1.3

Changes compared with previous versions

A STEP7 V5.3 OEM version will be installed automatically with STARTER, if no STEP 7 installation is present at the PC. Existing DriveES Basic STARTER projects will be converted when opening.

1.4

STARTER and other engineering software

It is currently not possible to operate STARTER, SIMOTION SCOUT, SIMATIC S7-Technology and STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32 (PC edition) simultaneously on a PC/PG. If STEP 7 software is already installed, STEP 7 V5.3 SP1 is the minimum requirement for STARTER V4.1 SP3. STEP7 V5.3 SP2 is the minimum requirement for the SINUMERIK NCU7x0 device types. If STARTER V4.1 SP3 is used in conjunction with PROFINET (CBE20 or CU310 PN), STEP7 V5.3 SP2 is the minimum requirement for the SINUMERIK NCU7x0 device types. If STARTER V4.1 SP3 is used in conjunction with PROFINET (CBE20 or CU310 PN), Version 5.4 is the minimum STEP 7 requirement. If the DCC editor on the STARTER DVD is to be installed and used, then the minimum requirements according to SIMATIC CFC V7.0 SP1 HF3 apply with regards to STEP 7 and CFC. This CFC version V7.0 SP1 HF3 is also part of the STARTER DVD, and is not released for the operating systems MS VISTA Business and MS VISTA Ultimate. STARTER V4.1 SP3 can be operated with Drive ES Basic V5.3 SP3 or higher and Step 7 V5.3 SP1 or higher. A new STARTER version can overwrite any existing Drive ES basic installation.

1.5

Special Characteristics of the MS Windows Vista Operating System

Note that MS Windows Vista offers an extended protection concept . This means that access to protected areas of the file system, such as the directories "Programs" and "Windows", is virtualized , Your data will be forwarded by the operating system in such a case to non-protected areas. . Note that the software under MS Windows is no longer available at "Start menu> SIMATIC", but under "Start menu > Programs > Automation > SIMATIC" This change is caused by the current architecture of MS Window Vista. Any information listed in the documentation and online help has to be interpreted accordingly.

Setting the access rights in the operating system Important changes have been made to the MS Windows Vista safety concept in STEP 7 V5.4 SP4. This concept is used in case of a new installation (STEP 7 has never been installed on this computer. In this case, most settings, such as the STEP 7 language and mnemonic method are user-defined. This means users can make settings using a PC and their login information. An exception is the setting of the configuration language for the PG/PC interface. A user group Siemens TIA Engineer will be created under MS Windows Vista. The installer will automatically be added to this user group. Users from this user group have additional rights, such as configuration of the PG/PC interface and installation of the hardware support packages as well as for global setting of the STEP 7 language and mnemonic for all users of the Siemens TIA Engineer group. This language setting does also apply for the configuration of the PG/PC interface. For manual IP configuration of the PGs (for PROFINET without DHCP), the user must also be added to the preinstalled user group Network configuration operators. The administrator has to assign these user rights. Note: If STEP 7 V5.4 SP4 is installed on top of an existing version of STEP 7, the settings will be specific for a particular PC. It is possible that other software packages may alter the software concept so that these settings may become PC-specific at a later date. User account control User account control (UAC) must be active for operation of STEP 7 under MS Windows Vista. Operation without UAC is only possible with elevated access rights (for example, administrator. Set up domain global user group "Siemens TIA Engineer" For operation in a domain, you can create a domain global user group that will be mapped to the local user groups "Siemens TIA Engineer" and "Network configuration operators". The following prerequisites will have to be met: The domain administrator has created a domain global user group. The domain administrator has added users to the domain global user group whose login will be used for access to STEP 7. Editing projects You need at least "Siemens TIA-Engineer" rights to reconfigure the PG/PC interface. These rights are also required for the following example: A project can include an implicit configuration of the PG/PC interface (PG/PC). If the PG/PC interface in such a project was implicitly reconfigured by a user with "Siemens TIA-Engineer" rights, then operators with user rights will not be able to undo this configuration. This means you will not be able to work online again until an operator with Siemens TIA-Engineer" rights has reconfigured the PG/PC interface. Otherwise operators will see the following alarm: "Insufficient user rights for operation of STEP 7."

