Integrating ET 200 frequency converters into automation systems
with STEP 7
General information on STEP 7
STEP 7 is the basic package for configuring and programming SIMATIC automation
systems. It forms part of the SIMATIC industrial software. There are several versions of the
basic STEP 7 package. "STEP 7 for SIMATIC S7 300/400 applications" is required for
integrating frequency converters into the ET 200pro. You can find more information on STEP
7 in the STEP 7 manuals.
Integrating frequency converters into SIMATIC S7
With STEP 7, you integrate the frequency converter into a SIMATIC S7 control via
PROFIBUS DP or via PROFINET IO. Communication is established using standard
PROFIdrive telegrams according to the PROFIdrive profile 4.1.
Within the PROFIBUS system the SIMATIC automation device represents the master,
whereas the ET 200pro station with the PROFIBUS interface module and other components
such as frequency converters or I/O modules represent the slave.
In PROFINET IO, the SIMATIC automation system is designated as the I/O controller and
the ET 200pro station with the PROFINET interface module and other components (such as
frequency converters or I/O modules) are designated as field device.
Communication within the ET 200pro system takes place via the ET 200pro backplane bus.
