Integration
Integration of SINAMICS drives with SIMATIC in the
TIA Portal
The software packages based on the TIA Portal are harmonized
with each other and offer important benefits. The TIA Portal
enables simple integration of SINAMICS frequency inverters in
your automation solution:
•
Reduction in the familiarization overhead thanks to cross-tool
uniformity of the operator inputs
•
Device configuration and network connection of the inverters
in the TIA Portal-wide configuration/network editor
•
Device access to the inverters via the PLC across network
boundaries (dataset routing)
•
Automatic frame comparison between inverters and
SIMATIC S7 PLC
•
Reduction of standstill times through the integration of inverter
messages in the SIMATIC S7 system diagnostics:
- The drive messages are part of the SIMATIC S7 system
diagnostics without previous configuration
-
The drive messages are therefore automatically available as
plain text in the TIA Portal, the web server of the
SIMATIC S7 PLC and the HMI
•
Time saving due to simple and guided configuration of the
inverters for operation with SIMATIC S7 Motion Control
•
Short familiarization time for SIMATIC STEP 7 users due to
common use of editors. Realtime trace and the drive control
panel are identical to the editors in STEP 7
•
Reuse of the drive configuration and parameterization is
possible with the assistance of the TIA Portal library
•
Standard TIA Portal functions for inverters, e.g. Undo, Redo
•
Block library supplied for easy integration of SINAMICS
inverters into the user programs of the SIMATIC S7-300,
S7-400, S7-1200, S7-1500
•
Shared project storage for all devices in the project
