 1 Task

1 Task
The SIMATIC S7-1200 can be operated as a PROFINET controller. A PROFINET-
capable SINAMICS G120 drive can be used as PROFINET device and be
controlled by the SIMATIC S7-1200. The application description covers the
following drive types:
G120 with CU240E-2 PN (V 4.5) G120C PN (V 4.5)
G120D with CU240D-2 PN (V 4.5) G120P with CU230P-2 PN (V 4.5)
The abbreviation G120 used in this document refers to the above devices. Using
the example of a SINAMICS G120C with PROFINET interface illustrates how to
configure the drive, start it up, and access process data and parameters.

2.2 Description of the core functionality

2.2 Description of the core functionality

2.2.1 Configuring the communication

The SIMATIC controller as well as the SINAMICS converter are configured in TIA
Portal V12. Hence, they only require one software.

Note Entering communication parameters twice, as performed so far when using the
STARTER commissioning software, is no longer necessary. Also, a GSDML file
of the used SINAMICS drive does no longer need to be integrated into the
hardware catalog.

The IP addresses and PROFINET device names, as well as the I/O address areas
for the data to be exchanged between SIMATIC controller and SINAMICS drive,
are automatically created in the TIA Portal for the hardware configuration.
However, they can be modified at any time. The process data to be exchanged by
SIMATIC controller and SINAMICS drive is specified by the message frame type to
be used (in this example: SIEMENS Telegram 352) which you also configure in
the hardware configuration in the Properties of the SINAMICS drive
Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved

2.2.2 Data exchange

Data exchange between SINAMICS G120 and SIMATIC S7-1200 occurs in two
areas:
Process data,
i.e. control word(s) and setpoint(s), or status word(s) and real value(s)
Parameter area,
i.e. reading/writing of parameter values
Copyright

Cyclic process data exchange

Process data is transferred cyclically, which means in each bus cycle. The data is
transferred as quickly as possible.
The SIMATIC S7-1200 sends at least the control word and the setpoint value to
SINAMICS G120 and in return receives at least the status word and the actual
value.
Depending on the message frame type, two further setpoint or real values, or
extended control or status words respectively, can be transferred. The available
message frame types are available in chapter 8.1.4 of the SINAMICS G120C
operating instruction (/6/), for example.
On the controller side, the process data is supplied as I/O input or output
words. The data transfer is supported by STEP 7 instructions (DPRD_DAT,
DPWR_DAT).
In the SINAMICS drive, the configuration specifies which bits of the control
word are used and which data is transmitted to the SIMATIC controller.

Acyclic data exchange (parameter access)

To be able to transfer parameters, message frame types were also defined where
additionally four words are provided for a parameter transfer (SIEMENS Telegram
353 and 354 frames). Since these four words, like the process data, are always
transmitted cyclically, a permanent communication load is produced even though
the parameters themselves are generally only rarely required.

 2 Solution
2.3 Hardware and software components used

PROFINET also provides the option of using an acyclic data exchange in addition
to the cyclic data exchange, which is only inserted on demand. This makes it
possible to transfer the parameter area acyclically on demand, without creating a
permanent communication load. The acyclic transfer takes clearly longer than the
cyclic transfer of the process data.
In this example, the acyclic data exchange is used for parameter access and
message frame type Telegram 352 is used which does not support cyclic
parameter transfer.
For acyclic writing and reading of parameters, please proceed as follows:
In the SIMATIC S7-1200, parameter jobs are sent to the SIMATIC G120 by
writing data set 47, and the response of the SIMATIC G120 is received by
reading data set 47. These functions are supported by the STEP 7
instructions (RDREC, WRREC). A special hardware configuration is not
necessary. More information the structure of the data set is available in chapter
8.3.2.2 of the SINAMICS G120C operating instruction (/6/), for example.
No particular action is required on the SINAMICS G120 PN side.

Note If you do not select a message frame in the hardware configuration in the
Properties of the SINAMICS drive, STEP 7 enters the Standard telegram 1
frame (PZD-2/2).
Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved

Use it as well, for example (due to its conciseness), when your application is
restricted to acyclic writing and reading of drive parameters and you do not wish
to exchange process data.

4.1 Requirements
To be able to switch on the SINAMICS drive via the HMI panel or the watch table,
the following points must be fulfilled:
If you have configured the safety function4 Safe torque off (STO) (see chapter
6.2), the yellow SAFE LED lights up or blinks at the SINAMICS G120. With
permanent light, the SINAMICS drive can be started. With blinking light, the
STO safety function is active and the SINAMICS drive does not start up. As a
test procedure in this case, apply 24V (terminal 9) to the inputs DI 4 and 5
(terminals 16 and 17) of the SINAMICS G1205 and connect the reference
potential for these inputs (terminals 34 and 69) to earth (terminal 28).
24V must not be supplied at terminal 8 (DI 3), since otherwise the command
data set is switched over.

Note When using an IOP for controlling the SINAMICS drive, please ensure that the

5.1 Functionality of process data exchange

Figure 5-2: Functionality of process data exchange
Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved

The process data contains values which are regularly exchanged between
SIMATIC controller and SINAMICS converter. These values are at least the control
and status word as well as the setpoint speed and actual value. Selecting the
Copyright

message frame type specifies the exact length and structure.

The Siemens Telegram 352, PZD 6/6 message frame type used in the example
exchanges 6 words in both directions.

5.1.1 Accessing process data in the user program of the controller

At the start of the cycle, the operating system of SIMATIC S7-1200 stores the
(user) data received by the SINAMICS converter in the I/O input area of the CPU
and transmits the data stored in the I/O output area to the SINAMICS converter at
the end of the cycle. In the user program, the data can be accessed by copying
from or into the I/O area.
The address areas used are defined in the Devices & Networks editor. See step
14 and 15 in Table 6-1.

5.1.2 Standardizing the setpoint and actual values

The setpoint and actual values are transferred as standards. The standardization
and reference values are stored in parameters P2000 to P2006 of the
SINAMICS G120.
16384dec = 4000hex = 100% applies here, with 100% referring to the reference
value for the transferred variable.

Example:
If P2000 (reference speed or reference frequency) is 1500 1/min and if a speed
of 500 1/min shall be run, then 33% or 5461dec must be transferred.
Normalizing and denormalizing is performed in FC11 and FC12 in the application
example.
For more information, please refer to chapter 7 Configuring the field bus in the
operating instructions of the SINAMICS G120C (/6/).

5.1.3 Transfer method

To copy the process data into or from the I/O area, the following instructions
DPRD_DAT and DPWR_DAT are used:
These instructions ensure that the consistency is maintained across the entire
process data, i.e. all elements of the process data of a device are from the same
bus cycle or are transferred within a bus cycle. This is necessary, e.g. to enable a
distributed synchronization. In the example program, all of the 6 words are copied
consistently.
In the Instructions task card of the TIA Portal you will find the instructions under

Acyclic parameter access occurs parallel to the cyclic process data exchange. This
saves resources, since the data is only established on demand, i.e. when a
Copyright

parameter is to be transferred.
In the SIMATIC controller, the Write data set and Read data set functions must
be used for this. Data set 47 must always be used.
Writing data set 47 sends a job to the SINAMICS converter which performs the
job and provides a response. Reading data set 47 makes the response of the
SINAMICS converter available in the SIMATIC controller so it can be evaluated.
The instructions WRREC and RDREC are used in the SIMATIC controller for
reading and writing data sets.

5.2.1 Job and response structure

For the structure of the jobs and responses (data set 47) please refer, for example,
to chapter 7.2.6 Configuring the field bus, communication via PROFIBUS, acyclic
communication of the SINAMICS G120C operating instructions (/6/).

Note Since the structure of the data set to be sent or received depends on the number
of jobs and their number format, a generally valid structure cannot be used.

5.2 Parameter access functionality

5.2.2 The DBs read/write_drive_parameters and answer_from_drive

The job to access a parameter consists of at least 10 words. Therefore, the job
should be assembled in a DB or in the temporary data of a code block. In this
example, this is performed using DB 101 read_drive_parameters and DB 100
write_drive_parameters.
The response by the SINAMICS converter also consists of several words.
Therefore, the example uses DB 103 answer_from_drive.
A job may contain the access to several parameters. Since the length of the data to
be transferred per job depends on the number and data types of the converter
parameters, no generally valid structure can be devised.
Therefore, in this example, only the ramp-up and ramp-down times (P1120 and
P1121) and a part of the fault memory (P945.x) is accessed. The job to read the
parameters is stored in DB 101 read_drive_parameters. The job to write them is
stored in DB 100 write_drive_parameters.
The response of the SINAMICS converter is copied to DB 103
answer_from_drive. The structure contained therein corresponds to the structure
for a successful reading of the parameters.

