9.5.6 Acyclic Data Access
Any inverter parameter can be accessed via PROFINET acyclic services. To accomplish this, set the
API to 0, Slot to 1 and SubSlot to 1. The record number/index value is equivalent to the desired
parameter register number described in section 4.1. The length is specified according to the number of
bytes to access. Since each register corresponds to 2 bytes of data, the length must be an even
number.
9.5.7 TIA Portal (STEP 7) Hardware Configuration Example
The following example will use TIA Portal V13 (STEP 7) to demonstrate the basic and typical hardware
configuration procedure, which will apply to similar configuration software. The example will not cover all
features of TIA Portal. Any questions regarding TIA Portal (or similar configuration software) must be
directed at the vendor of the software.
This example assumes that there is already an existing TIA Portal project with the desired PLC.
