4.4 Creating an axis Overview
The SIMOTION SCOUT Engineering System can be used to insert axes in your project.
1. Start a session of the Axis Wizard in order to configure the axes and interconnect these
with the SINAMICS Integrated drive.
2. Insert your user programs into the project.
3. Compile the project and download it to SIMOTION D410.
Note
Note that only one real axis can be used on a SIMOTION D410.
Creating an axis using the Axis Wizard
Axes are integrated as technology objects (TOs) in SIMOTION. Create the axis with
corresponding settings under the SIMOTION D410 and then interconnect it with
SINAMICS Integrated.
How to insert an axis:
1. Double-click the "Axis > Insert Axis" entry in the Project Navigator.
This opens the Axis Wizard.
