Drive ES engineering software

Design
Various software packages are available for selection:
•
Drive ES Basic
•
Drive ES SIMATIC
•
Drive ES PCS7
(APL Style or Classic Style)
Drive ES Basic
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
routing and teleservice to drives. Drive ES Basic provides the
engineering tools for the new motion control functions, slave-
to-slave communication, equidistant mode and clock cycle
synchronization with PROFIBUS DP and ensures that drives with
PROFINET IO are simply integrated into the SIMATIC environ-
ment.
Note:
For SINAMICS and MICROMASTER 4 drives, this TIA functional-
ity is also provided with the STARTER commissioning tool (V4.3.2
and above).
Drive ES SIMATIC
Drive ES SIMATIC is used for simple parameterization of STEP 7
communication and eliminates time-consuming programming.
It requires STEP 7 to be installed. It includes a SIMATIC block
library and therefore allows the PROFIBUS and/or PROFINET-IO
interface to be simply and reliably programmed in the
SIMATIC CPU for the drives.
There is no need for separate, time-consuming programming of
the data exchange between the SIMATIC CPU and the drive.
For Drive ES users, it is as simple as this:
Copy – Adapt – Load – Ready.
Harmonized, proven function blocks are transferred from the
library into your project.
Frequently used functions are fully programmed:
•
Read out complete diagnostics buffer automatically from
the drive
•
Download complete parameter set automatically from the
SIMATIC CPU to the drive, e.g. when a device has to be
replaced
•
Automatically download partial parameter sets (e.g. for recipe
or product change) from the SIMATIC CPU to the drive
•
Upload the complete parameter assignment or partial
parameter sets from the drive to the SIMATIC CPU, i.e. update.
Detailed contents of the Drive ES SIMATIC package
•
"PROFIBUS DP" communications software
for
SIMATIC S7-300 with CPUs with integrated DP interface
(DRVDPS7, POSMO function block libraries), SIMATIC S7-400
with CPUs with integrated DP interface or with CP 443-5
(DRVDPS7, POSMO function block libraries) and
SIMATIC S7-300 with CP 342-5 (DRVDPS7C function block
library)
•
"USS protocol" communications software
for
SIMATIC S7-300 with integral PtP interfaces or with
CP 340/341 and SIMATIC S7-400 with CP 441 (DRVUSSS7
function block library)
•
STEP 7 slave object manager
for convenient configuration of
drives and for non-cyclic PROFIBUS DP communication with
the drives
•
STEP 7 device object manager
for easy configuration of
drives with PROFINET IO interfaces (V5.4 and higher)
•
SETUP program
for installing the software in the STEP 7
environment
•
"PROFINET
IO"
communications software for
SIMATIC S7-300 with CPUs with integrated PN interface,
SIMATIC S7-400 with CPUs with Integrated PN interface or
with CP (DRVDPS7 function block library, respectively).
PROFINET IO and PROFIBUS DP use the same blocks from
the DRVDPS7 library, i.e. the blocks are able to serve both
buses with a common block (only for V5.4 and higher)
Drive ES PCS7 (APL Style or Classic Style)
Drive ES PCS7 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 or higher has first been installed. Drive
ES PCS7 provides a function 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 PCS7
process control system. From version V6.1 and higher, drives will
also be able to be represented in the PCS7 Maintenance Station.
In Drive ES PCS7 version 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.
