1.4 Commissioning software
Requirement
To create and edit projects on your PG/PC, you need the SIMOTION SCOUT commissioning
and configuration tool. For information on how to install SIMOTION SCOUT, refer to the
SIMOTION SCOUT
Configuration Manual.
Note
SIMOTION SCOUT contains the functionality of STARTER and SIMATIC S7-Technology.
Simultaneous operation of SIMOTION SCOUT, STARTER and SIMATIC S7-Technology as
a single installation on one PC/PG is not possible.
Integrated STARTER
You can insert a standalone drive (e.g. SINAMICS S120) with the "Insert single drive unit"
element in the project navigator. It is commissioned using wizards in the working area of the
workbench that contains the STARTER functionality.
SINAMICS Support Package (SSP)
The following SSPs are relevant for SIMOTION SCOUT:
● SSP "SINAMICS" for single drive units (e.g. CU3xx)
● "SIMOTION SINAMICS Integrated" SSP for the SINAMICS drives integrated into
SIMOTION D.
You can find detailed information on the SSPs in the readme files and in the software
compatibility list at Internet address
(http://support.automation.siemens.
com/WW/view/en/18857317).
Upgrading SIMOTION D4x5-2 projects and hardware
Projects that you have created for one SIMOTION D4x5-2 firmware version can also be
converted for other firmware versions. You can also change the version of the
SIMOTION D4x5-2. For example, a D445-2 DP/PN can be converted to a D455-2 DP/PN
(and vice versa, insofar as the performance and quantity structure allow this). See, for
example, Section Adapting a project (Upgrading the project / Replacing the SIM
OTION
controller) (Page 319).