Note

Do not use the hibernate / standby function under MS Windows Vista.

Installing and removing the software

Installing

STARTER V4.1 SP3 can only be installed with administrator rights on the PC/PG. Ensure that the log-in after the reboot is also performed with the same log-in as used at the start of the installation. The setup is started with the following call from the DVD drive: DVD drive: \CD_1\Setup.exe The installation program guides you through the whole installation procedure step-by-step. The installation runs automatically through the following phases: The setup checks for previously installed STARTER versions If an older STARTER version is already installed it will automatically be removed when installing V4.1 SP3.

2.2 2.3

Operating Additional information for installation when using user profiles

Administrator rights are required for operating STARTER.

When using user profiles which are to be stored on a central server, it must be ensured that all user computer drives are configured in the same way. E.g. the local drive on one computer must not have the same designation as the CD-ROM drive on another. If this is not the case the setup may be interrupted with the general error code 1603 and cannot be continued. In this case an error log will be generated InstallCheckRequiremenstLog.txt. If this is the case, please call our hotline (telephone +49 (0)180 5050 222; Web address: www.siemesn.com/automation/service&support).

2.4

Note for installation procedure

The computer may have to be restarted when performing the setup of STARTER. The setup automatically continues the installation. Please do not remove the CD or other data media from which you have started the startup. If you have started the installation from a network drive, the setup may abort with an error message after the restart. Please check whether the network drive was correctly connected at the restart. If not, reconnect the network drive and restart the setup. It continues with the installation. If after a restart during the STARTER installation the following message appears: "The following program could not be installed: <installationpath>\setup.exe", then please copy the entire setup to a local drive and restart the setup.

Important Information 3 Important notes / function restrictions

Note the general conditions and function restrictions for STARTER. These are described in the file STARTER_V41_SP3_Restrictions.pdf. The corrected general conditions compared to the previous versions are described in the file STARTER_V41_SP3_fixed_Restrictions.pdf

3.1

General
German, English, French, Spanish and Italian language settings are possible with STARTER V4.1 SP3. Complete operator control of the STARTER is only possible with a mouse. Note on executing the functions "Upload" and "Import": Please only execute these functions with closed expert list and screen forms. If STARTER crashes during operation, please exit all S7* and U7* processes in the task manager before restarting. The STARTER application must be exited before logging off as user or shutting down the operating system. The project must be closed before exiting. When operating with Windows 2000, the decimal separator in the regional settings must match the set country setting under "Regions & language options" in the system control. The USB PC adapter with the order number "6ES7972-0CB20-0XA0" is not supported.

3.2 Operating instructions

The connection of the drive to the commissioning software is carried out via a point-to-point connection (MICROMASTER and SINAMICS G110/G120:USS (RS232) or via a USS network (RS485)) or via PROFIBUS or via PROFINET.

3.3

Procedure if problems occur when establishing a connection

The following steps should be executed in succession under the menu Options -> Set PG/PC interface: Procedure for USS: 1. Perform baud rate scan via: Properties -> Interface -> Read After the scan, the baud rate found is displayed in the right-hand field. 2. This baud rate is set in the PG/PC: Properties -> Interface -> Baud Rate 3. Perform diagnostics function (a new window appears, "Automatic slave recognition"); "Test slaves" should be activated here. The node addresses found are displayed (this function checks whether the connection generally functions). 4. Now go to the Accessible nodes item in the project and activate this. STARTER will now identify the connected converter types with the appropriate addresses. 5. The drive units with node address and drive unit type (FW version) are displayed in the Accessible Nodes window. The drive units can be selected here and taken into the project.

Procedure for PROFIBUS: 1. This baud rate is set in the PG/PC: Properties -> Interface -> Baud Rate 2. Perform diagnostics function. The node addresses found are displayed (this function checks whether the connection generally functions). 3. Now go to the Accessible nodes item in the project and activate this. STARTER will now identify the connected converter types with the appropriate addresses. 4. The drive units with node address and drive unit type (FW version) are displayed in the Accessible Nodes window. The drive units can be selected here and taken into the project.

