Power-up
The CX32‑2 does not require its own CompactFlash card. The firmware and the
parameterization are stored centrally on the SIMOTION D CompactFlash card. After a firmware
change, the CX32‑2 firmware from the CompactFlash card is copied to the CX32‑2 at the first
power-up and saved there as non-volatile data.
For this reason, the first power-up with new firmware takes longer than subsequent power-ups.
Copying from RAM to ROM also takes longer, as the devices perform this function one after
the other.
How to detect if a power-up has been completed is described in Section
CX32‑2 configuration
information in CX32-2 power-up (Page 220).
Online functions
Since the SINAMICS Integrated routes online functions to the CX32‑2 via DRIVE‑CLiQ,
operational performance is reduced in the case of online functions (e.g. parameter changes
or downloads) compared to a similar installation with CU320‑2.
Commissioning requirements
To commission a SIMOTION D with CX32‑2, all drive components which were configured
offline must also be actually available and connected to the correct DRIVE‑CLiQ port.
Only when there are no topology errors
● Will the download be successful (where a project created offline is loaded to the target
system)
● Will the system startup be successful
To be able to go online on a CX32‑2, at least the HW Config configuration must be loaded to
the D4x5‑2 and the CX32‑2 connected "correctly" via the configured DRIVE‑CLiQ ports on the
D4x5‑2.
Loading the SINAMICS Integrated
If the SINAMICS Integrated of a SIMOTION D is loaded, the connected CX32‑2 controller
extensions go offline as a result of reinitialization.

Preparing for configuration
Preparing for configuration
The following measures are required to enable online or offline configuration of a CX32‑2.
1. Create a project and insert a SIMOTION D4x5-2 (in this example, D455‑2).
2. In the project navigator, double-click the D4x5‑2. The HW Config appears.
3. In the hardware catalog, open the "PROFIBUS DP" entry and select "SINAMICS".
