Basic commissioning with STARTER
STARTER and STARTER screen forms
STARTER is a PC-based tool to commission Siemens inverters. The graphic user interface
of STARTER supports you when commissioning your inverter. Most inverter functions are
combined in screen forms in STARTER.
The STARTER screen forms that are shown in this manual show general examples. You
may therefore find that a screen contains more or fewer setting options than are shown in
these instructions. A commissioning step may also be shown using an inverter other than the
one you are using.
Overview: Commission the inverter in the online mode
We recommend that you commission the inverter using STARTER in the online mode.
STARTER offers two options of going online with an inverter:
● Via the USB interface
● Via PROFIBUS or PROFINET
You require the following to commission the inverter using STARTER:
● A pre-installed drive (motor and inverter)
● A computer with Windows XP or Windows 7, on which STARTER V4.3 or higher is
installed.
You can find updates for STARTER in the Internet under: Update or download path for

)
Proceed as follows to carry out the basic commissioning of the inverter online using
STARTER:
1. Adapt the inverter and PC interfaces:
– Go online via USB:Adapting the USB interface (Page 86)
– Go online via PROFINET:
Adapting the PROFINET interface (Page 87)
Configure the communication between inverter and PC: Configuring PROFINET
communication in STEP 7 (Page 432).
2. Create a STARTER project (Page 88).
3. Go online and commission the inverter using the wizards (Page 88).
This means that you have completed the basic commissioning.
