Engineering via
interface adapters
If your unit supports the "SBus" or "Serial" communication options, you can use a suit-
able interface adapter for engineering.
The interface adapter is additional hardware that you can obtain from SEW-
EURODRIVE. You can use it to connect your engineering PC with the respective
communication option of the unit.
The type of interface adapter you require depends on the communication options of the
respective unit.
Establishing com-
munication with
other units
The SEW Communication Server is integrated into the MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio
software package for establishing communication with the units.
The SEW Communication Server allows you to create
communication channels
.
Once the channels are established, the units communicate via these communication
channels using their communication options. You can operate up to four communication
channels at the same time.
MOVITOOLS

MotionStudio supports the following types of communication channels:
• Serial (RS485) via interface adapters
• System bus (SBus) via interface adapters
• Ethernet
• EtherCAT
®
• Fieldbus (PROFIBUS DP/DP-V1)
• Tool Calling Interface
The available channels can vary depending on the unit and its communication options.
Executing func-
tions of the units
The software package offers uniformity in executing the following functions:
• Parameterization (e. g. in the parameter tree of the unit)
• Startup
• Visualization and diagnostics
• Programming
The following basic components are included in the MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio
software package, allowing you to use the units to execute functions:
• MotionStudio
• MOVITOOLS
