Simotion Scout is a full software package for programming and configuration of Simotion (D, P & C) family of motion controllers with full automation and motion programming functionality. Simotion Scout has Starter build-in for drive configuration. Simotion Scout software integrates into Step7 Basic manager in order have PLCs (300, 400), HMIs, Simotion controllers and drives configured in programmed in one project. DrivesES Basic a package that integrates Starter functionality into Step7 Basic. One of the big advantages of Drives ES Basic is remote connectivity to drives from Step7 through the PLC, but it is not required to configure and commission drives. To your question: For Sinamics S120 CU320-2DP you need Starter software. For Simatic S7-200 215-2DP CPU you need Step7 Micro/Win software. Hope this helps.
