4  Configuration and Project Engineering 
This chapter describes the configuration steps necessary for you to create the 
sample project. You will find helpful project engineering support, in particular if your 
required configuration differs from the supplied application example in terms of 
hardware and component parameterization. 
Requirement 
  Configuration software 
The software components are installed on your development system according 
to Table 2-3. 
  SINAMICS V20 
The parameterization is performed using the built-in BOP (Basic Operator 
Panel). Therefore, on the line side, the drive has already been supplied with 
230 or 400V – depending on the version.  
  SIMATIC S7-1200/1500 
In TIA Portal, you have opened a new software project or a project to be 
expanded/modified. 
Default values 
The below parameterization of the SINAMICS V20 assumes that the device is in 
the as-supplied state or has been reset to factory default. In this state, there is a 
default parameterization that forms the basis for Table 4-1. Parameters that do not 
have to be changed for this application example regarding the default values will 
not be mentioned in the following sections. 
When you add a device, for example a controller, from the hardware catalog to the 
project in TIA Portal, an associated default parameterization will be created. This 
default parameterization will be used as a basis in Table 4-2. Parameters and 
settings that do not have to be changed for this application example regarding the 
default values will not be mentioned in the following sections. 
Both the procedure for parameterizing the SINAMICS V20 and the one for 
configuring the SIMATIC controllers in TIA Portal offer various options. The 
following configuration steps represent one possible solution. Steps or 
procedures deviating from this approach can also lead to the same goal.
