PROFINET 
The use of a Communication Board Ethernet (CBE30) enables SIMOTION D4x5 to 
communicate with the following components via PROFINET: 
Table 1-5  Components on the PROFINET 
Component  Function 
Programming device (PG/PC)  ... communicates with the "SIMOTION SCOUT", STEP 7, and HMI 
(Human Machine Interface) engineering systems (ES). 
Master computer  ... communicates with other devices via UDP, TCP/IP. 
SIMATIC HMI device  ... is used for operator control and monitoring functions. This is not 
an essential requirement for the operation of a SIMOTION D4x5. 
SIMATIC ET 200S  Finely modular I/O system for control cabinet installation including 
motor starters, safety technology, and individual grouping of the 
load groups. 
SIMATIC ET 200pro  Modular I/O system with IP65/66/67 degree of protection for 
cabinet-free use close to the machine; with new features such as 
smaller frame size, integrated PROFIsafe safety technology, 
PROFINET connection, and hot swapping of modules. 
Drive units with PROFINET 
interface 
... convert speed setpoints into signals for controlling the motor 
and supply the power required to operate the motors. 
Other controllers (e.g. 
SIMOTION or SIMATIC) 
 
Gateways 
•  IE/AS-Interface link PN IO for the PROFINET IO gateway to 
AS-Interface 
•  PN/PN coupler for connecting two PROFINET IO networks 
•  IE/PB link PN IO for the PROFINET IO gateway to 
PROFIBUS DP 
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:  
•  Independent expansion of components possible 
•  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
