6.5  Additional information on configuring the SINAMICS Integrated 
6.5.1  Settings for DP slave properties 
Settings in HW Config 
Depending on the cycle clock ratios (bus cycle clock, servo cycle clock) and the drives used, 
it may be necessary to change the properties of the DP slave (SINAMICS Integrated) on the 
PROFIBUS Integrated. 
Open HW Config. Double-click the SINAMICS Integrated to display and, if necessary, 
change the properties of the DP slave on the "Isochronous mode" tab. Example: 
●  Synchronizing a drive to the isochronous DP cycle 
SINAMICS Integrated and CX32-2 can only be operated isochronously. For this reason, 
this option cannot be deactivated. 
●  Changing the master application cycle (T
MAPC
) 
The master application cycle must always be the same as the servo cycle clock set 
(setting: "Context menu of the D4x5-2" > "Set system cycle clocks" in the project tree). 
Provided that the DP cycle is not scaled down to the position control cycle clock, the 
master application cycle will always be the same as the DP cycle. 
 
 
Note 
As of V4.3, a reduction ratio for the DP cycle to the Servo cycle clock is possible. The 
reduction ratio is only permitted when PROFINET IO with IRT has not been configured. 
 
●  Changing the DP cycle (T
DP
) 
Depending on the requirements in terms of the quantity structures and the response 
times, the DP cycle may need to be changed (see also 
SIMOTION SCOUT Basic 
Functions
 Function Manual). 
In addition, the minimum DP cycle for vector drives also depends on the speed controller 
clock cycle, which in turn depends on the drive quantity structure and the device type 
used. This means that, particularly in the case of vector drives, the DP cycle must be 
checked and changed if necessary (see Using vector drives (Page 211)).  
 
 
Note 
After T
DP
 has been changed on the PROFIBUS master, the drive system must be 
switched on (POWER ON). 
●  Changing the T
I
 and T
O
 times 
A change to T
I
/T
O
 is required in the case of vector drives, for example, where the T
I
/T
O
 
time depends on the number of vector drives or, with chassis devices, on the device type 
used.
