Performing the configuration for the D4x5-2 offline
7.2.1
Overview
Introduction
In the case of offline configuration, the project is created while not all of the hardware
components (in particular drives) are available. In this way, a SIMOTION project in the office
environment can be created up to a point where a basic project specification including a
program exists. You can then load the finished project to the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 later and test
it with the drives.
Requirements
● For offline configuration, all of the components and their article numbers must be known.
● You have created a project in SIMOTION SCOUT and inserted a SIMOTION D4x5‑2 into
the project in the hardware configuration.
● You have configured the communication between the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 and the PG/PC.
See Section Creating a project and configuring the communication (Page 124).
Procedure
The offline configuration involves the following steps:
● Accessing the drive wizard (Page 176)
● Configuring components (Page 177)
● Downloading the project to the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 by means of one of the following options:
– Downloading to the target system (Page 197)
– Downloading to the CF card (Page 200)
– Downloading incl. sources and additional data (Page 201)
– Archiving on the CF card (zip file) (Page 202)
Note
During offline configuration, you can also configure the option board (TB30) and Terminal
Modules, e.g. TM41.
