A.1
Scripts for SIMOTION
The scripting functionality enables you to automate the configuration of devices, SIMOTION
technology objects (TOs), and SINAMICS drive objects (DOs) with the help of the easy-to-learn
script language VBScript. Standard scripts can be adapted to special situations occurring
during runtime with interactive queries. This facilitates and speeds up commissioning. Other
application possibilities include the documentation of the settings that have been made and
the repetition of complex settings without error.
To access these scripts and the related documentation, select Scripts in
Utilities&Applications.
The selection of documents and scripts you will find there should help you quickly get to grips
with scripting in SIMOTION. As well as demonstration-only scripts for studying the code, there
are also scripts and script libraries you can actually use yourself.
