TIA v15 import drive

Dear List

I am starting my first project from scratch in TIA, I just purchased a TIAv15 and is starting to get my feed whet.

First thing I am trying to do is import data for a S110 CU305 drive to my hardware list, is there a simple way to do this?

Thanks

import??
Its already there-Look at my screenshots

According to Siemens webpage for STARTDRIVE V15.1 (https://w3.siemens.com/mcms/mc-solutions/en/engineering-software/startdrive/pages/startdrive.aspx) only these drives are supported:

SINAMICS G120 - The modular single drive for small and medium output ranges
SINAMICS G120C - The compact single drive with a low power rating and appropriate functionality
SINAMICS G120D - Distributed Inverter for Cabinetless Designs
SINAMICS G120P - The specialist for pumps, fans, and compressors
SINAMICS S120 - The flexible, modular drive system for sophisticated applications
SINAMICS S210 - The servo drive that simplifies project engineering for machine builders a lot

So in order to get an S110 drive into your project, you have to import the GSDML file. And the actual configuration of the drive should be via STARTER.

I am wrong in the above post. It is already in the hardware catalog under "other field devices". But I believe you still have to configure it with STARTER.

Updated my response

Starter is indeed required
Startdrive doesn’t support S110

Never will since S210 fully released

Yes, I probably went a step too far. "import data", I assumed he also thought about the parameters of the drive.

Startdrive didn’t cross my mind
Your two steps ahead of me

I am beginning to use STARTDRIVE (integrated in TIA) for G120. It is convenient to have everything in one place.

Thanks very much for the reply

I did an update of the hardware catalog and the drive showed up in the search

I have done a few S110 drives as standalone installations using the starter software, but for this installation I have a ET 200SP in the same cabinet and I was planing on controlling as much as possible via the PLC, is there a block I can throw in where I can handle the basic tags in the drive?

Or do I hardwire some IO to the drive to control it?

The drive and CPU are both Profinet

Yes
There are blocks.
Speed or position control?
Regardless , look under global libraries.
Drive blocks are there

There are a variety of different drive blocks out there for different Profinet telegrams. Some are included in the Portal install, and I think more are available on the support site.



You can also probably set it up as a technology object in the PLC (assuming you're using one of the newer 1500s). Personally, I prefer this method, and find it a little more intuitive.
