8.6.1 General commissioning requirements
Hardware
The following hardware is required:
● PROFIBUS connecting cable
No terminating resistor is integrated in the machine control panel.
Software
The following software is required:
● PLC basic program
The relevant modules of the basic PLC program are FB 1 (MCP communication
parameters), FC 19 (interface parameter assignment version: milling) and FC 25
(interface parameter assignment, version: turning).
The library of the basic PLC program is a part of the SINUMERIK 840Di sl. The
installation of the library is described in detail in the Section
"Create PLC
Program" (Page
177).
● SIMATIC STEP 7
SIMATIC STEP 7 is needed to customize the PLC basic and user programs to the
requirements of the respective automation system. SIMATIC STEP 7 can be installed
directly on the PCU of the SINUMERIK 840Di sl. The installation of additional software is
described in the Chapter
"SW Installation/Update and Data Backup" (Page 551).
● DP slave MCP 310
The MCP 310 DP slave is an integral part of the PLC toolbox. When the PLC Toolbox is
installed, it is automatically installed in SIMATIC STEP 7.
