Detail comparison with ladder logic (LAD)
Integrated STARTER commissioning tool
The STARTER commissioning tool is directly integrated in
SCOUT. It supports the simple and rapid commissioning,
optimization and diagnostics of all new-generation Siemens
drives with only one tool.
The STARTER tool integrated in SCOUT TIA can be used to
commission SINAMICS S120 drives connected to the
SIMOTION system.
SIMOTION SCOUT stand-alone
If STEP 7 is not installed, the SIMOTION SCOUT stand-alone
software package can be used. It also contains the components
of STEP 7 that are required for SIMOTION SCOUT as well as the
license for SCOUT stand-alone.
It is not possible to operate the SCOUT and SCOUT stand-alone
software packages on the same machine.
SCOUT TIA V4.5 (SIMOTION in the TIA Portal)
Now that the SIMOTION Motion Control System has been
integrated into the Totally Integrated Automation Portal, the
TIA Portal offers the full Motion Control functional scope of
SIMOTION including comprehensive integration of drive
technology.
New, highly efficient, user-friendly mechanisms for configuring
hardware and networks are now also available in the TIA Portal
in a consistent, fully graphical editor, as well as easy connection
to HMI (including the new SIMATIC Comfort Panels and the
Basic Panels of the 2nd generation).
All the automation components are combined in the TIA Portal
project.
With SCOUT TIA V4.5, the SIMOTION C240/C240 PN and
SIMOTION P320-4 Motion Controllers as well as the SIMOTION
D410-2 and D4x5-2 Control Units complete with CX32-2/
CBE30-2 can be configured in the TIA Portal. The runtime
version must be V4.3 or higher.
The "SIMOTION Drives" are also available in the TIA Portal.
These are SINAMICS S120 drives with firmware versions V4.5,
V4.7 and V4.8, which are networked with the SIMOTION CPU on
the basis of PROFINET or PROFIBUS.
Migration of SCOUT project to SCOUT TIA
The "Migration tool" of the TIA Portal and the additional "Migration
tool plug-in" of SCOUT TIA can be used in principle to migrate
an existing SCOUT project in version V4.4 or higher to SCOUT
TIA V4.5 (TIA Portal V14). Both are an integral part of the TIA
Portal installation and the SCOUT TIA installation.
Notes about usage
The following functions of SCOUT and the TIA Portal in particular
are not supported by SIMOTION SCOUT TIA V4.5:
•
DCC SIMOTION/DCC SINAMICS
•
Scripting of HWCN data; which also affects SIMOTION
easyProject (project generator)
•
XML export/import of HWCN data (note: XML export/
import of pure SCOUT/SCOUT TIA data is possible)
•
PROFIBUS: F-Proxy as an I-Slave
