MOVITOOLS® connection to SIMATIC S7 via Ethernet
1 System Description
1.1 General information
The MOVITOOLS
®
program package from SEW-EURODRIVE is used for project plan-
ning, diagnostics and programming of all new inverter series from SEW-EURODRIVE.
In the most simple scenario, a PC and a drive inverter are connected using the PC’s
RS-232 interface. MOVITOOLS
®
lets you operate several drive inverters at the same
time. To do this, all inverters must be connected to the PC/notebook via a bus system.
This may be done by using the drives’ proprietary RS-485 interface or the drives’ system
bus.
Fieldbuses such as PROFIBUS-DP have established themselves in plant automation
systems. Drive inverters are increasingly controlled via fieldbuses. This means the sys-
tem comes equipped with a bus structure. The high-performance bus interface modules
in drive inverters from SEW-EURODRIVE make for the exchange of both cyclical pro-
cess data for drive control and acyclical parameter data.
MOVITOOLS
®
via SIMATIC S7 Ethernet lets you operate MOVITOOLS
®
via PROFI-
BUS-DP. The parameter requests from MOVITOOLS
®
are forwarded to an SIMATIC S7
from a PC with Ethernet TCP/IP access. An SEW function block (SEW-FB) directs these
parameter requests to the lower-level PROFIBUS-DP and the MOVIDRIVE
®
drive in-
verters.
