SIMOTION D4x5-2

6.4.7 CX32-2 configuration information
This section contains configuration tips relating to a number of features which are specific to
operating the CX32-2 together with the D4x5-2.
6.4.7.1 CX32-2 power-up
Powerup times
The CX32-2 does not require its own CF card. The firmware and the parameterization are
stored centrally on the SIMOTION D CF card. After a firmware change, the CX32-2 firmware
from the CF card is copied to the CX32-2 at the first power-up and saved there as non-
volatile data.
For this reason, the first power-up with new firmware takes longer than subsequent power-
ups.
Detecting when the CX32-2 powers up in the user program
The user must wait for the CX32-2 to power up before the drive objects can be accessed by
the user program.
One way of checking is to query the status of system variables of the drives on the CX32-2.
● <axis name>.actormonitoring.cyclicinterface = ACTIVE AND
● <axis name>.sensordata[1].state = VALID
This procedure can also be used to establish when the SINAMICS Integrated drives power
up.
6.4.7.2 Interconnecting the infeed "Operation" signal on the CX32-2
Requirement
● Drive line-up with SIMOTION D4x5-2 control unit and line module with DRIVE-CLiQ
interface
● One or more CX32-2 controller extensions without a line module of their own (i.e. the
motor modules of the D4x5-2 and the CX32-2 modules are supplied by the same DC link)
In this example, the line module must to be connected to the SIMOTION D4x5-2 (not to the
CX32-2).
