Controller and drive unit 
 
With the Startdrive integrated in the TIA Portal you can easily configure a drive unit with a 
higher-level controller. We will briefly show you the configuration process using a SIMATIC 
S7-1500 and a SINAMICS G120 with CU240E-2 PN as an example. For this the drive and 
controller are connected and configured via PROFINET.
