● Up to and including SIMOTION V4.1 SP5, all D410/D4x5 onboard I/Os configured as digital
outputs are exclusively available to SIMOTION
● As of SIMOTION V4.2, D410/D4x5 onboard I/Os configured as digital outputs can be
switched over to SINAMICS using BICO interconnection (channel granular)
Standard digital output (DO)
The output cam calculations are performed in processing cycles (IPO or IPO_2 cycle clock or
servo cycle clock).
Actual cam output is performed in servo cycles. The temporal resolution of the cam output is
usually reduced by the output cycle of the I/O used.
Therefore the resolution
● with standard I/O (e.g. ET 200) depends on the cycle time of the bus system (PROFIBUS
DP / PROFINET IO)
● with TM15 / TM17 depends on the cycle time of the bus system (PROFIBUS Integrated /
PROFIBUS DP / PROFINET IO)
● with TM15 DI/DO, TM31, TM41, TB30 depends on the configured sampling time
– cu.p0799 (CU inputs/outputs sampling time) for the TB30 and onboard outputs
– p4099 (TMxx inputs/outputs sampling time) for TM15 DI/DO, TM31 and TM41
Hardware supported
● Onboard outputs (SIMOTION D, Controller Extension CX, SINAMICS Control Unit CU3xx)
● Centralized I/O (SIMOTION C)
● Distributed I/O via PROFIBUS DP / PROFINET IO (e.g. ET 200, etc.)
● Drive I/O TM15, TM15 DI/DO, TM17 High Feature, TM31, TM41, TB30
