Description
1.1

System overview

Overview
In SIMOTION D, the SIMOTION functionality is integrated directly in the closed-loop control
module of the SINAMICS S120 drive system.
SIMOTION D410 is a module drive system for single axes, which solves demanding drive
tasks for a very wide range of industrial applications. SIMOTION D410 supplements D425,
D435 and D445, the three power levels for multi-axis connections.
SIMOTION D is an integral part of the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) concept. TIA
features standardized data management, configuration and communication over all products
and systems. Thus, an extensive toolbox of automation modules is also available for
SIMOTION D410.

Application
Combining a power module with SIMOTION D410 forms a compact single drive for machine
and plant engineering.
Applications include:
● Machine concepts with central drive (e.g., pressing, printing and packaging machines, . .
.)
● Modular machine concepts where the machine modules broken down to single axes
● Single drives with high accuracy, stability and concentricity requirements (compared with
standard drives) in machine and industrial plant engineering
● Single drives for transport tasks (conveying, raising, lowering)
● Single drives with integrated PLC functionality and expanded motion control functionality
such as output cam or cams
● Drives without power recovery (wire drawing, extruding)
● Drive connections with high availability requirements (incoming supply failure may not
cause all axes to fail)

Product variants
SIMOTION D410 comes in two variants:
● SIMOTION D410 DP with PROFIBUS DP interface.
● SIMOTION D410 PN with PROFINET interface.
D410
Commissioning Manual, 08/2008 Edition

Description
1.1 System overview

System integration
SIMOTION provides an optimized system platform for automation and drive solutions where
the main focus is on motion control applications and technology tasks.
The SIMOTION system is made up of three components:
● SIMOTION SCOUT Engineering System
● Runtime Software
● Hardware platforms
The innovative SIMOTION concept involves integrating pure automation and motion
functions, which have been traditionally isolated in the past.

System solution

SIMOTION can be used with all machines with motion control tasks. The focus is on a
simple and flexible solution to a wide variety of motion control tasks. In order to achieve this
in the best way possible, a new system approach has been introduced:
the fusion of motion control with two other control functions, which are found in most
machines: PLC and technology functions.
This approach enables motion control of axes and machines with only one system. The
same applies to technology functions, such as pressure control of a hydraulic axis. A
seamless switch can be made from position-controlled positioning mode to pressure control.

D410
Commissioning Manual, 08/2008 Edition

Description
1.1 System overview
Combining the three control functions of motion control, PLC and technology functions has
the following benefits:
● Lower engineering expenditure and higher machine performance.
● Interfaces between individual components requiring rapid response are no longer
needed.
● Simple, standardized and transparent programming and diagnostics for the complete
machine.

System components

Overview
SIMOTION D410 communicates with the components of the automation landscape via the
following interfaces:
● PROFIBUS DP (SIMOTION D410 DP only)
● PROFINET (SIMOTION D410 PN only)
● DRIVE-CLiQ (DRIVE Component Link with IQ)
● Power Module Interface (PM-IF)
● SIMOTION D features a SINAMICS Integrated drive element. Communication with the
SINAMICS Integrated (node 3) is via PROFIBUS mechanisms (DP integrated).
The most important system components and their functions are listed in the following table.
Table 1-1

System components

Components

Function

SIMOTION D410

... is the central motion control module.
The module contains the programmable SIMOTION Runtime in
SIMOTION D410 and the SINAMICS S120 drive software.
You can use the integrated rapid digital I/Os as:
• Homing inputs
• Inputs for measuring inputs
• User-addressable process inputs/outputs
• Outputs for fast output cams
The measuring sockets can output any analog signals.
The DRIVE-CLiQ interface permits a fast connection to the SINAMICS drive
components.

System software

The system software is delivered separately on a CompactFlash card (not
included in the scope of delivery).
Note: An additional license is not required for the real axis technology.

Power supply (PS)

... provides the electronic power supply for SIMOTION D410 (e.g., SITOP
power supply).
Note: If the SIMOTION D410 is snapped-on to a PM340 power module, the
power module may be used as the sole supply for the SIMOTION D410 in
certain cases (e.g., when digital outputs are not used, etc. . .). See the section
entitled in the SIMOTION D410 Manual.

Description
1.2 System components

Note
Please note that not all modules for the I/O systems listed above are enabled for SIMOTION.
Moreover, system-related functional differences can come into play when these I/O or I/O
systems are used on SIMOTION vs. on SIMATIC. For example, special process-control
functions (e.g., HART modules, etc.) are not supported by SIMOTION for the ET 200M
distributed I/O system.
A list of all I/O modules that can currently be used with SIMOTION is available under the
following link:
http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/11886029
In addition to the I/O modules enabled for SIMOTION, all certified standard slaves can, in
principle, be connected to SIMOTION if they support the following:
● Cyclic data traffic (DP-V0) and, possibly
● Acyclic data traffic (DP-V1) or
● Isochronous data traffic (DP-V2)
These modules are integrated via the GSD file from the device manufacturer.
Note
Please note that in individual cases further boundary conditions must be fulfilled in order to
integrate a standard slave into SIMOTION. For example, "driver modules" in the form of
function blocks are required for some modules, which enable integration or make it
especially easy.
For modules enabled for SIMOTION (e.g., S7-300 module FM 350-1, etc.), these driver
modules are part of the SIMOTION SCOUT Engineering System command library.

