3.1 Basics regarding SINAMICS V90 PN version
When SINAMICS V90 PN works in the speed control mode (S mode), the following
telegrams are supported:
 Standard telegram 1
 Standard telegram 2
 Standard telegram 3
 Standard telegram 5
 Siemens telegram 102
 Siemens telegram 105

NOTE Siemens telegram 105 is only available with TIA Portal V14, the Hardware
Support Package for V90PN for TIA Portal and in combination with S7-1500 /
1500T.

The standard telegram 1 can be used only for RT mode. The standard telegram 2,
the standard telegram 3 and the standard telegram 102 can be used either for RT
mode or IRT mode depending on the IO controller. The standard telegram 5 and
 Siemens AG 2018 All rights reserved

the standard telegram 105 can only support IRT mode and be used with TIA Portal
V14 or higher.
The telegrams 1, 2 and 102 are used for speed control axis while telegrams 3, 5
and 105 are used for positioning axis because these telegrams contain the actual
position of the encoder (Gn_XIST1).
If SIMATIC S7-1200 is used for positioning control then the TO (Technology
Object) Positioning axis has to be used. The TO Positioning axis only supports the
standard telegrams 1, 2 and 3.
Thus, the standard telegram 3 will be used in this basic application.

3.2 Basic information about using NON-isochronous

communication between PLC and drive
PROFINET IO is a scalable real-time communication system based on the Layer 2
protocol for Fast Ethernet. With the RT transmission method, two real-time-support
performance levels are available for time-critical process data and IRT for high
accuracy and also isochronous processes.

(Isochronous Real-Time)

PROFINET with RT
(Real-Time)
 Siemens AG 2018 All rights reserved

Real-time Communication (RT)

PROFINET IO with real-time communication (RT) is the ideal solution for
integrating IO systems. This is a solution that also uses standard Ethernet in the
devices and commercially available industrial switches as infrastructure
components. A special hardware support is not required.
PROFINET IO frames have priority over standard frames in accordance with
IEEE802.1Q. This ensures the required determinism in the automation technology.
The data is transferred via prioritized Ethernet frames.
With RT, you can achieve update times ≥ 250 μs with RT.

NOTE SIMATIC S7-1200 works only with RT communication.

Isochronous Real-time Communication (IRT)

IRT is a synchronized communication protocol for cyclic exchange of IRT data
between PROFINET devices. A reserved bandwidth is available in the send cycle
for IRT data. The reserved bandwidth ensures that the IRT data can be transferred
at reserved synchronized intervals, without being influenced by higher other
network loads (such as TCP/IP communication, or additional real-time
communication).
Topology configuration is a prerequisite for IRT.
In addition to the reserved bandwidth, the telegrams from defined transmission
paths are exchanged for the further optimization of data transfers. For this, the
topological information from the configuration is used for planning the
communication. Thus, transmission and reception points of every individual data
telegram at every communication node are guaranteed. This allows you to achieve

Position Control with S7-1200 and V90 via IRT Profinet

Entry-ID: 109743917, V1.1, 05/2018 8
 3 Basics

optimal usage of the bandwidth and reach the best possible performance in the
PROFINET IO system.
Use of IRT allows you to achieve update times with highest deterministics ≥ 250 µs
and a jitter accuracy of the send clock < 1 µs. Isochronous applications are
possible with IRT.

Send clock
Send clock is the shortest possible time interval in data exchange.
The calculation of send clock should follow the formula below:
Send clock = 31.25 μs * Send Clock Factor

The send clock factor is 2n (n is an integral value from 0 to 9), while 31.25 μs is the
basic time unit.

Update time (Bus cycle time)

The update time is a time interval. IO controller and IO device/I-device exchange
IO data cyclically in the IO system within this time interval. The update time can be
configured separately for each IO device and determines the interval at which
output data is sent from the IO controller to the IO device (output
module/submodule) as well as input data from the IO device to the IO controller
(input module/submodule).
STEP 7 calculates the update time automatically in the default setting for each IO
device of the PROFINET IO system, taking into account the volume of data to be
exchanged as well as the set send clock.
The calculation of update time should follow the formula below:
Update time = 31.25 μs * Send Clock Factor * 2 = Send clock * 2

be changed according to actual application.

3.4 Recommendation of time setting with SIMATIC S7-1200

NOTICE Mechanical disturbance caused by unfavorable cycle times!

Unexpected mechanical disturbances can be caused by current and torque
disturbances.

NOTE When SINAMICS V90 PN works in RT communication, the minimum cycle time
is unchangeable and fixed to be 4 ms.

When SIMATIC S7-1200 is connected to SINAMICS V90 PN for positioning

control, OB91 (MC-Servo) must be used. The cycle time for OB91 can be changed
according to actual application requirements.
Usually, the following rules during the configuration of OB91 cycle time and bus
cycle time must be observed:
 The ratio between OB91 cycle time and Bus cycle time or vice versa must be
an even integral value
 The CPU capability must be considered

When SIMATIC S7-1500 is connected to SINAMICS V90 PN for positioning
control, you can select between RT communication and IRT communication.

NOTE In standard applications with S7-1500(T) and V90 PN the IRT communication is
recommended. If there is a necessary case to setup PROFINET RT then the
following description can be used.

When the RT communication has been selected, the cycle time for OB91 is
changeable and can be adjusted according to actual application.

In the following paragraph, we will use TO (Technology Object) of positioning axis
for programming and run the motor:

1. Add a new object by double-click “Add new object” from the project tree:

4. Make configurations step by step.

In this example, we firstly need to configure the type of drive to be
“PROFIdrive” under general information of basic parameters:

6. After that, change the steps per revolution to 2500 because an incremental
encoder with the resolution of 2500 ppr is used in our example:
