SIMOTION SCOUT Engineering Software
■
Overview
SCOUT is the engineering software for SIMOTION that is inte-
grated in STEP 7. SCOUT contains all the tools required for con-
figuration, parameterization, programming, testing, diagnostics
and commissioning of SIMOTION and SINAMICS.
Structured Text
The high-level language ST (Structured Text) provides all lan-
guage elements as text commands. This allows well-structured
applications to be created.
Crane-specific operations, such as operating mode assignment
and management, message frame processing, etc. have been
programmed in ST as function blocks and are stored in the
"Crane FB Library".
