Drive ES Basic (phase-out product)
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 software.
Drive ES Basic is the starting point for common data archiving
for complete projects and for extending the use of the SIMATIC
teleservice to drives. Drive ES Basic provides the configuration
tools for the new Motion Control functions – slave-to-slave
communication, equidistance and isochronous operation with
PROFIBUS DP and ensures that drives with PROFINET IO are
simply integrated into the SIMATIC environment.
Note:
For SINAMICS and MICROMASTER 4 drives, this TIA functional-
ity is provided with the STARTER commissioning tool (V4.3.2 and
higher).
Drive ES Basic Maintenance (available soon)
This software product will ensure TIA functionality for the
previous drive systems not supported by STARTER. Drive ES
Basic Maintenance will thus replace the current product
Drive ES Basic.
Drive ES PCS 7 (APL Style or Classic Style)
Drive ES PCS 7 links the drives with a PROFIBUS DP interface
into the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system, and it requires
that SIMATIC PCS 7, V6.1 and higher has first been installed.
Drive ES PCS 7 provides a block library with function blocks for
the drives and the corresponding faceplates for the operator
station, which enables the drives to be operated from the PCS 7
process control system. From V6.1 and higher, drives will also be
able to be represented in the PCS 7 Maintenance Station.
From Drive ES PCS 7 V8.0 and higher, two versions of the library
are available: The APL (Advanced Process Library) variant and
the previous version in the so-called Classic Style.