Licensing

SIMOTION D410 licensing
SIMOTION D410 is a modular drive system for single-axis applications. D410 contains the
Motion Control technology functions for exactly one real axis (speed-controlled, positioning,
synchronized axis or cam). This means that these technology functions do not require an
additional license. It is not possible to increase the number of axes using licenses. Along
with the one real axis, further virtual axes can be configured and loaded.
Licenses are required for runtime functions such as SIMOTION IT DIAG. These can be preinstalled on a CompactFlash card (CF card) or ordered separately.

Additional references
For more information about license management, see the SIMOTION SCOUT Configuring
Manual. General information about licensing can be found in the Motion Control SIMOTION,
SINAMICS S120 catalog and motors for production machines catalog, PM21 2008.

IP and DP parameters in non-volatile data
The IP and DP parameters are loaded from configuration data on the CompactFlash Card
during startup for use by the SIMOTION device. The SIMOTION D410 can use the
addresses defined in these data to go online. The IP and DP parameters on the
CompactFlash Card are also written to non-volatile memory during startup. The IP and DP
parameters in non-volatile data is retained and used by the SIMOTION device if the system
is restarted with a CompactFlash Card which does not contain any configuration data. The
SIMOTION device can always be made available online if the configuration was downloaded
to the device at least once using SIMOTION SCOUT, or if the SIMOTION device was started
up with Compact Flash Card.

Operator actions and their impact on user memory
The next section describes the user actions identified in the "SIMOTION D410 memory
model" by arrows and their impact on user memory.

Download SIMOTION SCOUT
The "Download" command transfers the following data from the Engineering System to the
"volatile data" area:
● User data (units, configuration data, parameters, task configuration)
● Technology packages
The IP and DP parameters are furthermore saved to the "non-volatile data" area. The retain
variables are initialized with their start values. This however, depends on the settings in
SIMOTION SCOUT. Volatile data is lost if you shut down the SIMOTION D410 module after
the download.

Copy RAM to ROM
The "Copy RAM to ROM" command is used on the ES to save the following data to the
CompactFlash Card:
● Technology packages and user data (units, configuration data, parameters, task
configuration) of the "volatile data" area
● Actual values are copied to the "volatile data" area, depending on the settings in
SIMOTION SCOUT
Note
The "Copy RAM to ROM" command does not save the actual values of the retain
variables to the CompactFlash Card:

D410
Commissioning Manual, 08/2008 Edition

Commissioning (hardware)
2.5 User memory concept

Startup of SIMOTION D410
The SIMOTION kernel is loaded from the CompactFlash Card to the "volatile data" area
during the startup of SIMOTION D410.
Volatile data is lost if you shut down the SIMOTION D410 module after the download. Data
loaded from the CompactFlash Card at the next restart:
● The technology packages and user data to the "volatile data" area
● IP and DP parameters to the "non-volatile data" area

Backup of non-volatile data
The "_savePersistentMemoryData" system function is used to save the contents of nonvolatile data to the CompactFlash Card. This backup prevents the retain variables and the
absolute encoder position from being lost if a component is replaced.
The backup copy is saved to the "PMEMORY.XML" backup file in the "USER/SIMOTION"
folder. On system side it is always ensured that a consistent overall image of the non-volatile
data is available at the next restart, even if there is a power failure during backup. An already
existing backup file is renamed to "PMEMORY.BAK" before a new backup file is generated.
If the backup to this new file fails (for example, due to insufficient storage capacity of the
CompactFlash Card), the existing backup file is used in the next attempt to restore the
content of non-volatile data. The backup file is deleted if the new file was successfully
created.
NOTICE
An absolute encoder overflow after "_savePersistentMemoryData" was executed indicates
that the restored non-volatile data contains an incorrect actual position value. The encoder
must be referenced again (absolute encoder adjustment)!

General information about PROFIBUS DP communication

Definition of PROFIBUS DP
PROFIBUS DP is an international, open field bus standard specified in the European field
bus Standard EN 50170 Part 2. PROFIBUS DP is optimized for high-speed, time-sensitive
data transfer at field level.
Components communicating on PROFIBUS DP are classified as master and slave
components.
● Master (active bus node)
Components representing a bus master determine the data traffic on the bus and are
therefore also referred to as active bus nodes.
● Slaves (passive bus nodes)
These devices may only receive, acknowledge and return messages to the master if
requested by the master.
Examples: SINAMICS drives, I/O modules

Note
If a SIMOTION D410 DP is operated as a passive PROFIBUS I-slave, the display,
measuring functions and controller optimization engineering functions will be very slow. If
possible, use the "active I-slave" setting for local commissioning (which does mean that an
equidistance is no longer possible) and for complete commissioning, switch to "passive Islave".

Additional references
You will find additional information about PROFIBUS DP in the SIMOTION Communication
System Manual.

Assignment of the PROFIBUS addresses in HW Config

Assigning PROFIBUS addresses
Assign a PROFIBUS address to all devices before you start networking these in order to
enable intercommunication.
Note
All PROFIBUS addresses you assign must be unique on the PROFIBUS subnet.
Information pertaining to the rules of communication on the PROFIBUS subnet is available in
the SIMOTION D410 Manual.
Define the PROFIBUS address separately for each device on your programming device / PC
in HW Config. Certain PROFIBUS DP slaves are equipped with an address switch.
Note
The PROFIBUS addresses set at the devices using these switches must correspond with the
address settings in HW Config.

