Drive ES Basic (phase-out product)
Drive ES Basic is for first-time users of the world of Totally Inte-
grated Automation and the basic software for setting the param-
一特驱动在线和离线in this environment. Drive ES
Basic enables both the automation system and the drives to be
handled using the SIMATIC Manager software. Drive ES Basic is
the starting point for common data archiving for complete pro-
jects and for extending the use of the SIMATIC teleservice to
drives. Drive ES Basic provides the configuration tools for the
new Motion Control functions – slave-to-slave communication,
equidistance and isochronous operation with PROFIBUS DP
and ensures that drives with PROFINET IO are simply integrated
into the SIMATIC environment.
Note:
For SINAMICS and MICROMASTER 4 drives, this TIA functional-
ity is provided with the STARTER commissioning tool (V4.3.2 and
higher).
Drive ES Basic Maintenance (available soon)
This software product will ensure TIA functionality for the previ-
ous drive systems not supported by STARTER. Drive ES Basic
Maintenance will thus replace the current product Drive ES
Basic.
Drive ES PCS 7 (APL Style or Classic Style)
Drive ES PCS 7 links the drives with a PROFIBUS DP interface
into the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system, and it requires
that SIMATIC PCS 7, V6.1 and higher has first been installed.
Drive ES PCS 7 provides a block library with the drives and the
corresponding faceplates for the operator station, which
enables the drives to be operated from the PCS 7 process con-
trol system. From V6.1 and higher, drives will also be able to be
represented in the PCS 7 Maintenance Station.
From Drive ES PCS 7 V8.0 and higher, two versions of the library
are available: The APL (Advanced Process Library) variant and
the previous version in the so-called Classic Style.
