inputs
• Inputs for measuring inputs
• Outputs for output cams
• User-addressable process inputs/outputs
The measuring sockets can output any analog signals.
System software The basic functionality of SIMOTION D is supplied on a Compact Flash
card containing the following:
• SIMOTION Runtime (Kernel and technology packages)
• Drive software of SINAMICS S120 - implements all drive functions
Power supply ... provides the electronic power supply for SIMOTION D, e.g., SITOP
PROFIBUS DP
The control unit can communicate with the following components via the PROFIBUS DP
interfaces:
Table 1-3 Components on PROFIBUS DP
Component Function
Programming device (PG/PC) ... configures, parameterizes, programs, and tests with the
"SIMOTION SCOUT" engineering system (ES)
SIMATIC S7 controllers with
PROFIBUS DP interface