Recommendation for PROFIBUS addresses
Reserve PROFIBUS address "0" for a service programming device and "1" for a service HMI
device which are connected to the subnet as required.
Recommended PROFIBUS address setting for SIMOTION D410 in case of replacement or
service:
Reserve address "2" for a SIMOTION D410. This prevents redundancy of the addresses
after SIMOTION D410 is installed in the subnet with default settings (for example, when
replacing a SIMOTION D410). Assign addresses higher than "2" to any additional devices on
the subnet.

Operating SIMOTION D410 on PROFIBUS DP.

PROFIBUS DP interface (X21)
SIMOTION D410 provides an interface for connecting to PROFIBUS DP. The interface
supports transmission rates up to 12 Mbit/s.
The PROFIBUS DP interface can be operated as:
● DP slave, isochronous
● DP master, isochronous
● DP slave, not isochronous
● DP master, not isochronous
Both PROFIBUS DP interfaces are set by default for operation as master at address 2 at a
transmission rate of 1.5 Mbit/s. The PROFIBUS DP network is automatically detected and
generated for this setting.
However, you can select other settings. Such user-specific settings must be configured in
HW Config and NetPro.

3.3.4

Creating a new PROFIBUS DP subnet
The SIMOTION D410 device is networked using SIMOTION SCOUT. Set up your userspecific bus parameters for the PROFIBUS interface when you configure the network.
Note
The actions outlined below only need to be taken if you have not selected an interface when
integrating SIMOTION D410 into the project (cf. chapter "Integrating SIMOTION D410 into a
project").
Next, interconnect the programming device / PC using NetPro with the device, see the
chapter "Configuring the programming device / PC interface".
1. Double-click the "D410" entry in the Project Navigator in order to open HW Config.
2. Double-click the DP/MPI interface in the SIMOTION D410 representation in HW Config.
The "Properties - DP/MPI" dialog box opens.
3. Click "Properties" in the "General" tab to open the "PROFIBUS interface DP/MPI" dialog
box.
4. Click "New" to open the "Properties - New PROFIBUS Subnet" dialog box.
5. Name the new subnet, and then enter its properties in the "Network settings" tab, for
example, the transmission rate.
6. Click "OK" to accept the settings.
The new subnet is now displayed in the "Properties - PROFIBUS interface DP/MPI"
dialog box and is ready for being interconnected with the PROFIBUS DP interface.
7. Save and compile the changes.

Setting the DP cycle and system cycle clocks
All system clocks for SIMOTION D410 DP are based on the DP cycle of SINAMICS
Integrated, which must be set in HW Config.
Double-click the SINAMICS block at the integrated PROFIBUS. The "DP Slave Properties"
dialog box opens. You can synchronize the DP cycle of SINAMICS Integrated in the
"Isochronous mode" tab.
Table 3-1

Range of values for SIMOTION D410 DP

DP cycle:

≥ 1 ms

Resolution:

0.125 ms

The PROFIBUS DP interface of the SIMOTION D410 DP supports operation at a DP cycle
time ≥ 1 ms, at a resolution of 0.125 ms. SINAMICS Integrated always runs in isochronous
mode. The cyclic tasks of SIMOTION are therefore always in synchronism with
SINAMICS Integrated.
The set DP cycle of SINAMICS Integrated is displayed as "Bus cycle" in the "System Clocks
- D410..." dialog box in SIMOTION SCOUT. Select the SIMOTION D410 DP in the project
tree, and then select the "Set system clocks" option in the "Target system" > "Expert" menu.
The table below shows the ratios you can set for the system clocks of SIMOTION D410 DP
based on the DP cycle.

Possible factors between the system cycle clocks

Bus cycle: Servo cycle clock

Servo cycle clock: IPO
cycle

IPO cycle: IPO2 cycle

1 ... 4, 6, 8

1…6

2 … 64

The minimum configurable length of the servo cycle is 1 ms. In conjunction with technology
objects, a minimum servo cycle of 2 ms is recommended.
If you programmed the PROFIBUS DP interface for operation in isochronous master mode,
you must synchronize its DP cycle with the DP cycle of SINAMICS Integrated in HW Config.
The timebase for the system clocks is generated internally if the DP interface is operated in
isochronous or non-isochronous master mode. SIMOTION D410 does not have to
synchronize itself with an external cycle.
The PROFIBUS DP interface can also be operated in isochronous slave mode. In this
constellation system clocks are based on the clock signals received at the slave interface. A
substitute clock of a duration equivalent to the configured clock is generated internally if the
isochronous slave interface has not received a clock signal.
The clock settings are included in the project download to SIMOTION D410 DP and are
adjusted according to specification.
At a PROFIBUS DP interface operated in isochronous slave mode you can also step down
the clock ratio for synchronization with SINAMICS Integrated. This reduction of the clock
ratio at the isochronous slave interface for synchronization with SINAMICS Integrated allows
the operation of a DP cycle at the slave interface which is equivalent to an integer multiple
SINAMICS Integrated. You set up this reduction by configuring the SINAMICS Integrated
and DP interface cycles in HW Config. The rule is checked in HW Config.

