7.12
Configuring drive-related I/Os (with symbolic assignment)
Overview
SIMOTION D4x5‑2, the CX32‑2 controller extension as well as the SINAMICS S110/S120
control units and additional components (TB30, TMs) have I/Os that can be used by the drive
unit and SIMOTION.
So that I/Os, which were originally assigned to SINAMICS, can be used by SIMOTION, they
must be interconnected to a message frame.
Symbolic assignment
As of version V4.2, SIMOTION SCOUT supports the symbolic configuration of I/Os. "Use
symbolic assignment" must be activated for this purpose (see also Section Symbolic
assignment / adaptation (Page 169)).
The symbolic assignment simplifies the configuration significantly:

Configuring message frames
So that SIMOTION can use SINAMICS I/
Os, the required message frames are
created automatically
Message frames must be set manually
(either predefined message frame
(e.g. 39x) or free message frame config‐
uration)
BICO interconnections
The required BICO interconnections are
made automatically (I/Os are intercon‐
nected to message frame)
With predefined message frames
(e.g. 39x), the BICO interconnections
are made automatically
With free message frame configuration
with BICO, the interconnection must be
made by the user
Parameterization of the I/O functionality
(e.g. measuring input)
Parameterization via screen forms
Parameterization via screen forms and
partly via parameters in the expert list
Handling of I/O addresses
Handling of addresses is not required
because of symbolic assignment
I/O addresses must be determined
Setting up addresses
Addresses are set up automatically, see
also Section Setting up addresses
Addresses must be set up manually,
see also Section Message frame config‐
Only the configuration with symbolic assignment is described in the following. For further
information on the configuration of drive-related I/Os without symbolic assignment, see
Configuration of drive-related I/Os (without symbolic assignment) (Page 413).
