Drive ES Simatic
Drive ES SIMATIC provides function blocks for SIMATIC CPUs which communicate with Siemens drives via PROFIBUS DP (according to the PROFIdrive profile), or execute the proprietary VPP protocol. Sample programs describe their program-technical integration. Communication only has to be configured instead of programmed.
The blocks can be used in STEP7 from Version V5.0 while Drive ES SIMATIC replaces the predecessor product DVA-S7.

Functions of the modules created with Drive ES SIMATIC
- The configuration DBs are generated via the Wizard
- Read and write process data of freely configurable length and consistence
- Cyclical and acyclical exchange of parameters
- Parameters are uploaded from the drive into the CPU
- Downloading parameters from the CPU to the drive
- The download DBs can be generated from Drive ES Basic in a user-friendly way by means of a converter
- Readout fault memories from SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES or SIMOREG DC MASTER
- Communication watchdog
- Comprehensive sample projects
Benefits for the customers
- Time and cost saving program generation by using tested standard blocks
- Design: Function blocks with instance data; usable in all SIMATIC programming and configuring environments such as LAD, CSF, STL, SCL, CFC; symbolic addressing; online help
- Modular individual functions for runtime-optimized program generation
- Data block generator to avoid duplicated entries in hardware configuration and block parameterization
