6.1  Overview of commissioning 
Requirements 
The following requirements must be fulfilled in order to commission the SIMOTION D:   
●  The system has been connected and wired. 
●  The SIMOTION D has been switched on and powered up (STOP mode). 
●  SIMOTION SCOUT (with integrated STARTER) has been installed and powered up on 
the PG/PC. 
●  The communication and networks have been configured. 
●  You have created a project and inserted a SIMOTION D in the project. 
 
 
Note 
The order numbers (MLFB) of the SINAMICS S120 components must be available. 
You need these order numbers when setting up a SIMOTION project to verify that the 
components selected from the hardware catalog in the HW Config application correspond 
to the ones used in the system. 
6.1.1  Symbolic assignment / adaptation 
Symbolic assignment 
As of V4.2, SIMOTION supports the symbolic assignment on SINAMICS drive objects (DOs) 
during the configuration of technology objects (TO) and I/Os. 
This simplifies the configuration of the technological relationships including the 
communication between controller and drive. 
With the symbolic assignment: 
●  Only suitable assignment partners are offered in an assignment dialog box. 
●  Communication between axis and drive is set up automatically by the engineering system 
and the required PROFIdrive axis message frames as well as the used addresses set up. 
●  Message frames are extended and interconnections created automatically in the drive 
depending on the selected TO technology (e.g. SINAMICS Safety Integrated).
