Hi to all ,

The above link is for the ABB fieldbus connectivity that you are looking at implementing. Example Profibus.

Next look at the Siemens CPU that you are programming and look for the manual or quick start guide.
Example S7 Profibus

ABB drives use the profidrive profile. PPO types/telegrams
With that being said, insert the gsd into the hardware config.
Then go to the Siemens support site and use a function block from there
This will keep you from "starting from scratch"

Check your manual. In the bottom of your picture you see PPO6, check which WORDS correspond to what command/feedback.

Usually, the first word is control word (status word in feedback), second is speed (actual speed in feedback).

You can use the addresses just like any other PROFINET addresses in your program.

You will likely have to build your own.

This is what we use. 3 commands (start/stop/reset) and a reference. Other is mapping of STW.

Start with sending W#16#47C to your drive (first address) and see if it starts. W#16#43C to stop.

This is the most basic way of controlling.

i don't have the drive control , i work in a factory where ABB ACS and DCS drives are controlled from PLC and i want to know how to do it .

i think it's hard for me and i should take a course on controlling drives throw the PLC .

thanks for the help , topic should be closed

you should study the telegram or status and control words of the drive carefully and you have a good example from bonless via snaped shots
