Performing an online configuration for the D4x5-2

7.3.1

Overview

Introduction
You can configure the plant in online mode after having completed its wiring. You can load the
data of SINAMICS components connected via DRIVE‑CLiQ to your PG/PC using the
"Automatic configuration" function. However, this is only possible for initial commissioning.
Note
Components without DRIVE-CLiQ connection must be edited in offline mode. You may need
to edit DRIVE-CLiQ components which were detected in the course of automatic configuration
(for example, adding encoder data if using SMC modules).

● You have created a project in SIMOTION SCOUT and inserted a SIMOTION D4x5‑2 in the
project
