10.1.5 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 box: Interface
Radio button: ”Route through S7–CPU”
Button: ”Set PG/PC interface...”
Dialog box: Setting the PG/PC interface
Tab card: Access path
Access point of the application:
S7ONLINE STEP7 ––> SOFTMC
Interface parameter assignment used:
SOFTMC
If ”SINUMERIK MCI board (MPI)” cannot be selected for the interface parame-
terization, the interface has to be installed first.
Button: ”Select...”
Dialog box: Install/remove interface
Selection: SOFTMC
Button: ”Install––>”
Close
OK
Finally, the routing information must be set in the interface dialog of SimoCom U.
