Introduction

Commissioning of PLC-controlled drives
The following tools support the commissioning of PLC-controlled drives:
● SINUMERIK Operate:
– Guided commissioning (Page 113) with the drive wizard for drive objects.
– Manual commissioning (Page 143) performed by experienced commissioning
● Access to the parameters of all drive objects in the "Commissioning" → "Machine data"
operating area.
● Support for the series commissioning of the PLC-controlled drives, because the parameters
are contained in the commissioning archive.
● Topology views, including a list of all drive units of this type that have been found.
● Diagnostics (Page 177) with alarms from those PLC drives whose time stamp is
synchronized with the system.
Note
PLC axes with special functions
Guided commissioning, e.g. for vector control, is not provided by the wizard in SINUMERIK
Operate. To do this, the STARTER commissioning software appropriate for the version can be
used.
PLC axes can only be used with the "basic positioning" (EPOS) function module if
commissioning takes place via STARTER.