Note Place the entire job into a structure (in this example: record). This gives you the

option to symbolically address the data set via the structure name (here record)

Calling the system functions WRREC and RDREC

Once the currently required control bits have been set in the sequencer of FB 20
Parameters, the WRREC instruction Write data set and the RDRE instruction
Read data set are called. They can be found in the instructions task card of the
TIA Portal under
> Extended Instructions
> Distributed I/O
Via the READ_WRITE input variable of FB20 it is selected which of the two calls
enables the WRREC instruction. Both calls only differ in which DB is sent to the
SINAMICS drive: the one to write parameters or the one to read parameters.

6.1 Creating the project configuration

Note If you only wish to download and commission the example program,
please follow the instructions in chapter 3 Setting up and
Commissioning the Application.
The procedure described in the step table below represents one option
of configuring a SIMATIC S7-1200 and parameterizing a SINAMICS
G120 PN for data exchange between SIMATIC controller and SINAMICS
drive. In the TIA Portal there are several solution options which more or
less differ from the procedure introduced here.

The step tables below describe what to do if you do not want to use the example
code, but wish to configure the SIMATIC S7 CPU, SINAMICS G120C and the HMI
KTP600. The configuration of the SIMATIC S7-1200 and the configuration of the
HMI control panel are not subject of this chapter.
A requirement is that the software has been installed on your PG/PC according to

6.3 Comments on programming the SIMATIC S7-1200

This chapter discusses particular points of programming.
The instructions and their formal parameters discussed below are described in the
online help of the TIA Portal and can be easily found in the information system via
the search function. The discussion only includes those parameters of the
instruction for which the online help only provides insufficient information regarding
the SINAMICS G120.

6.3.1 Configuring the DPRD_DAT/DPWR_DAT instruction

Table 6-2: DPRD_DAT/DPWR_DAT Parameterization of the instruction

Parameter Explanation
LADDR LADDR of type HW_SUBMODULE refers to an addressable component of
the IO device, hence the SINAMICS G120 PN. When according to step 16 of
Table 6-1selecting the Telegram 352 frame in the Device view of the
SINAMICS drive, STEP 7 creates system constants, which correspond to
logic IO addresses.
In the picture below, the decisive system constant has the value 275 (113h)
or the symbolic name Transfer_area_1[DI/DO]9. If
DPRD_DAT/DPWR_DAT are used for a PROFINET connection, the
Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved

respective system constant must be created for DPRD_DAT as well as for

DPWR_DAT at LADDR. When calling DPRD_DAT/DPWR_DAT you can
specify the LADDR parameter as decimal or hexadecimal value or adopt it
from the drop-down menu.
Copyright

(In the application, the system constant is transferred via the tags
RD_address and WR_address to the instructions DPRD_DAT and
DPWR_DAT. RD_address and WR_address are input parameters of the
calling block Process_Data, which in the Main [OB1] was supplied with
Transfer_area_1[DI].)

9
The symbolic name of the system constant depends on the selected frame type and the
project language. Using the Standard telegram 1 frame, for example, would give the system
constant the name Setpoint_Actual_value_1[DI/DO]. The value of the constant in the above
picture may deviate from that in the example project.

6.3 Comments on programming the SIMATIC S7-1200

Parameter Explanation
RECORD RECORD of type VARIANT is a pointer with specified length. It points to a
data area in the PLC in which the data read from the SINAMICS drive is
stored or from which the data to be written to the drive is fetched. The data
area must have the same length as the I/O area addressed by LADDR.

In the application example, RECORD is addressed symbolically10. For

InData a field in the temporary data area of Process_Data was used,
consisting only of six words (Array [1 .. 6] Of Word), according to the length
of the Telegram 352 frame. Since InData is a temporary tag, an absolute
access is not possible.

6.3.2 Configuration the RDREC/WRREC instruction

Table 6-3: RDREC/WRREC Configuration of the instruction

Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved

Parameter Explanation
ID ID has the same function as the LADDR parameter for
DPRD_DAT/DPWR_DAT (see Table 6-2).
Even if you only wish to use the acyclic services in your communication
with the SINAMICS G120, a cyclic data exchange will be configured by
STEP 7. In this case, however, you can select the Standard Telegram 1
frame (default setting) with the smallest data length.
LEN When unfolding the block by clicking on the small triangle, additionally,
(at WRREC)
Copyright

the input parameter LEN appears for specifying the maximal length of
the data set to be transferred.

Since in this example the data set length is contained in the RECORD
parameter, LEN needs not be configured. Keep the default value 0.

MLEN Maximum length of the data set information to be read in bytes.

(at RDREC) Since in this example the data set length is contained in the RECORD
parameter as well, MLEN needs not be configured. Keep the default
value 0.

10
For symbolic addressing, the length to be specified in RECORD is specified implicitly by the
structure of the actual parameter.
