Add and configure PROFIBUS DP drives

Adding and configuring a PROFIBUS IO drive is described below using a SINAMICS S120.
Adding and configuring other PROFIBUS drives may differ from the description in certain
respects.
Requirements
● The SIMATIC S7-1500 device is created in the project.
● You have a basic knowledge of how to configure PROFIBUS DP networks.
● The desired drive can be selected in the hardware catalog.
If the drive is not available in the Hardware Catalog, then it must be installed in the "Extras"
menu as a device description file (GSD).
Adding a drive and frame in the device configuration
1. Open the device configuration and change to the network view.
2. In the hardware catalog, open the folder "Additional Field Devices > PROFIBUS DP >
Drives > Siemens AG > SINAMICS".
3. Select the folder of the desired drive with the desired version, then drag the drive object
to the network view.
4. Assign the drive to the PROFIBUS interface of the PLC.
5. Open the drive in the device view.
6. Drag a standard frame from the hardware catalog to the slot of the device overview of the
drive.
For more information on suitable frames, refer to the section Frames (Page 29).
Use the "Axis disconnector" in the hardware catalog if you want to add another drive and
another standard frame in the device overview.
Enable isochronous operation of the drive in the device configuration
PROFIBUS drives can always be operated in cyclic mode or isochronous mode. Isochronous
mode, however, increases the quality of the position control of the drive.
Proceed as follows if you want to control the drive in isochronous mode:
1. Open the device view in the drive.
2. In the properties dialog, select the tab "General > Isochronous Mode".
3. Select the "Synchronize DP slave to constant DP bus cycle time" check box .
