Simple instead of complex - Integrating the CMMT servo drive controller with Profinet into the TIA Portal

Simple commissioning

Integrating servo drive controllers into a control system is sometimes a demanding task. If both come from the same manufacturer, it is usually not too complicated. There are usually suitable software tools and supporting documentation. Both participants know each other, data is exchanged automatically, both speak the same language and the function blocks are clearly described. The situation is different when the servo drive controller from manufacturer A is to be integrated into a control system from manufacturer B.

The CMMT servo drive controller family makes it really easy for commissioning engineers and programmers with the Profidrive profile! In this webinar we will show you how to integrate the components into the Siemens world using Profinet and the TIA portal. You will be surprised how quickly and easily the CMMT servo drive controller can be put into operation. These topics await you in detail:

  • You will learn how to configure the CMMT servo drive controller with Festo Automation Suite.
  • You will learn how to use the Siemens TIA Portal, how to install the SINAMICS library, how to configure the hardware and how easy it is to control with the SINA-POS module.

The fully integrated units are commissioned without any software. This "plug-and-work" principle reduces complexity and installation effort to a minimum. The solutions of the Simplified Motion Series are ideal for simple movements between two mechanical end positions. You can use a freely selectable intermediate position in addition to the end positions.

Find out how simple and flexible electrical automation is with the Simplified Motion Series:

  • Basic knowledge and information on the technical structure
  • Intelligent connectivity with digital I/O or IO-Link
  • Simple commissioning via Plug and Work
  • Overview of the Simplified Motion Series portfolio
