Overview
The SIMOTION SCOUT engineering system provides important
new features in version V4.2 and higher. The focus is on an
improved connection of the SINAMICS S120 drive system, the
completion of the comparison functionality and many usability
improvements.
Improved connection to SINAMICS S120
The most important innovation in the SIMOTION SCOUT
engineering system is the significantly simplified connection to
the SINAMICS S120 drive system. Drives and their components
are integrated automatically to the greatest possible extent.
The connections to the drive objects are simply interconnected,
whereby the required message frame generation is performed
automatically by the engineering system.
Uniform display of lists
The display of all lists in the system has now been simplified and
adapted to the well-known look and feel of Office applications.
The highest possible data security was observed during the
implementation. If there are any operation faults (e.g. faulty copy
and paste), the system restores the data. In this way, even
beginners can become familiar with the engineering software,
intuitively, quickly and safely.
System trace across several motion controllers
The so-called system trace feature is available for analysis or
system optimization. This enables up to 128 signals from
SIMOTION controllers networked via PROFINET to be recorded
synchronously.
Trace for technology objects
With the new TO trace, all events affecting a technology object
can be recorded in real-time and displayed in detail in a
chronological sequence in the engineering system.
New watch tables
The new watch tables provide extended functions and diagnos-
tic options. They allow different variables of the project (also
different devices) to be collected. The watch tables can be
clearly displayed and controlled with current values. Stored
control value tables can also be used to perform comprehensive
test sequences quickly and easily.
Easier to use during programming
Greater clarity is provided in the general programming through
small additions such as the display of the variable type, display
of the current value when there is an online connection and
language-dependent comments which appear when the cursor
is moved over the code ("tooltips").
Rollout tips provide the user with information on faulty entries
or system information that is still missing when working in tables
or entry fields. The system-wide effective automatic completion
of user entries ("Auto-Complete") with automatic correction of
upper/lower case makes the editing process more efficient and
provides an easily readable program code.