Rules for SIMOTION D410 DP

Rules for synchronizing the system clocks
You must conform to the following rules when setting the DP cycle and SINAMICS clocks:
1. The DP cycle must be an integer multiple of the current controller cycle. Error A01902 (2)
is reported in the drive if this rule is violated.
2. The master application cycle (T mapc), which corresponds to the servo cycle, must be an
integer multiple of the speed controller cycle. Error A01902 (7) is reported in the drive if
this rule is violated. The smallest-possible T mapc so results from the smallest common
multiple of the DP cycle and the speed controller cycle.
If the master application cycle = 1, this means that the DP cycle is also an integer multiple
of the speed controller cycle.
3. The DP cycle must be an integer multiple of the basic cycles r0110[x] (DRIVE-CLiQ basic
sampling rates). Error A01902 (13) is reported in the drive if this rule is violated.

Note
In addition to the rules mentioned, also observe the rules outlined below. These rules apply
both to SIMOTION D410 DP and to SIMOTION D410 PN!

Configuring SIMOTION D410
3.3 Configuring the PROFIBUS DP interface (only D410 DP)

Rules for SIMOTION D410 DP
The general rule for SIMOTION D410 specifies that the DP cycle (D410 DP) forms the basic
clock of the cycle system. All cycles longer than this basic clock must be an integer multiple
of the basic clock.
This rule also applies to SINAMICS cycles, if one of the successive cycles is longer than the
basic clock:
● Speed controller p115[1]
● Flow controller p115[2]
● Setpoint channel p115[3]
● Position controller p115[4]
● Positioning p115[5]
● Technology controller (p0115[6])
● Onboard I/O p0799
● Terminal module I/O p4099
The corresponding cycle must be an integer multiple of the basic clock.
If any change to the DP cycle violates this rule you must also change the SINAMICS cycles.
In order to change the cycles in the Expert list of SIMOTION SCOUT, select the
"Control_Unit" from "SINAMICS_Integrated" in the Project Navigator, and then open the
"Expert List" by selecting the "Expert" command from the shortcut menu.
Example: A default value of 4 ms is set at the SINAMICS setpoint channel. If setting a DP
cycle of 3 ms you must set an integer multiple value as required at the setpoint channel, for
example, 3 ms or 6 ms.

General information about PROFINET communication

Overview
PROFINET is an open component-based industrial communication system using Ethernet
(IEC 61158) for distributed automation systems.
The PROFINET interface supports operation of SIMOTION D410 PN as IO controller and/or
as intelligent device.
PROFINET distinguishes between the controller and its assigned devices. Controller and
devices form a PROFINET IO system, comparable to a master-slave system on PROFIBUS.
SIMOTION D410 PN supports the following PROFINET communication methods:
● RT
● IRT
With IRT, a distinction is made between IRT with high flexibility and IRT with high
performance.

Rules for using the PROFINET send cycle
If the PROFINET send cycle is the basis for the cycles, ensure that the DP cycle of the
SINAMICS Integrated and the servo cycle are equal.
The timebase for the system clocks are generated internally if the PROFINET interface is not

Advantages of DSC (compared to a position controller in the control unit):
● Higher Kv (position controller gain) possible
● Larger bandwidth and consequently higher dynamic response
● Shorter response times for disturbance characteristic
The DSC dynamic drive control can be used for the SIEMENS message frame 105, PSD10/10 and SIEMENS message frame 106, PSD-11/15. The DSC is activated by default for
the configuration of the axis using the Drive Wizard.

Overview

Introduction
You can configure the plant in online mode after having completed its wiring. You can upload
the data of SINAMICS components connected via DRIVE-CLiQ to your programming device
/ PC using the "Automatic configuration" function. However, this functionality is only available
within the initial commissioning phase.
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).

Prerequisites for online configuration
● You created a project in SIMOTION SCOUT and added a SIMOTION D410 to the project.
● You configured the communication between the the programming device / PC and
SIMOTION D410.

Procedure
Steps involved in offline configuring:
● Establishing the online connection
● Starting automatic configuration
● Configuring SINAMICS components
● Aligning HW Config
● Downloading the project to SIMOTION D410

4.3.2

Establishing the online connection
The procedure for an initial commissioning follows.
To perform an online configuration, you must establish an online connection to the
SIMOTION D410. In this case, no connection can yet be established to SINAMICS
Integrated. An appropriate message is output. Once the hardware configuration has been
loaded into the target device, an online connection to the SINAMICS Integrated is
established automatically. Proceed as follows:
1. Save and compile the project.
2. Establish an online connection.
3. Select the SIMOTION D410 device in the Project Navigator.
Note
Ensure that you use the "Download to the target device" function rather than "Download
to the target system". An automatic commissioning is no longer possible after "Download
to the target system". If "Download to the target system" has been used, "Restore factory
settings" must be performed on the drive element in order to start an automatic
commissioning afterwards.
4. Use the "Download to the target device" function to download the SIMOTION D410
device into the target device. The connection to SINAMICS Integrated is activated
automatically.
You can now run the automatic configuration at SINAMICS Integrated. For details, see
Section Starting automatic configuration (Page 75).

Creating an axis

Overview
The SIMOTION SCOUT Engineering System can be used to insert axes in your project.
1. Start a session of the Axis Wizard in order to configure the axes and interconnect these
with the SINAMICS Integrated drive.
2. Insert your user programs into the project.
3. Compile the project and download it to SIMOTION D410.
Note
Note that only one real axis can be used on a SIMOTION D410.

