What is Topo?
The Topo software is used in Create MyConfig to configure, display, print, and compare
SINAMICS topologies.
Comparison topology
An image of the SINAMICS topology can be used, for example, to check the topology (wiring)
of the SINAMICS on the machine, to monitor module/component properties, to change the
module/component names, to change DO numbers and DO names and to assign DO variables
to the SINAMICS modules. SINAMICS modules or components are, for example, sensor and
motor modules.
User-specified topology
In addition, it is also possible instead of the use of the automatic configuration to specify a
SINAMICS Offline (reference) Topology package (SOT). This variant of the device
commissioning supports a step-by-step production, because modules/components and data
can be introduced into the controller that physically do not exist.
During series production of modular machines, generally a special version of the axis-drive
assignment is specified for each machine variant to be manufactured. The objective is to split
the axis-drive assignment into several modular objects to be able to handle their
parameterization flexibly, irrespective of the physical design and wiring of the machine. The
functional interaction of the individual axis/drive configurations must be ensured beforehand.
Extended user-specified topology
As a new function in Topo - Create MyConfig V4.7 or higher, the extended user-specified
topology is available in addition to the comparison and user-specified topology. In addition to
the SINAMICS wiring diagram, it also contains NC and DRV data.
The starting basis for the extended user-specified topology is the archive import of a functioning
machine. After changing the topology or NC or DRV data, the result can be loaded directly in
NC.
An Expert project with subsequent package is not required.
Functions of Topo
Topo provides the following functions that are necessary for:
● Creation of topologies via a graphical user interface using the context menu and additional
standard Windows tools.
● Import of topologies from SINUMERIK archives, from deployed topologies (ECAD XML files)
● Verification of package for created topologies