Procedure for PROFINET: 1. Select "TCP/IP (AUTO)" with the correct Ethernet card as interface setting in "Set PG/PC interface". 2. Assign subnet mask and IP address for the used Ethernet card. 3. Then go to "Accessible nodes" in the "Project" menu and confirm these. STARTER now performs an identification of the connected converter types with the corresponding IP addresses. 4. The drive units with node address and drive unit type (FW version) are displayed in the "Accessible Nodes" window. The desired drive units can be selected here and taken into the project. If a drive unit does not have a valid IP address, this must be assigned first. To do this, select the drive unit without an IP address or without a valid IP address in the "Accessible Nodes" window and right-click. "Edit Ethernet node" in the context menu opens a dialog box in which an IP address and a name can be assigned. This procedure is also referred to as the "initial designation" of the node. For detailed information in STARTER, select the menu "Help -> Getting Started" and navigate to the "Commission drives -> G120, G120D, ET200, ET200pro -> Communication via PROFINET -> Search for device ONLINE and insert in project" entry in the table of contents and follow the procedure described there. Note: An alternative STARTER access can be set at the menu item Options -> Settings -> Access point. If this setting is selected, STARTER always goes online via this alternative access point irrespective of the setting which has been made at Set PG/PC interface.

4.1

STARTER general
ONLINE settings bus type USS (MICROMASTER 4, SINAMICS G110)

Select bus type USS in the STARTER menu Options ->Set PG/PC interface. Changes will take effect on completing this dialog. It is recommended that the baud rate be set as high as possible in order to achieve a high communication performance. For USS bus operation, a RS232 to RS485 converter is required. It is recommended that this converter should have electrical isolation and be capable of operating at a minimum of 9600 Baud. If your PC/PG only has USB interfaces instead of the RS232 interface, you can use standard USB<->RS232 adapters. Please make sure that you use up-to-date drivers from the respective manufacturers. The following adapters are used for testing: Conrad USB modem adapter, order no. 98 24 17 (www.conrad.de) Roline USB to serial 9-pin converter, order no. 12.02.1086; (www.roline.com) SITECOM USB serial cable CN-104 - USB to serial; (www.sitecom.com) Ensure that the automatic operation is selected in the PG/PC setting for PC COM port in the "RS485" tab. Otherwise, online operation with a USB adapter on the RS232 is not possible.

4.2

ONLINE settings bus type PROFIBUS

Select bus type PROFIBUS in the STARTER menu Options->Set PG/PC interface. Changes will take effect on completing this dialog. An appropriate PROFIBUS communication card for the PC (e.g. CP5611) is required for PROFIBUS bus operation.

4.3

General conditions and function restrictions

Please observe the following general conditions and function restrictions: Note on online changes: Please explicitly save the changed parameter values in the drive with Copy RAM to ROM and back up with an upload to the PC. STARTER is not released for operation on SINUMERIK 802D solution line. "Save in old project format" is not released. Control panel: If control priority is assumed, the SPACE BAR is used by Starter. It is now blocked as a function for other programs.

4.4

Note to operating the control panel and the effect on the drive unit with respect to the "Stop drive" function

Deactivate checkbox ON OFF2

OFF1

Space bar: OFF3

If for an active control panel and turning motor, the selection in STARTER gets lost (for example, when the screensaver switches on or when a switch is made to a different program), OFF 3 will be performed for safety reasons, because, in this case, the drive can no longer be operated from the control panel and, in an emergency, the drive cannot be switched off sufficiently fast. 4.4.1 Assume control priority Safety notes: The function is released exclusively for commissioning, diagnostic and service purposes. The function should generally only be used by authorized technicians. The safety shutdowns from the higher-level control are ineffective. The function "Emergency stop with the space bar" is not guaranteed in all operating modes. Therefore, there must be an EMERGENCY STOP circuit in the hardware. The appropriate measures must be taken by the user. Please make sure that the drive is in the "OFF" mode and that no ON/OFF1 command from control word STW1 or from another signal (e.g. BICO interconnection) is pending. After transferring the control priority to the PC, the BICO interconnections on Bit 1 to Bit 6 of the control word are not effective. Tip: To shorten the response time, it is recommended that the baud rate be increased and that all windows that are not required be closed.

4.4.2 Return control priority Make sure that no ON command from the CPU (automation) is pending. Before removing the control priority, the PC removes all enables, BUT the setpoints and commands subsequently come from the parameterized source again. If a setpoint is pending, the drive reacts immediately!! This can be dangerous!!

4.5

STARTER operation on the PROFIBUS

STARTER can be operated directly on the PROFIBUS line. When communicating via various networks (routing), an online connection can only be established to a certain number of converters (depending on how many connections are supported by the PLC control CPU (router)). Selection options if an online connection is desired: - Menu function Target system -> Select target devices - Select drive unit in the project navigator, right-click and select "Online connection".

4.6

STARTER operation via PPI serial interface

A serial interface (COM) must be available on the PC from which the connection is to be established.

Settings
1. Select the Serial cable (PPI) interface in STARTER via Project > Set PC/PG interface. If it is not available in the selection list, you must first add it using Select.

2. Make the following settings. Important: the station address may not be set to 3. The highest node address must be set to 15.

NOTE Stable connections are only achieved with a transmission rate of 19.2 kbit/s (default value). Connection problems can occur with faster transmission rates. 3. The address set at the PROFIBUS address switch is not relevant for the PPI connection. 4. Set bus address "3" in the STARTER project when creating the drive unit.

5. The connecting cable from the CU3x0 to the PC must be connected to x140 for the CU320 and to X22 for the CU310. A null modem cable must be connected there. Null modem cable: Sub-D Sub-D Socket Socket 9-pin 9- pin Pin 2 Pin 3 Pin 5 ------Pin 3 Pin 2 Pin 5

The null modem cable used must comply with the defined Standard RS232. A suitable Siemens cable can be ordered under MLFB 6ES7 901-1BF00-0XA0. 6. This interface may not be used as a diagnostics interface. Check whether p9930[1] = 0 and p2039 = 0. (this can only be checked by service personnel with access level 4).

4.7

STARTER operation with G120 CU230P-2 via USB interface

1. Prior to the first use of the USB interface, you have to install the USB driver on the PC. To do so, please use the USB driver from the enclosed package of the G120 CU230P-2. 2. Then determine the system-assigned COM port in the Windows system control/device manager/ports. Check the COM port number assigned by the system which is shown between the brackets.. This must be smaller than 8. If this is not the case, you have to select a number between 0 and 7. 3. In the STARTER, select under settings / PG/PC interface the PC COM port (USS), and set the

COM port number of the USB interface under settings. 4. Then set the baud rate as described for USS (the factory setting for G120 CU230P-2 is 115.2 kbit/s) 5. of the For further information on how to use the USB interface, please refer to the documentation G120 CU230P-2.

Information on MICROMASTER 4th generation

Communication

USS via RS232: with the aid of the PC-converter assembly kit 6SE6400-1PC00-0AA0 for MICROMASTER 420, 430, 440 PC-converter assembly kit 6SE6400-0PL00-0AA0 for MICROMASTER 410 Interface connection cable 6SE6401-1BL00-0AA0 for MICROMASTER 411. USS via RS485: Communication is performed using interface converters and the following connection terminals MICROMASTER 410: Terminals 9 + 10, MICROMASTER 420: Terminals 14 + 15 MICROMASTER 440/430: Terminals 29 + 30. To establish an online connection to the drive, the following general conditions should be checked: Set up the correct access port on the PG/PC (under Set PG/PC interface: S7ONLINE --> PC COM Port (USS)) The baud rate on the MICROMASTER 4xx (P2010[0] for RS485) and the baud rate of the PG/PC (under PG/PC interface) must be the same The address on the MICROMASTER 4xx (P2010[0] for RS485) and that of the STARTER (drive unit properties) must be the same The RS232 interface of the PG/PC should not be occupied by another program. PROFIBUS: The PROFIBUS module (6SE640X-1PB00-0AA0) is used on the converter.

5.2

Important Notes and Recommendations:

Communication between STARTER and MICROMASTER 4xx Please ensure that the set addresses of the MICROMASTER drives on the USS bus are different! If the drives have the same addresses, unintended operation of these drives is possible. The terminating resistors supplied with the converters are to be used as described. USS networking with PLC via RS485: When commissioning with STARTER, the parameter P2014[0] (USS message frame downtime) is set to zero (message frame monitoring disabled). Please check the setting of P2014[0] after commissioning with STARTER. P2012[0] = 4 and P2013[0] = 127 (variable length) are set for the online connection of STARTER. This means that the control priority of the PLC can be lost. The baud rate should be set to 57600, with MICROMASTER 440/430 to 115200. Using the control panel with a baud rate of less equal 9600 is not recommended.

It is possible that the device is not recognized during a baud rate test / diagnosis. In this case the baud rate and the address must be entered manually. Control panel Controlling the drive via the control panel: To reduce the response time between the PC and the drive, please close the technological dialog boxes (e.g. Terminals/Bus) and parameter list or switch off the dialog box update. The response time is also influenced by the set baud rate and the performance of the PC. Control priority at the PG/PC is not possible with a parameterized OFF function in P845 and P849. The setpoint cannot be set via the drive control panel when the PID controller is active. Download Note when working in offline mode with STARTER: If in offline mode the motor data is to be set via the expert list, please also set P340 = 1 before downloading these settings. The P14 parameter determines the memory type (RAM/EEPROM) of the parameter values in the converter written online by STARTER. P14 should have the value 0, in which case the parameter values are stored in the RAM of the converter. USS bus operation with MICROMASTER 440 with Version 2.06: The drive can go offline after a download via STARTER; power off/on of the drive is required before going online again. Download (loading from PC to the drive) and upload (loading from drive to PC) with MICROMASTER 410 V1.02: The error message with regard to P1248 is irrelevant and can be ignored. Function restriction The "Trace / Function Generator" and "Measuring Function" buttons do not work with MICROMASTER devices. The configuration of BICO interconnections should generally be carried out in online mode. Conversion of projects: The displayed error messages are to be understood as warnings. These parameters should be checked again in the expert list to ensure that the correct values have been accepted. Note the general conditions and function restrictions. They are described in the file STARTER_V41_SP3_Restrictions.pdf. The fixed restrictions are described in the file STARTER_V41_SP3_fixed_Restrictions.pdf

Information on SINAMICS G110

Communication

USS via RS232: with the aid of the PC-converter connection kit (6SL3255-0AA00-2AA0) for SINAMICS G110. The SINAMICS G110 USS converters must be disconnected from the USS bus before fitting the PC-converter connection kit. USS via RS485: SINAMICS G110 USS variant: Terminal 8 + 9 and an external interface converter. The bus terminating resistors should be connected to the two end devices of the bus.

To establish an online connection to the drive, the following should be checked: a) Set up the correct access port on the PG/PC (under Set PG/PC interface: S7ONLINE --> PC COM port (USS)) b) The baud rate on the SINAMICS G110 (P2010) and the baud rate of the PG/PC (under PG/PC interface) must be the same c) The address on the SINAMICS G110 (P2011) and of the drive unit in the STARTER project (drive unit properties) must be the same d) The RS232 interface of the PG/PC should not be occupied by another program.

