Rules for SIMOTION D410 DP The general rule for SIMOTION D410 specifies that the DP cycle (D410 DP) forms the basic
clock of the cycle system. All cycles longer than this basic clock must be an integer multiple
of the basic clock.
This rule also applies to SINAMICS cycles, if one of the successive cycles is longer than the
basic clock:
● Speed controller p115[1]
● Flow controller p115[2]
● Setpoint channel p115[3]
● Position controller p115[4]
● Positioning p115[5]
● Technology controller (p0115[6])
● Onboard I/O p0799
● Terminal module I/O p4099
The corresponding cycle must be an integer multiple of the basic clock.
If any change to the DP cycle violates this rule you must also change the SINAMICS cycles.
In order to change the cycles in the Expert list of SIMOTION SCOUT, select the
"Control_Unit" from "SINAMICS_Integrated" in the Project Navigator, and then open the
"Expert List" by selecting the "Expert" command from the shortcut menu.
Example: A default value of 4 ms is set at the SINAMICS setpoint channel. If setting a DP
cycle of 3 ms you must set an integer multiple value as required at the setpoint channel, for
example, 3 ms or 6 ms.
