Integrating the controller into a PROFINET network
The following device topology is used in the example:
- Higher-level controller (PLC) SIMATIC S7
- , device variant
- MOVIDRIVE® modular application inverter, MDD90A double-axis module
- MOVIDRIVE® modular application inverter, MDA90A single-axis module with MOVISAFE® CSS21A safety card
The following figure is a schematic representation of the device topology:

[1] | DC 24 V supply voltage |
[2] | Connection to PROFINET interface |
[3] | EtherCAT®/SBusPLUS connection |
[4] | PLC |
[5] | Engineering PC |
[6] | Connection to engineering interface X80 |
[7] | MOVI-C® CONTROLLER progressive UHX65A-R |
[8] | MOVIDRIVE® modular axis system |
For configuration and startup of the devices, the following tools are used:
- MOVISUITE® for the devices of the MOVI‑C® modular automation system from SEW‑EURODRIVE
- MOVISUITE® contains the IEC Editor tool for programming the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER.
- TIA Portal (SIMATIC STEP 7) from Siemens for the PLC
The controller is integrated into the PROFINET network in several process steps:
