Configuring
7.3 Configuration procedure
SINAMICS Integrated is only created if Startdrive is installed. Both devices have already
been joined in a network over the PROFIdrive Integrated_d subnet.
The respective instance numbers (a, b, c, d) are assigned by STEP 7 depending on the
objects already present in the project.
Figure 7-2 SIMATIC Drive Controller network view
CPU (e.g. PLC_1) and integrated drive control (e.g. Integrated_1) are modeled as separate
devices. You can also move the devices as required to other groups and delete the "Drive
Controller" group. You can also add other devices to the "Drive Controller" group, for
example a CU320-2 PN, if you require more than six servo drives.
Note
Adding SIMATIC Drive Controller directly to group
You can add the SIMATIC Drive Controller directly to a group folder in the project tree even if
the group folder is a subfolder:
1. Select the required group.
2. Go to the menu bar or shortcut menu and select "Add" > "Device".
