Overview
The user-friendly STARTER commissioning tool can be used for:
• Commissioning
• Optimization
• Diagnostics
This software can be operated either as a standalone PC
application, integrated in SIMATIC STEP 7 with TIA compatibility
via Drive ES Basic, or it can be integrated into the SCOUT
engineering system (for SIMOTION). The basic functions and
handling are the same in both cases.
In STARTER, MICROMASTER 4 devices are also supported in
addition to the SINAMICS drives.
The project wizards can be used to create the drives within the
structure of the project tree.
Beginners are supported by solution-based dialog guidance,
whereby a standard graphics-based display maximizes clarity
when setting the drive parameters.
First commissioning is guided by a wizard which makes all the
basic settings in the drive. Therefore, getting a motor up and run-
ning is merely a question of setting a few of the drive parameters
as part of the drive configuration process.
The individual settings required are made using graphics-based
parameterization screens, which also precisely visualize the
principle of operation of the drive.
Examples of individual settings that can be made include:
•
How terminals are used
•
Bus interface
•
Setpoint channel (e.g., fixed setpoints)
•
Closed-loop speed control (e.g., ramp-function generator,
limits)
•
BICO interconnections
• Diagnostics
For experts, the expert list can be used to specifically and
quickly access individual parameters at any time. An individual
compilation of frequently used parameters can be saved in
dedicated user lists and watch tables.
In addition, the following functions are available for optimization
purposes:
•
Self-optimization of the controller settings (depending on drive
unit)
• Trace
(depending on the drive unit, this is not supported for
- MICROMASTER 4
- SINAMICS G110
- SINAMICS G120 < FW V4.4
- SINAMICS G110D
- SINAMICS G120D)
Diagnostics functions provide information about:
•
Control/status words
•
Parameter status
•
Operating conditions
•
Communication states
Performance features
•
User-friendly: only a small number of settings need to be
made for successful first commissioning: the motor starts
to rotate
•
Solution-oriented dialog-based user guidance simplifies
commissioning
•
Self-optimization functions reduce manual effort for
optimization
■
Selection and ordering data
