9.1.5 Setting the MPI interface
The MPI interface through which SimoCom U accesses the drives connected to
PROFIBUS by means of routing, must be parameterized as follows:
– Access point of application
S7ONLINE STEP7 ––> SINUMERIK MCI board (MPI)
– Interface parameterization
SINUMERIK MCI board (MPI).
The MPI interface can be parameterized direct from SimoCom U. To do so, pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Start SimoCom U from the WINDOWS NT taskbar:
Start > Programs > SimoComU > SimoComU
2. In SimoCom U, open the interface dialog using the menu command:
Tools > Communication.
Dialog: Interface
Option field: “Route through S7 CPU”
Button: “Set PG/PC Interface...”
Dialog: Setting the PG/PC Interface
Register: Access Path
Access point of application:
S7ONLINE STEP7 ––> SINUMERIK MCI board (MPI)
Interface parameter set used:
SINUMERIK MCI board (MPI).
If “SINUMERIK MCI board (MPI)” cannot be selected for the interface parame-
terization, the interface has to be installed first.
Button: “Install...”
Dialog: Install / Remove Interface
Selection: SINUMERIK MCI Board (MPI)
Button: “Install––>“
Close
OK.
Finally, the routing information must be set in the interface dialog of Simo-
Com U.