7.2

Important Notes and Recommendations:

Communication between STARTER and SINAMICS G110 Please ensure that the set addresses of the MICROMASTER/SINAMICS G110 USS drives on the USS bus are different! If the drives have the same addresses, unintended starting of these drives is possible. The baud rate should be set to 57600 (P2010). Simultaneous use of RS232 and RS485 is not possible. Download Note when working in offline mode with STARTER: If in offline mode the motor data is to be set via the expert list, please also set P340 = 1 before downloading these settings. Control panel With parameterized OFF2/OFF3 functions via digital inputs P701-P704, these functions are active, even with active control priority with STARTER. To reduce the response time between the PC and the drive, please close the technological dialog boxes (e.g. Terminals/Bus) or switch off the dialog box update. The response time is also influenced by the set baud rate and the performance of the PC. Function restriction The "Trace / Function Generator" and "Measuring Function" buttons do not work with the SINAMICS G110. Note for SINAMICS G110 variants: If there is a difference between the G110 configured offline (e.g. analog device) and the G110 connected online (e.g. USS device), then no corresponding message is signalled with "Connect to target system". If an upload is performed, the online device type (e.g. USS device here) is taken into the data management in the PC. This can subsequently not be changed with respect to the type. Firmware Version V1.0.x and V1.1.x: Parameter P70x should be set to 21. Please check the current settings (online mode) of the P70x parameters after a download; because of a FW error, the parameter assumes the value 0 (= blocked) during a download. Note the general conditions and function restrictions. They are described in the file STARTER_V41_SP3_Restrictions.pdf. The fixed restrictions are described in the file STARTER_V41_SP3_fixed_Restrictions.pdf

8 Information on SIMATIC ET200S FC, ET200pro FC

8.1 Communication
USS via RS232: with the aid of a SIEMENS RS232 cable (6ES7901-1BF00-0XA0), a point-to-point connection can be established to the converter (RS232 sub D interface on ICU front). To establish an online connection to the drive, the following should be checked: a) Set up the correct access port on the PG/PC (under Set PG/PC interface: S7ONLINE --> PC COM Port (USS)). b) The baud rate on the ET200S FC and ET200pro FC (P2010[1]; default setting 38.4 KBaud) and the baud rate of the PG/PC (under PG/PC interface) must be the same. c) The address on the ET200S FC and ET200pro FC (P2011[1]) is always "0". The address of the drive unit in the STARTER project (drive unit properties) must also be "0".

d)

The RS232 interface of the PG/PC should not be occupied by another program.

PROFIBUS With S7-400 CPUs, the data record routing function is supported from firmware version 5.1.1 onwards. This means that the connection between PG/PC and the frequency converter in the S7-400 CPU is routed across network boundaries, e.g. from MPI to PROFIBUS. PROFINET When communicating via PROFINET from PG/PC to ET200 FC, only one converter can be simultaneously switched online behind an ET200 PROFINET IM. This is because the ET200 IM is limited to one application relationship (AR). If ET200 frequency converters are used behind Profinet headers, the following boundary conditions must be observed: 1. The Profinet headers must have version 6.0 or higher. 2. ET200 frequency converters firmware V3.0 HF1 (V03.00.56.03). Version 3.0 HF1 has not yet been released with V6.0 headers for ET200s.

8.2

Important Notes and Recommendations:

Control panel The optimal use of the control panel is achieved with a high baud rate (> 38.4 kBaud) or when the working area (expert list) is closed. Download Parameter P14 defines the memory type (RAM/EEPROM) of the parameter values in the converter written by STARTER online. P14 should have the value 0, so that the parameter values are saved in the RAM of the converter. Safety functions The parameters of the safety functions can only be changed in online mode. For safety reasons, it is not possible to transfer these parameters to the converter via a download. When converting a project with safety converters, these are converted to non-safety converters during the conversion. When going online, inconsistency is signalled. The converters must be converted to safety in the navigation tree in the STARTER project via "Configure drive unit". With the safety variant of the ET200S FC, it may occur that the error message F1600 cannot be acknowledged via the "acknowledgement button" in STARTER. In this case, the error can be acknowledged in the expert list by setting parameter P952 (sum of the saved errors) to 0. Function restriction The "Trace / Function Generator" and "Measuring Function" buttons do not work with the ET200S FC and ET200pro FC. Recommendation: The configuration of BICO interconnections should generally be carried out in online mode. For ET200S FC and ET200pro FC V1.0, it is not possible to parameterize the encoder using the wizard, this means the encoder can only be activated from the expert list (in the help, refer to encoders or also P1300[3] control type or P0400[3] encoder type selection). Note the general conditions and function restrictions. They are described in the file STARTER_V41_SP3_Restrictions.pdf. The fixed restrictions are described in the file STARTER_V41_SP3_fixed_Restrictions.pdf

