Operation of PROFIdrive MC drives
5.1.7.1
I/O configuration
The following section describes the integration of PROFIdrive MC drives (in this case a Sinamics S120 servo
drive controller) in the Beckhoff TwinCAT NC/PTP.
The quick reference guide focuses on the operation of synchronous servo axes. It is based on TwinCAT NC/
PTP version 2.10 (TwinCAT NC/PTP 2.10 build 1340 or higher is recommended).
Familiarity with Beckhoff TwinCAT NC/PTP is a prerequisite.
5.1.7.1.1
Configuring a fieldbus master
Selecting a Profibus fieldbus master card
It is assumed that the user is familiar with the procedure for inserting a Profibus device (an EL6731 fieldbus
master card/fieldbus master terminal) in the TwinCAT System Manager. Once installation is complete and all
bus devices are operational, use Scan Devices in Config mode or the option Insert Device -> Profibus DP via
the context menu in the I/O devices tree. If the configuration doesn't take on the target device (or without the
fieldbus master being connected to your PC), you can acknowledge the dialog "Device found at address"
with "Cancel". The card address can then be determined later during commissioning.
Possible devices are offered, depending on selected target system (only PC, CX, BX, All). The sample refers
to an FC31xx PCI fieldbus master card; if an EL6731 is used the description applies accordingly.
