Inverter Connection via Profibus

08/19/2008 4:30 AM

I have a Siemens Simatic PLC 314C-2DP and I want to communicate this with two servo-inverters (LTi Drives) independently via Profibus connection. I have already used a routine (FC) that calls the appropiate System Functions of Step7 (SFC13, SFC14, SFC15) but unfortunately the servos moves with the same speed, same direction and same positioning as I have only one servo. If someone knows how can I solve this problem, please post me soon. Please note that is my first time that I use Profibus for such of this communication. Thank you in advance. Vasilis Papageorgiou.

Each device on a Profibus DP network must have its own name. The drives must have different names and the commands must be duplicated so that each drive is issued its own motion command. Each drive must be referenced in the command by its unique name. Its been a few years since I worked with Profibus.
