(GSD/GSDML)
The following functionalities are available with the GSD/GSDML
configuration in the TIA Portal:
• Control
- SIMATIC technology objects and blocks for controlling the
drives are already integrated
- Synchronization of SIMATIC technology objects and the
SINAMICS drives
- Support of application-specific drive control through user-
defined PLC data types (UDTs)
•
Safety Control
- Fail-safe control through an intuitive block
- Support of customer-specific, fail-safe control through user-
defined fail-safe PLC data types (F-UDTs)
•
Message classes are available throughout the system without
engineering effort (SIMATIC PLC Web server, HMI, S7
controller, TIA Portal)
•
Parameters downloaded in above data block (block is
generated in STARTER)
•
Routing across network boundaries for remote maintenance
•
Generating a device-specific GSDML file by means of a
STARTER-integrated script

SINAMICS Startdrive
In future, SINAMICS Startdrive will be a tool integrated into the
TIA Portal for configuring, commissioning, and diagnosing the
entire SINAMICS drive family. The SINAMICS Startdrive commis-
sioning tool has been optimized for user friendliness and consis-
tent use of the advantages of a common working environment for
PLC, HMI and drives provided by the TIA Portal.