Creating an axis using the Axis Wizard
Axes are integrated as technology objects (TOs) in SIMOTION. Create the axis with
corresponding settings under the SIMOTION D410 and then interconnect it with
SINAMICS Integrated.
How to insert an axis:
1. Double-click the "Axis > Insert Axis" entry in the Project Navigator.
This opens the Axis Wizard.

Figure 4-16

Inserting an axis

2. Name the axis TO in the "Insert Axis" dialog box, select the technology and save and
confirm your entries with "OK".
3. Continue the Axis Configuration Wizard and enter your system settings until the "Drive
Assignment" dialog box opens.
4. Click "Align SINAMICS devices..." to open the "Device Alignment" dialog box.

Figure 4-17

Assigning a drive

6. Select a drive unit in the "Drive Assignment" dialog box. Normally only a SINAMICS
Integrated drive will be offered. Exception: A D410 has been configured, for example,
with a hydraulic axis. You have already defined the message frame type in the previous
steps and so only need to accept it. To do this, click the "Accept data from the drive"
button to transfer the SINAMICS Integrated values in the axis wizards.
7. Select the encoder from the "Encoder Assignment" dialog box and then adapt its
properties. Click the "Accept data from the drive" button to transfer the SINAMICS
Integrated values in the axis wizards.
Note
For motors with DRIVE-CLiQ interface, a "Accept data from the drive" automatically
transfers the determined drive and encoder data (e.g. encoder type). This requires that
the data has already been fetched from the attached devices. Namely, an offline
configuration has already been used to establish an online connection or an online
configuration has been performed.
8. Complete the Axis Wizard session.
The configured axis is displayed in the Project Navigator. After having downloaded it to the
target system, you can test the axis using the axis or drive control panel.

Integrating additional encoders (optional)

4.5.1

General information
SIMOTION D410 provides the option of integrating and configuring further encoders in
addition to the motor encoder.
The following encoders are supported for operation with SIMOTION D410:
● Encoders with DRIVE-CLiQ interface
● Encoders connected to SIMOTION D410 using the onboard encoder interface (X23)
● Encoders connected to SIMOTION D410 using an SMx module
● Encoders connected using PROFIBUS or PROFINET

Prerequisite
SIMOTION D410 features a DRIVE-CLiQ X100 interface for connecting an encoder. An
additional encoder can be connected, for example, using the on-board encoder interface
(X23).

Configuring two encoders
The second encoder can be used at SIMOTION D410, for example, as:
● Machine encoder (second encoder)
● External encoder.
The external encoder can be used, for example, to measure an actual position value directly
on a geared motor. If operating with a second encoder as machine encoder you can work
with encoder changeover.

Configuring tasks
Encoders connected using PROFIBUS or PROFINET are configured only for SIMOTION.
Encoders connected using SMx, DRIVE-CLiQ or the onboard encoder interface, must be
configured for the drive (SINAMICS Integrated) and SIMOTION.
Configure this additional encoder on drive side (SINAMICS Integrated) and in SIMOTION:
1. Configure the encoder interface on the drive side (second encoder)
2. Configuring a second encoder for a TO axis in SIMOTION
3. Configuring an external encoder in SIMOTION
These steps in configuring are described in the next section.

4.6.1

Onboard I/Os and terminal modules configuration overview

Using SINAMICS I/Os by SIMOTION
Digital inputs/outputs (I/Os) assigned to SINAMICS can be used completely or partially by
SIMOTION. Examples here are the use of terminal modules (TMs) or onboard I/Os of the
D410. To allow the I/Os to be used by SIMOTION, the input and output data must be
transferred using message frames. This message frame configuration is used to represent
the I/Os in the logical address space of SIMOTION and so can be used by a SIMOTION
application. The BICO interconnections on the drive specify which I/Os are represented on
the message frame.
These BICO interconnections can be:
● Freely defined (free message frame configuration; message frame extension).
● Permanently defined (standard message frames, e.g. message frame 39x; axis message
frames). . .)
● Configuration dependent (TM15/TM17 High Feature).
The access to the message frame for SIMOTION D410 is made using I/O variables or
input/output addresses. Depending how the I/Os are to be used, various configuration
possibilities are appropriate:

For message frame 39x, however, all onboard terminals are interconnected automatically to
message frame 39x using BICO interconnections and so available only for SIMOTION. The
following is true:
• All onboard I/Os configured as digital output for the drive are only available for
SIMOTION, i.e. they can no longer be used by SINAMICS.
• Digital inputs can be used by SIMOTION and SINAMICS.

Use of message frame 39x
The following section describes the configuration of the onboard I/Os of a SIMOTION D410.
The configuration of the onboard I/Os of a CU310 connected to a SIMOTION controller is
performed similarly. With the exception of the "high-speed output cams / DOs", the same
functionality is available for a CU310 as the D410.

Functionality of the 390, 391 and 392 message frames
The onboard I/Os of the D410 assigned to SINAMICS can be used by SIMOTION with the
39x message frames. This functionality is available as of SIMOTION V4.1, SP1. If a
message frame 39x is set, however, all the onboard I/Os are interconnected automatically to
this message frame 39x using BICO interconnections and so available for SIMOTION. All
onboard I/Os of a control unit parameterized as digital output, e.g. D410s are available only
for SIMOTION. Digital inputs can be used by both SIMOTION and SINAMICS.
In addition to the use of the onboard I/Os, the 39x message frame permits the use of:
● High-speed outputs for output cams and high-speed digital outputs (DO)
● "Global" measuring inputs
● The control and status word of the control unit (CU_STW, CU_ZSW)
Depending on the selected 39x message frame, various functionalities can be used with
SIMOTION D.

