Configuring the frequency converter and integrating it in the PROFINET network
The frequency converter is integrated in the higher-level controller with its GSDML via
PROFINET. The GSDML for SINAMICS frequency converters can be downloaded from the
Internet. Once the GSDML has been installed (see "Communication via PROFIBUS"), the
frequency converter appears as an object under "PROFINET IO" in the HW Config product
catalog.
Drag and drop the frequency converter to the PROFINET network and then choose the
standard message frame 1 as the message frame type.

Final steps
●
Save and compile the project in STEP 7.
●
Establish an online connection between your PC and the S7 CPU and download the
project data to the S7 CPU.
The frequency converter is now connected to the S7 CPU. The communications interface
between the CPU and frequency converter is defined via the PROFIdrive profile. An example
of how you can supply this interface with data can be found in this manual.
