Overview
Drive ES is the engineering system used to integrate Siemens
drive technology into the SIMATIC automation world easily,
efficiently and cost-effectively in terms of communication,
configuration and data management.
It is based on the operator interface of the STEP 7 Manager,
the essential element when it comes to engineering.
Various software packages are available:
•
Drive ES Basic
•
Drive ES SIMATIC
•
Drive ES PCS 7

Drive ES Basic
Drive ES Basic is for first-time users of the world of Totally
Integrated Automation and the basic software for setting the
parameters of all drives online and offline in this environment.
Drive ES Basic enables both the automation system and the
drives to be handled using the SIMATIC Manager user interface.
Drive ES Basic is the starting point for common data archiving
for complete projects and for extending the use of the SIMATIC
routing and teleservice to drives. Drive ES Basic provides the
engineering tools for the new Motion Control functions, slave-to-
slave communication, equidistant mode and clock cycle syn-
chronization with PROFIBUS DP and ensures that drives with
PROFINET IO are simply integrated into the SIMATIC environ-
ment.
Drive ES SIMATIC
Drive ES SIMATIC is used for simple parameterization of STEP 7
communication instead of time-consuming programming. It
requires STEP 7 to be installed. It features a SIMATIC function
block library, thereby making the programming of the PROFIBUS
and/or PROFINET IO interface in the SIMATIC CPU for the drives
easy and secure.
There is no need for separate, time-consuming programming of
the data exchange between the SIMATIC CPU and the drive.
All Drive ES users need to remember is:
Copy – Modify – Load – Finished.
Customized, fully-developed function blocks are copied from
the library into user-specific projects.
Frequently used functions are set to run in program format:
•
Read out complete diagnostics buffer automatically from the
drive
•
Download complete parameter sets automatically from the
SIMATIC CPU into the drive, e.g. when a device has to be
replaced
•
Automatically download partial parameter sets (e.g. for recipe
or product change) from the SIMATIC CPU to the drive
•
Upload the complete parameter assignment or partial para-
meter sets from the drive to the SIMATIC CPU, i.e. update.