Free message frame configuring with P915/P916 (only TM15/TM17 High Feature)
The TM15 and TM17 High Feature terminal modules are connected to the control unit using
the DRIVE-CLiQ interface. This assigns the terminal modules to the SINAMICS. When a
TM15 or TM17 High Feature is added to SIMOTION SCOUT, an automatic interconnection
to a "free message frame with P915/P916" is made. Other interconnection possibilities exist.
Not for TM15 (but not TM15 DI/DO) and TM17 High Feature.
The structure and the length of the message frame depends on the configured properties of
the inputs and outputs. The I/O channels can be parameterized as digital input, digital
output, input for measuring input or output for output cam.
The automatic interconnection of the message frame means the functionality of the modules
can only be used by SIMOTION and is controlled from the SIMOTION user program using
input/output addresses or I/O variables. A drive-side configuring using BICO / DCC
SINAMICS is not possible.

Configuring free message frames by means of BICO

Overview
For the "free message frame configuring using BICO", dedicated message frames for the
data transmission are assigned to the associated drive objects (e.g. terminal modules).
Message frame type: Free message frame configuring using BICO (only slaves)
To allow SIMOTION to access the SINAMICS drive signals, e.g. I/Os, they must be
interconnected to the SINAMICS using BICO to the message frame. The "free message
frame configuring using" is a preferred solution when I/Os are to be divided channel-granular
between SIMOTION and SINAMICS and a module view is preferred.

Creating an I/O variable in SIMOTION
Create the I/O variables in SIMOTION SCOUT in order to access the signals of TM31. You
require the input or output addresses for the TM31 message frame in the "PROFIBUS
Message Frame" dialog box. This allows you to assign the variable either as a complete
word, a byte or a single bit.
1. In the Project Navigator, double-click "I/O" below the created D410. The symbol browser
opens
2. Enter a name for the I/O variable.
3. Enter an I/O address, e.g.
PI277.0 - This accesses PSD1, bit 0 of the configured message frame.
PI276.0 - This accesses PSD1, bit 8 of the configured message frame.
SIMOTION can now access the signal.
The PROFIdrive profile specifies that the process status data (PSD) is defined as a 16-bit
value. Take into account when determining the I/O address that the least significant byte of
the SIMOTION I/O variable is assigned to the most significant PSD bits of the message
frame and vice versa:

Expanding a message frame
The message frame extension extends existing standard message frames (e.g. axis
message frames) with additional process status data (PSD). These additional PSDs are then
interconnected using BICO (e.g. to an actual speed value or to the status of a digital input).
A message frame extension is then the preferred variant when I/Os are to be distributed
between SIMOTION and SINAMICS and, for example, an axis view is preferred (driverelated I/O should be appended to each axis message frame).
Proceed as follows:
1. Insert a drive using the Drive Wizard and select PROFIBUS (drive), e.g. "standard
message frame 103", for process data exchange.
2. Double-click the "Configuration" entry below "SINAMICS Integrated" in the Project

Using high-speed outputs for output cams on D410

Using high-speed outputs for output cams / DOs with D410
Output cams are defined as being the position-dependent output of switching signals. The
TO output cams and TO output cam track technology objects control the output of output
cams for SIMOTION.
The integrated digital outputs of the SIMOTION D can be used as cam output or as highspeed output with write access to the user program. In order to be able to use the highspeed outputs, one of the 39x message frames must be created.
Note
If I/O data is transferred using bus message frames, the update of the I/O data is subject to
the set bus cycle. This means an I/O using a 39x message frame can change its status just
once in each bus cycle of the PROFIBUS Integrated.
For SIMOTION D onboard outputs, the outputs are controlled using direct write accesses to
the hardware (i.e. bypassing the message frame). This means:
• Write accesses to digital outputs act with a particularly short delay time because the write
access is independent of the bus cycle.
• A more accurate output of the cam output is possible
For fast write accesses from the user program, the resulting delay time has the following
form:
• User program delay time -> terminal register: max. 75 μs
• Load-dependent output delay time of the hardware for D410:
L -> H: max. 400 μs
H -> L: max. 100 μs
High-speed outputs of output cams
If you use the output as high-speed output of a cam output, for the configuration of the TO
output cams / TO output cam track, enter the logical hardware address and the bit number of
the used output in the configuration screen form of the TO.
For additional information, see the SIMOTION Motion Control Output Cams and Measuring
Outputs Function Manual.
High-speed digital outputs
If you use the output as high-speed digital output, create an I/O variable in SIMOTION
SCOUT. The same addresses should be used for the high-speed digital outputs as those
normally used for the digital outputs.

Using probe inputs on D410

Configuration of probe inputs
Measuring inputs are used for fast, accurate measurement of actual positions. This is
achieved with hardware support (for example, the measuring input on the assigned drive
unit). Digital inputs for standard peripherals, e.g. distributed SIMATIC ET 200 peripheral
system, cannot generally be used as probe inputs.
For SIMOTION, the TO probe input technology object controls the probe input functionality.
SIMOTION differentiates between two classes of the probe inputs; these classes have
different properties that are configured differently.

