AKD PROFINET | 7 Sample Projects
7.1.3 Getting started
1. To use this example project, open the SIMATIC manager and retrieve the project zip file
(SimaticManager->File->Retrieve).
2. After the project is loaded, go to the hardware manager and check the communication
setup. If no AKD GSDML file is installed, the hardware manager will install it from the pro-
ject. If there is already an installation of the GSDML file, this step is not required.
3. Check the communication setup for your system in the hardware manager and adapt it to
your settings.
The initial setup for AKD is a static IP Address and an IO cycle time of 128 ms.
Change the IP addresses for AKD and the PLC to your specific setup.
4. Verify the hardware configuration in the hardware manager and click the “save and com-
pile” button in your configuration.
Verify the process-image input and output area of your plc and verify that is
greater than 256 byte or change the input/output start address of the AKD tele-
gram you choose. By default, the input is copied to start address 256 and the out-
put to start address 256.
5. In this example, the AKD shall be used in velocity mode. Therefore the “Standard Tele-
gram 1” (PROFIdrive) is chosen. The signals control word, speed set point as well as
status word and speed actual value are mapped to the IO-Data.
The AKD has to be set to DRV.OPMODE 1 for this operation.
