Answer of your second question is YES - you can use Scout instead of Starter as Starter is already integrated in Simotion Scout - but I think you need License for Scout and Starter is free, but if you already have license then you can use anyone Now coming to your main question, Well you need, either profibus adapter for your PC, or you need Drive PC connecting Kit, or you need RS485/232 converter ByRS485/232 converter, you can connect drive using RS485 on COM link, but in your case, you are using profibus module which uses same port for communication so you can not connect on RS485 terminals when Profibus module is connected Best way I suggest is use Drive PC connecting kit, and its not much costly too Drive PC kit for MM4 is 6SE6400-1PC00-0AA0 One more way is using Step 7 for online connection with drive, for this you need to use routing Please refer following for better understandings MICROMASTER 4: Uploading and downloading drive parameters using STARTER routing with starter Routing MPI to Profibus to make Drive ES - Starter pass trough Routing with DriveES Basic (STARTER or DriveMonitor) in a STEP 7 multiproject Regards Devesh |