Local and global measuring inputs
Depending on the used hardware platform, the following local and global measuring inputs
are available for the measuring tasks:
● Local measuring inputs are axis-related and implemented in the SINAMICS drive. The
actual position value is measured.
● Global measuring inputs can be freely assigned to the axes and add an internal
timestamp to the measurement result for more precise determination of the axis positions.

Creating and programming TM41

4.7.1

Overview
The TM41 terminal module can be used to expand the number of digital I/O and of analog
inputs within a drive system. TM41 also returns TTL signals which emulate an incremental
encoder, for example, for a master control system.
The emulated encoder signal has the signal characteristic of an incremental TTL encoder (A
track, B track, R track). The resolution of the encoder signal can be specified in the
configuration.
Configuring the TM41 involves the following steps:
● Configuring TM41 at SINAMICS Integrated
● Configuring TM41 using the Axis Wizard.
Note
The digital I/Os can be interconnected similar to those of TM31.
The TM41 encoder interface (incremental encoder representation) can
● Be interconnected with an encoder signal of the control unit using parameterization, e.g.
sin/cos incremental encoder. For detailed information, consult the SINAMICS manuals.
● From the SIMOTION viewpoint, can be accessed as axis. This allows you to return the
axis position (a master value) as encoder signal to a second controller, for example.
Detailed information is contained in the SIMOTION D4x5 Commissioning and Hardware
Installation Manual.
The second application case can only be used with SIMOTION D410 with restrictions,
because the TM41 is configured as a real axis. Because SIMOTION D410 supports just one
real axis, no additional real axis can be configured.

4.7.2

Configuring TM41 at SINAMICS Integrated
TM41 can be configured after you completed the configuration of SINAMICS Integrated.
Proceed as follows:
1. Double-click "Insert InputIOutput Ccomponent" at "Input/output component" in the Project

2. Select TM41 from the "Control type" field of the "Insert input/output component" dialog
box and assign a unique name to the module.

Resetting the memory of SIMOTION D410

Introduction
A memory reset deletes all data from RAM on the SIMOTION D410 and non-volatile data in
SRAM with the exception of the communication configuration (baud rates, network
addresses, etc.). Data on the CompactFlash Card is retained if you reset the memory.
Reset the memory on SIMOTION D410 if
● You want to undo changes made to user data (programs, configuration data, parameter
assignments) which you have not backed up by means of the "Copy RAM to ROM"
command.
● The RUN/STOP LED is flashing (slow flashing) to indicate that SIMOTION D410 is
requesting a memory reset.
● Non-volatile data does not match the project on the CF card and an error is generated
(diagnostics buffer entry).
You can reset memory either in offline mode using the DIL switch of SIMOTION D410, or in
online mode using SIMOTION SCOUT.

Data deleted by memory reset
The following data is deleted during a memory reset:
● User data (units, configuration data, parameters, task configuration)
● Technology packages
● Retain TO (absolute encoder adjustment)
● Retain variables
Retain variables in the interface or implementation section of a UNIT are declared with
VAR_GLOBAL RETAIN
Note
As a memory reset deletes all absolute encoder data the encoder must be re-adjusted
after memory reset.

4.12 Deleting data

Data retained during memory reset
The following data is retained during memory reset:
● TCP/IP and DP parameters
● Diagnostics buffer
● Data that was saved with the _savePersistentMemoryData, _saveUnitDataSet,
_exportUnitDataSet and RAMtoROM commands and with the "Copy RAM to ROM"
function.
The data contents of a backup file generated by executing _savePersistentMemoryData
(PMEMORY.XML/PMEMORY.BAK) is written back to non-volatile data after memory
reset. Users can therefore force the restoration of non-volatile data by means of memory
reset.
● Licenses
The technology packages and user data (configuration data, programs, parameter
assignments) you previously backed up to a CompactFlash Card by means of the "Copy
RAM to ROM" command are transferred to the "non-volatile data" area of the SIMOTION
410 during the next startup. This operation transfers any configuration data found on the
CompactFlash Card to the SIMOTION device after memory reset.

Memory reset by means of SIMOTION SCOUT
You can only reset memory using SIMOTION SCOUT if SIMOTION D410 is operating in
online mode.
1. Select SIMOTION D410 from the Project Navigator of SIMOTION SCOUT.
2. Select the "Target device > Control system mode" command from the shortcut menu in
order to open the "D410: System Mode" dialog box.
3. Select the STOP mode.
4. Next, select the MRES mode to reset the memory.

Memory reset using the mode selector switch
The mode selector switch function is implemented in SIMOTION D410 by means of a DIL
switch (DIL = Dual-In-Line). Use this DIL switch (switch S1 - S3) to set the binary code for
the mode of operation.
Information pertaining to to the switch positions and corresponding modes of operation is
available in the SIMOTION D410 Manual.
You can only reset memory using the mode selector switch if SIMOTION D410 is operating
in offline mode.

Replacing components
DRIVE-CLiQ components support hot-plugging, that is, replacement or re-insertion while the
system is in on or off state.

