Hello PatrikStar, yes, you can Which PCS 7 version do you use? If you are using PCS 7 with a versionsmaller version 8, you have to use the Drive ES PCS 7 library. This library provides driver blocks incl. faceplates for the SINAMICS drives. But the faceplates are in the PCS 7 standard look and feel. If you want to have APL faceplates, a workaround is available. You combine the Drive ES driver block with the APL motor block and use the APL faceplates of the APL motor block. This is described in the SINAMICS manual. If you want to have ready for use CFC tenplates, parameter lists and a detailed describtion, you can download the documentation "Configuration of SINAMICS and MICROMASETR Drives with Drive ES in PCS 7" http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/58007228 If you are using PCS7 V8, you have a second possibility to integrate SINAMICS and other drives in PCS 7.In this version, Siemens provides universalAPL driver blocks. With these blocks you don't need the Drive ES library. Regards |

Hello PatrikStar, in the APL V8.0 you can find the FbDrive. It is a channel block for the integration of compact drives in PCS 7 V8. The block integrates any compact drive which is using the PROFIdrive profile. Regards |

One topic I forgot. I am not sure which version of PCS 7 we like to use. I need to decide between V7.1 SP 3 and V8. |

Regarding your decision which version you should use: I would prefer the newest PCS 7 version especially for the drives integration. In this case you havn't buy the Drive ES library, you safe money and you have the same APL look and feel without additional engineering. Regards |

Hello G_R_E_Y
Wich library you mean? The library Drive ES PCS7 Vx.y or do you mean the block FbDrive? The block FBDrive is included in PCS7 from version 8.0. This block supports the Standard Telegrams 1 and 20. This block works also with non Siemens drives, as long they support the telegram 1 or 20. As you are on V6.1 it's no option for you. The library Drive ES PCS7 Vx.y was also available for your version (6.1). If you could still purchase it, you need to figure out with the Siemens Sales Department responsible for your region. This library is only for Siemens drives. It works
with the Siemens telegram 352. This is the same like the Standard
Telegram 20 plus a warning number and fault number attached to the
telegram. The library comes also with a textlibrary, so the warning or
fault will be shown in clear text in runtime of the OS.
If you want to know the differences between the different telegrams and how the telegrams are build up in detail, have a look into the List Manual of your inverter. I will give you an example here for G120 with CU240B/E-2: Link You will find the relevant information in chapter 2.6. The interesting part starts at page 2-551. Best regards.. P.S.: Both, the FbDrive and the library Drive ES PCS7, supports the driver wizard of PCS7. |

Hej, I'm not a PCS7 User, but if you don't want to use this library, you could communicate with the G120 like a normal Step7 CPU communicates: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/de/en/view/38844967 |

I see. That's quite some read hehe. I'm yet to check the specific device, but I also found a very simple instruction without using additionally purchased libraries, which uses "Standard Telegram 1" which seems just 4 words: I hope I could use this to the actual device hehe. But still there seems to be no specific description of what exactly are those 4 words? Thanks! |

That could really be helpful, but unfortunately we'll be using Profibus DP (it will be added to the last node of the CPU400 Master DP CP). I haven't checked it thoroughly though, maybe there's also things that could help me. Thanks! |

as ravy stated in this thread: https://support.industry.siemens.com/tf/de/en/posts/148004/ yes, you don't Need any library to directly read the telegrams |
