Configuring and Diagnosing Hardware
· The "Information and Maintenance" process is supported in order to be able to read identification data from or write identification data to modules. This function is also available in the SIMATIC Manager (see Identification & Maintenance (I&M)).
· Identification data can also be written to PROFIBUS DP interface modules during redundant mode (by means of "Accessible Nodes"). The interface module must support this function.
· As of V5.4 SP1, you can also download identification data over PROFINET lO (see Entering or Changing M Data in HW Config).
· CAx data can be imported and exported. In this way, data can be exchanged between STEP 7 and CAD systems or CAE engineering systems (see Exporting and Importing CAx Data)
· The firmware for PROFIBUS DP interface modules can also be updated during redundant mode, as long as such a module will support this process. Each of the redundantly used interface modules can now send the updated firmware through the active backplane bus to the other, redundant interface module.
· The "Software Redundancy" function now allows PA links with subordinate PA slaves to be copied and redundantly inserted (see Configuring SW Redundancy)
· Applications for editing objects in HW Config can now be started with the Edit > Open Object menu command (see Opening Objects in HW Config).
· You can configure a watchdog time for PROFINET IO devices (see Configuring the Watchdog Time)
· You can have module times displayed in the local time of your programming device (PG)/PC.
· As of V5.4 SP1, you can download language-specific information to CPUs to allow you to read information online with a Web browser in the required language (see Configuring the CPU for Web Access).
· As of V5.4 SP2, you call tools external to STEP 7 from HW Config to configure distributed devices (see Integrating Tools for Configuration of Distributed Devices (TCI; Tool Calling Interface)).
· As of V5.4 SP2, the PROFINET Topology Editor is included in STEP 7. It contains a graphical and tabular view, and online views with diagnostic information.
· As of V5.4 SP2, you can configure additional PROFINET IO devices with IRT (S7-CPU, ET200, ScalanceX).
· As of V5.4 SP3 you can assign asset IDs to modules within the framework of asset management. These asset IDs are then available to the TIA Maintenance Station (see Assigning Asset IDs).
Additional PROFINET IO functions are available with SIMOTION/Scout:
· As of V5.4 SP2, you can configure "direct data access" to F modules (SINAMICS_Integrated) for special SIMOTION CPUs / D4x5 controller as lower-level I slaves (see Direct Data Access to a Module in the Lower-level I Slave). This can only be done within the context of SIMOTION/Scout!
· As of V5.4 SP2, you can configure intelligent IO devices in IRT mode (see What You Should Know about Configuring Intelligent IO Devices). This can only be done within the context of SIMOTION/Scout!
· As of V5.4 SP2, you can set update times for PROFINET IO devices in IRT mode as can be done for PROFINET IO devices of the RT classes (see Update Times for Cyclic Data Exchange). This can only be done within the context of SIMOTION/Scout!
· As of V5.4 SP2, you can configure redundant sync masters for a PROFINET IO configuration with devices in IRT mode (see Configuring Redundant Sync Masters). This can only be done within the context of SIMOTION/Scout!
