Configuration - Drive

In the "Drive" configuration window, configure which drive type and which drive you want to
use.
Drive type
In the drop-down list, select whether you want to deploy a PROFIdrive drive or a drive with
an analog drive connection.
PROFIdrive drives are connected to the controller by means of a digital communication
system (PROFINET or PROFIBUS). The communication occurs via PROFIdrive frames.
Drives with an analog drive connection receive the setpoint speed via an analog output
signal (e.g. from -10 V to +10 V) from the PLC.
Drive (drive type: PROFIdrive)
In the "Drive" field, select an already configured PROFIdrive drive / slot. If a PROFIdrive
drive was selected, then it can be configured using the "Device configuration" button.
Switch to the device configuration, and add a PROFIdrive drive in the network view, in the
event that no PROFIdrive drive can be selected.
