ProfiDrive Configuration

Main Configuration

ProfiDrive Configuration 1:

Profibus Address

The Profibus node address of the 611u ProfiDrive is setup on the Configuration tab. A double ProfiDrive has only one Profibus node address.

Encoder Type

The encoder type is shown on the Configuration tab. In case of an encoder, the number of encoder lines is shown on this screen and setup in P1005. In case of a resolver is P1005 set to 0.

Expert List

The Expert List of SimoComU (Windows-Key + E, Startup | Additional Parameters | Expert List) can be used to determine the parameters P880 (Speed Evaluation) and P1005 (IM Encoder Pulse Number). Those two parameters have to be entered in the NC ProfiDrive Configuration (see TwinCAT NC Configuration).

ProfiDrive Configuration 3:

Gearbox and Spindle Pitch

The gearbox between motor and load can be setup on the Mechanics screen. The spindle pitch is only available for linear axes.

The Gearbox and the spindle pitch must be setup only in one place, either in the drive Mechanics screen or through the NC Encoder Scaling Factor (see TwinCAT NC Configuration).

Profibus Telegram Selection

Telegram 5 (DSC)

With telegram type 5 the drive closes the position loop using the NC following error (lag) and a position gain KPC in the cyclic interface. The NC runs open loop in this case.

Telegram 3

With telegram type 3 the drive closes the velocity loop using. The NC closes the position loop in this case.

ProfiDrive Configuration 6:

Telegram Type 0

Telegram type 0 can be used to add parameters to telegram type 3 or 5. The telegram type can be changed with the Frame Selection on the Profibus Parameterization tab. The previous content of the cyclic profibus interface remains the same. After changing the telegram type, the EEPROM must be saved and the drive to be reset.

Now the new data can be added to the nominal values (Received Data) or to the actual values (Sent Data).

Auto Tuning

The ProfiDrive supports an auto tuning mechanism. For this purpose, the control has to be switched to [PC!], which means the drive ignores the cyclic Profibus interface and uses a terminal signal simulation.

ProfiDrive Configuration 9:
ProfiDrive Configuration 10:

The auto tuning is wizard guided.

ProfiDrive Configuration 11:

At the end of the tuning the tuning parameters have to be saved to the EEPROM.
