Special Considerations When A Cx32/Cx32-2 Controller Extension (Up To Kernel V4.2) Is Connected - Siemens SIMOTION Function Manual

Note
For the implementation of a modular machine, several projects with their drive configurations
can be stored on the SIMOTION memory card. These configurations can then be activated,
and it is possible to switch between the different configurations. You must therefore ensure
that all projects with their drive configurations (incl. safety configuration) stored on the
SIMOTION memory card for SINAMICS Integrated function correctly on the entire system
and have been subject to a full safety acceptance test. For projects with mixed operation, the
user is responsible for the installation of passive (e.g. marking or suitable safety precautions)
or active (e.g. monitoring of the relevant axes) safety measures.
Mixed operation is the switchover between safety and non-safety axes. This also includes
the replacement of safety axes with the same safety parameterization with regard to the
communication with the safety module in the different configurations.
6.1.1 Special considerations when a CX32/CX32‑2 controller extension (up to Kernel
V4.2) is connected
The following applies up to version V4.2 of the SIMOTION Kernel:
● If one or more CX32/CX32‑2 controller extensions are connected to a SIMOTION D4x5/
Forcing restart (procedure)
To force the CX32/CX32‑2 controller extension to restart, proceed as follows (3 options):
● Power Off/On for the entire system
● Power Off/On of the CX32/CX32‑2 controller extension
● Set p0972 = 1 on the CX32/CX32‑2 controller extension:
Avoid unsafe states
Ensure the system is in a safe state!
No attempt should be made to access the memory card of the SIMOTION D4x5/D4x5‑2.

D4x5‑2, note the following when activating a configuration with the _activateConfiguration
function:
The activated configuration will only take effect on the CX32/CX32‑2 controller extension
after the CX32/CX32‑2 has been restarted. This restart must be specifically initiated by the
user, as the _activateConfiguration function does not perform a restart automatically.
– In the user program: with the function _writeDriveParameter, for example
Or
– In SIMOTION SCOUT: In the expert list for the "Control_Unit" of the CX32/CX32‑2
controller extensions
This restarts the CX32/CX32‑2 immediately.