Information on SINAMICS G120, G120D

Communication

USS via RS232: with the aid of a SIEMENS RS232 cable (6SL3255-0AA00-2AA0)), a point-to-point connection can be established to the converter. To establish an online connection to the drive, the following should be checked: a) Set up the correct access port on the PG/PC (under Set PG/PC interface: S7ONLINE --> PC COM Port (USS)). b) The baud rate on the SINAMICS G120 and G120D (P2010[1]; default setting 38.4 KBaud) and the baud rate of the PG/PC (under PG/PC interface) must be the same. c) The address on the SINAMICS G120 and G120D (P2011[1]) is always "0". The address of the drive unit in the STARTER project (drive unit properties) must also be "0". d) The RS232 interface of the PG/PC should not be occupied by another program. USS via RS485: Communication is performed using an interface converter (RS232/RS485) and the sub D interface (RS485 interface, USS) of the G120 CU. To establish an online connection to the drive, the following general conditions should be checked: Set up the correct access port on the PG/PC (under Set PG/PC interface: S7ONLINE --> PC COM-Port (USS)). The baud rate on the SINAMICS G120 (P2010[0] for RS485) and the baud rate of the PG/PC (under PG/PC interface) must be the same. The address on the SINAMICS G120 (P2011[0] for RS485) and the address of the STARTER (drive unit properties) must be the same. The RS232 interface of the PG/PC should not be occupied by another program. Important notes: Please ensure that the set addresses of the drives on the USS bus are different! If the drives have the same addresses, unintended operation of these drives is possible. Please use an appropriate sub D connector version with integrated terminating resistor for the termination of the RS485 bus on a SINAMICS G120, G120D device. USS networking with PLC via RS485: When commissioning with STARTER, the parameter P2014[0] (USS message frame downtime) is set to zero (message frame monitoring disabled). Please check the setting of P2014 [0] after commissioning with STARTER. P2012[0] = 4 and P2013[0] = 127 (variable length) are set for the online connection of STARTER. This means that the control priority of the PLC can be lost. PROFIBUS: Sub D interface of the PROFIBUS Control Unit (CU).

Important Notes and Recommendations:

Communication Please ensure that the set addresses of the drives on the USS bus are different! If the drives have the same addresses, unintended operation of these drives is possible. Please use an appropriate sub D connector version with integrated terminating resistor for the termination of the RS485 bus on a SINAMICS G120, G120D device. USS networking with PLC via RS485: When commissioning with STARTER, the parameter

P2014[0] (USS message frame downtime) is set to zero (message frame monitoring disabled). Please check the setting of P2014[0] after commissioning with STARTER. P2012[0] = 4 and P2013[0] = 127 (variable length) are set for the online connection of STARTER. This means that the control priority of the PLC can be lost. The use of the STARTER with CU230P-2 DP via Profibus is presently only possible directly, i.e. the PC with the STARTER must be connected via the same Profibus strand as the CU230P-2. A routing connection via a SIMATIC S7 CPU/CP is presently not possible. Safety The parameters of the safety functions can only be changed in online mode. For safety reasons, it is not possible to transfer these parameters to the converter via a download. Control panel The optimal use of the control panel is achieved with a high baud rate (> 38.4) or when the working area (expert list) is closed. In the case of the G120 CU230P-2, the use of the control panel via the RS485/USS interface is not possible. Download Parameter P14 defines the memory type (RAM/EEPROM) of the parameter values in the converter written by STARTER online. P14 should have the value 0, so that the parameter values are saved in the RAM of the converter. Function restriction The "Trace / Function Generator" and "Measuring Function" buttons do not work with the SINAMICS G120, G120D.
