[?]: Inverter SEW-EuroDrives Movitools via Step 7

Tcp · Post by **Tcp** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 1:43 am

I have few SEW drives on a profibus network with Step 7.
Is there anyone with experience to connect to SEW drives via MPI?
It's called Movitools via Step7 MPI.
Any help is appreciated.

S7 Sample project: "MOVIMOT® drive inverter on PROFIBUS DP"
version: 1.0
This S7 sample project demonstrates how to incorporate the MOVIMOT® inverter series in the SIMATIC S7 world. A module (either FC110 or FC111) can be used to control the MOVIMOT® drive inverters on PROFIBUS in conjunction with the MFP interface converter.

Profibus connection to Step 7 is working fine.
Ususally to change parameters in the SEW drive you need to connect to the drive directly using a serial or USB cable with Movitools software.
I am using Movidrives.
What I want to do is to connect Movitools software to SEW drives via MPI-->Profibus-->Movidrive.
In this way I can access all the SEW drives on the Profibus network with out moving my computer from drive to drive.
There is a SEW manual for it called "Movitools via Step 7 MPI".
I bought the software from SEW to create the Hardware Data block.
Then some steps in the manual is not so clear to me.
I thought at least some one in Europe has done this before.
Hope You understand my application. Regards

For connecting SEW-Movitools via MPI -S7CPU-PB you need
to setup FBs from SEW in your S7-Progy to reach your drives.

The better and most reliable way is a CP5512 on your laptop
and to connect Step7 via Profibus, then the Movitools/Movilink
is able to comunicate direct with the drives over PB.
(without altering the Step7-Prog)

good luck!

The CP5512 is a pcmcia card to make it possible to connect the notebook PC to the PLC via Profibus/MPI.
It is used to communicate with the profibus network.
