Integrating the inverter into a PROFIBUS network

The following device topology is used in the example:

  • Higher-level controller (PLC) SIMATIC S7
  • MOVIDRIVE® technology MDX9.. application inverter
  • USM21A interface adapter

The following figure is a schematic representation of the device topology:

MOVIDRIVE® technology application inverter

For configuration and startup of the devices, the following tools are used:

  • MOVISUITE® for inverters from SEW‑EURODRIVE
  • TIA Portal (SIMATIC STEP 7) from Siemens for the PLC

The inverter is integrated into the PROFIBUS network in several process steps:
