Project management gives you the possibility to structure the units in such a way that
they map the function in your machine/system. You can structure the units independent
of the communication link.
9.1.2 Advantages of project management

Structuring the units according to the function in your machine/system
Storing data in an organized manner
Configuring a machine/system in the offline mode
Easily comparing data of the units that are physically connected and accessible on-
line with data of the configured units

9007200448237579
Position Designation Description

[3] Load For every unit [8] that you configure, MOVITOOLS MotionStudio creates a
parameter file based on the standard parameters for this unit type.
MOVITOOLS MotionStudio stores this parameter file on the hard disk [1] in
the project directory.
When you open the project, MOVITOOLS MotionStudio loads [3] the unit
parameters from the parameter file on the hard disk. The content of this
parameter file is transferred by MOVITOOLS MotionStudio to the RAM [4]
of the PC.
[6] Upload Changes made using online tools affect "ONLY" the unit.
Perform the "Upload (unit->PC)" function [6] to transfer these changes to
your RAM [4].
[7] Download Changes made using offline tools affect "ONLY" the RAM [4].
Perform the "Download (PC->unit)" function [7] to transfer these
changes to the unit [4].
[2] Save The change to the working memory [4] compared to the parameter file is dis-
played by a mini symbol.
Save your project [2].
Result: Your changes are continuously saved in the parameter files of
the modified units. The mini symbol disappears.

9 Synchronizing unit parameters
9.3 Synchronizing unit parameters

The "Synchronization" function can be used for individual units or all units belonging to
one node. "Synchronizing" combines the functions "Download" and "Upload".
Use the "Synchronizing" function after updating firmware or replacing units.
The unit parameters are transferred from the parameter file to the unit that can be ac-
cessed online ("download"). Next, all information is transferred from the unit that can be
accessed online back to the parameter file ("upload").
The upload makes sure that the information stored in the unit is also recognized by the
project through the new firmware.
If you want to synchronize all units belonging to a node, proceed as follows:
1. Select the respective node in the network view or in the project view.
2. In the context menu, select the menu item [Synchronized parameter sets (PC -> all
units -> PC)].
If you want to synchronize an individual unit in the project, proceed as follows:

Overview The Address Editor is a freeware tool by SEW-EURODRIVE GmbH & Co KG.
It is available once the "MOVITOOLS MotionStudio" engineering software is installed.
However, it is used separately.
You can use the Address Editor to establish a communication for your units via Ethernet
and to address the units.
If you use a patch cable to connect the Ethernet interface of your engineering PC to the
Ethernet, the Address Editor detects all Ethernet stations in the connected network seg-
ment (local network).
Unlike with "MOVITOOLS MotionStudio", you will not have to adjust the IP address of
the engineering PC to the local network.
This means that the Address Editor is a useful addition to
"MOVITOOLS MotionStudio".
Proceed as follows if you have added other Ethernet stations to an existing network:
Start the Address Editor
Search for Ethernet stations
Once you have found the added Ethernet stations, you have two options:

Integrating units in HW Config:
Phase Description
1 First, you have to integrate the unit in HW Config using the pertaining GSD unit master file
(description file):
GSD for PROFIBUS
GSDML for PROFINET IO
Call device tool and transfer communication parameters:

Phase Description
2 HW Config reads the data of the unit from the PID (program interface description)
(After the installation of MOVITOOLS MotionStudio, the PID is already in the right directory).
3 HW Config creates a TPF (temporary parameter file) with the communication parameters to
be transferred.
4 HW Config calls the device tool "MOVITOOLS MotionStudio" (SEWManager.exe).
5 MOVITOOLS MotionStudio reads the TPF and starts
6 MOVITOOLS MotionStudio deletes the TPF after the start

MOVITOOLS MotionStudio via TCI 14
Using MOVITOOLS MotionStudio via TCI
14.2.2 Advantages
TCI offers the following advantages:
Various manufacturer-specific engineering tools can be called from HW Config in the
same way.
Data management for all engineering tools is performed centrally in the project path
of HW Config.
Communication to the units is established by HW Config. Multiple configuration is not
required.
For the following communication channels, SEW function modules are no longer re-
quired for routing:
Communication via MPI with SIMATIC to PROFIBUS
Communication via Ethernet with SIMATIC to PROFIBUS
14.2.3 Project directories and file storage