Automatic upgrading/downgrading
As of SINAMICS firmware version 2.5, the DRIVE-CLiQ components are automatically
upgraded or downgraded to the version of the component firmware on the CF card.
Components that cannot be upgrade or downgraded to the component firmware version on
the CF card retain their firmware version. This is the case, for example, when a downgrade
should be inhibited (e.g. "older firmware" is not supported by the "newer hardware"). The
system ensures that the resulting combination possibilities of firmware versions are
permitted.
An upgrade/downgrade operation in progress is indicated on the components by a 0.5 Hz
red-green flashing LED and on SIMOTION D410 by a 0.5 Hz yellow-flashing RDY LED.
A successfully completed firmware upgrade/downgrade is indicated on the components by

A.2 Safety of electronic controllers

A.2

Safety of electronic controllers

Introduction
The following remarks relate to fundamental criteria and apply irrespective of the type of
controller and the manufacturer.

Reliability
Comprehensive and cost-effective measures have been taken during development and
production to increase the reliability of the devices and components as far as possible.
These include
● The selection of high-quality components
● Worst-case dimensioning of all circuits
● Systematic and computerized inspection of all supplied components
● Burning in of all LSI circuits (e.g. processors, memories, etc.)
● Measures to prevent static discharge when handling MOS circuits
● Visual checks during various stages of manufacture
● Continuous heat testing at higher ambient temperatures for several days
● Computerized final inspection
● Statistical analysis of all returned goods so that corrective measures can be initiated
immediately
● Monitoring of the primary controller components using online tests
These measures are considered to be basic measures for safety engineering. They avoid or
control the majority of faults that may occur.

Risk
A higher degree of safety standard applies to all applications and situations where there is a
risk of material damage or injury to persons if there is a failure. Special regulations specific to
the system apply to such applications. These must be taken into account for configuration of
the controller (e.g. VDE 0116 for furnaces).
For electronic controllers with safety responsibility, the measures required for preventing or
controlling faults depend on the hazard inherent in the plant. In this respect, the basic
measures listed above are no longer adequate once the hazard exceeds a certain potential.
Additional measures (e.g. double redundancy, tests, checksums, etc.) for the controller must
implemented and certified (DIN VDE 0801).

A.2 Safety of electronic controllers

Division into safety-critical and non-safety-critical areas
Nearly all systems contain parts that perform safety-related tasks (e.g. emergency stop
switch, protective grating, two-hand controls). To avoid having to apply safety-related criteria
to the entire controller, it is customary to divide the controller into two areas - one that is
critical to safety and one that is not critical to safety. No special demands are made
concerning safety in the area that is not safety-critical as an electronic fault would not have
any effect on the safety of the system. However, in the safety-critical area, only controllers
and circuits that comply with the relevant regulations, may be used.

Important note
Even if an extremely high level of conceptual safety has been achieved in the design of an
electronic controller - e.g. through implementation of a multi-channel design - strict
adherence to all instructions in the operator's guide is mandatory, as incorrect handling could
invalidate measures taken to prevent hazardous faults or create additional potential hazards.
DANGER
Electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields (EMF) that occur during operation can pose
a danger to persons who are present in the direct vicinity of the product - especially
persons with pacemakers, implants, or similar devices.
The relevant directives and standards must be observed by the machine/plant operators
and persons present in the vicinity of the product. These are, for example, EMF Directive
2004/40/EEC and standards EN 12198-1 and -3 pertinent to the European Economic Area
(EEA), as well as accident prevention code BGV 11 and the associated rule BGR 11
"Electromagnetic fields" of the German employer's liability accident insurance association.
These state that a hazard analysis must be drawn up for every workplace, from which
measures for reducing dangers and their impact on persons are derived and applied, and
exposure and danger zones are defined and observed.
The safety information in the Storage, Transport, Installation, Commissioning, Operation,
Maintenance, Disassembly and Disposal sections must also be taken into account.

ESD guidelines
B.1

ESD definition

What does ESD mean?
All electronic modules are equipped with highly integrated modules or components. Because
of the technology used, these electronic components are very sensitive to overvoltages and
thus to discharge of static electricity.
The acronym ESD has become the established designation for such Electrostatic Sensitive
Devices. The ESD designation is used internationally to refer to electrostatic sensitive
devices.
Electrostatic sensitive devices are identified by the following symbol:

Figure B-1

Symbol for identification of electrostatic sensitive devices

CAUTION
Electrostatic sensitive devices can be irreparably damaged by voltages that are far lower
than anything a person can perceive. These voltages occur if you touch a component or the
electrical connection of a module without having previously discharged any static from your
body. Any damage that occurs to a module as a result of overvoltage is generally not
recognized immediately and only comes to light after the equipment has been operating for
some time.

B.2

Electrostatic charging of individuals
Any person who is not conductively connected to the electrical potential of the environment
can accumulate an electrostatic charge.

Electrostatic voltage that can accumulate on operating personnel

Basic measures for protection against discharge of static electricity

Ensure sufficient grounding
When working with electrostatic sensitive devices, make sure that the you, your workstation,
and the packaging are properly grounded. This prevents the accumulation of static
electricity.

Avoid direct contact
You should only touch ESD components if unavoidable (for example, during maintenance
work). When you touch modules, make sure that you do not touch either the pins on the
modules or the printed conductors. If you follow these instructions, electrostatic discharge
cannot reach or damage sensitive components.
If you have to take measurements on a module, make sure that you first discharge any static
that may have accumulated in your body. To do this, touch a grounded metal object. Only
use grounded measuring instruments.
