Integration of SIMOCODE pro as an S7 slave via OM SIMOCODE pro
The "OM SIMOCODE pro" software must be installed to utilize the advantages of
SIMOCODE ES and parameterize SIMOCODE pro from the STEP7 HW Config.
OM SIMOCODE pro is included in the scope of supply of the "SIMOCODE ES Premium"
software.
Install the software accordingly.
The following table describes how to insert SIMOCODE pro into STEP7 HW Config from the
hardware catalog.

Step
STEP7
1
Start STEP7 and open the "HW Config."
2
To integrate SIMOCODE pro as an S7 slave, navigate through the hardware
catalog to directory "PROFIBUS DP
→ Switching Devices
→ Motor Management
System"
3
Enter SIMOCODE pro C, SIMOCODE pro S, SIMOCODE pro V (basic type 1) or SIMOCODE pro S,
SIMOCODE pro V (basic type 2) on the PROFIBUS.
For SIMOCODE pro S and SIMOCODE pro V only.
SIMOCODE pro S and SIMOCODE pro V can be integrated into two basic types (basic type 1 or basic
type 2) (see Chapter Cyclic data (Page 17)).
Enter the desired basic type "Basic type 1" or "Basic type 2" as the module.
Only in conjunction with the fail-safe digital module DM-F PROFIsafe:
Enter the desired basic type "Basic type 1 - PROFIsafe" or "Basic type 2 - PROFIsafe" as the module.
You will find more information about using the DM-F PROFIsafe in the manual SIMOCODE pro fail-safe
digital modules (

Start the SIMOCODE ES software to generate the device parameters with the "Parameters" button under
"Parameters" in the object properties of slot 4 of this S7 slave. The created parameters are incorporated in
STEP7 and automatically transmitted to SIMOCODE pro during startup (see Chapter Parameter data during
If SIMOCODE pro has been integrated as an S7 slave, you can utilize the routing
functionality provided by SIMOCODE ES Premium.
A prerequisite for the availability of this function is that an online connection can be
established (for example via Industrial Ethernet) between the PC on which SIMOCODE ES
is installed and the SIMATIC controller that supports routing.
In this manner, you can use routing to access all SIMOCODE pro devices connected to the
controller.