When you are using TCI, the project directory and the file storage of
MOVITOOLS MotionStudio are maintained. However, the project of
MOVITOOLS MotionStudio is subordinated to the HW Config project.
Your project is saved here:
"C:\Program Files\Siemens\Step7\s7proj\my_STEP 7_project\Global\SEW-
EURODRIVE\MOVITOOLS MotionStudio\my_MOVITOOLS MotionStudio_project"
Replace the parts of the path in italics/bold with your own, project-specific names.
14.3 Using MOVITOOLS MotionStudio via TCI

15 Glossary
The following table explains the most important terms related to the handling of
MOVITOOLS MotionStudio that are used in this documentation.
Term Meaning
Address Editor The Address Editor is a freeware tool by SEW-EURODRIVE GmbH & Co KG.
It is available once the "MOVITOOLS MotionStudio" engineering software is
installed. However, it is used separately.
You can use Address Editor to establish communication with your units via Ethernet
and to address the units.
Bus node Represents a communication connection via a communication medium (bus
system) in a network.
Clean project Command that removes all parameter files on the PC that no longer belong to the
project.
Communication A communication channel is a communication medium (serial, fieldbus, or Industrial
channel Ethernet) that was activated in the communication settings of MOVITOOLS Motion-
Studio.
Communication A unit can have several communication links if it is addressed via different communi-
link cation media. One of these communication links can be defined as standard commu-
nication link.
Communication Any bus system through which units communicate with each other or with higher-
medium level stations. This includes point-to-point connections.
MOVITOOLS MotionStudio supports the following communication media:
Serial (RS485)
USB
SBus (CAN)
Ethernet
S7-MPI
PROFIBUS
Communication Each communication medium has specific communication parameters. Examples:
parameters Timeout for Ethernet, baud rate for serial, etc. The communication settings of the
SEW Communication Server are also called communication parameters.
Configuration- Software from third party suppliers for configuring controllers and integrating SEW
software units (e.g. SIMATIC Manager form the software package STEP 7 of Siemens); see
TCI
Connection mode The pre-selected connection mode determines whether the tools refer directly to the
unit (online tools) or to the project (offline tools)
Cyclic accessibility If you activate the cyclic availability test, the units are permanently triggered. If for
test any reason the communication to a unit is broken, the color of the affected unit node
changes from "green" to "red".
Device tool See TCI
Download Transfer of unit parameters from a PC to the unit
Framework Term for the basic structure of the software interface from where the tools are called.

Online mode See Connection mode
Online tools See Connection mode
Online unit status Diagnostic option to display the status of a unit that is accessible online. The
online unit status is displayed for each unit that is moved by drag-and-drop to the
respective bar (above the status bar). For this purpose, the connection mode must
be set to "online".
The online unit status gives you the following information about units accessible
online:
Address of the station
Bus used for communication by the station
Unit type
Signature of the unit
Status of the unit (e.g. error, enabled, etc.)
Parameter file File with the parameter set of a unit (unit parameters) saved on the PC. Example:
For MOVIDRIVE, the parameter file name ends in "vd0".
Parameter set Sum of all parameters of a unit
Parameter tree Term for a tree structure of folders to group and display the unit parameters in a
clear arrangement. The parameter tree belongs to the tools that are assigned to the
"Startup" function.
Parameters See unit parameters and communication parameters
Project configura- Designates the structuring of the units according to their function or physical location
tion / configuring in your machine/system. The units are structured independently of the communica-
tion link via project management. Configured units are available offline and can
always be synchronized with the units accessible online. Structure nodes are used
as a means for structuring.
Project view View that displays all configured units in a freely definable logical hierarchy. In this
view, you can visualize how units are grouped within a machine or a system compo-
nent, for example.
Remote operation Remote operation allows several clients to direct queries to a server. The clients
need to have MOVITOOLS MotionStudio installed to use this feature. Only the SEW
Communication Server needs to be installed on the server. To be able to use remote
operation, you must make communication settings on the server and client.
SEW communica- One of several software components included in the software package of
tion server MOVITOOLS MotionStudio. The SEW communication server allows you to create
and configure communication channels.
Signature A name that can be freely assigned to a unit to distinguish it from other units.
Synchronize "Synchronize" combines the functions "Download" and "Upload"."Synchronize" is
project used after a firmware update or unit replacement. The unit parameters are trans-
ferred from the parameter file to the unit that can be accessed online ("Down-
load"). Next, all information is transferred from the unit that can be accessed
online back to the parameter file ("Upload"). The upload makes sure that the infor-
mation stored in the unit is also recognized by the project through the new firmware.
