Reading Operating Hours (P9660) via Profinet Telegram 999

Yes, it's possible to read the operating hours from parameter P9660 of the G120 drive using Profinet Telegram 999, but it's not directly mapped as a standard parameter.

You need to use the "Actual output frequency" (Parameter number 70) within the Telegram 999 configuration. The value transmitted corresponds to the operating hours in hours. Note that scaling might be required on the PLC side to correctly interpret the data.

For detailed configuration instructions and a list of available parameters for Telegram 999, please refer to the following SiePortal resources:

• G120 Profinet Configuration with Telegram 999
• SINAMICS G120 Firmware Manual (Refer to the Profinet section for Telegram configuration details)

If you encounter further issues, please provide your drive firmware version for more specific assistance.

Communicating ET 200 with Multiple SINAMICS G120C Drives via PROFINET

Hello!

Here's how to connect an ET 200 with multiple SINAMICS G120C drives using PROFINET, leveraging TIA Portal V12 and STARDRIVE V12. The key is using a PROFINET interface on the ET 200 and configuring the drives as PROFINET devices within the TIA Portal project.

Steps:

1. Hardware Configuration: In TIA Portal, add an ET 200SP (or appropriate ET 200 module) and the SINAMICS G120C drives to your project. Configure the PROFINET interface on the ET 200.
2. Device Addresses: Assign unique PROFINET addresses to each G120C drive. This is crucial for individual communication. Configure these in the drive parameters (P0700 - PROFINET interface address) using STARDRIVE.
3. GSD File: Import the appropriate GSD file for the SINAMICS G120C drive into the TIA Portal hardware catalog.
4. PROFINET Network Configuration: Configure the PROFINET network in TIA Portal. This includes setting up the IP addresses, subnet masks, and PROFINET name for each drive.
5. Data Exchange: Define the data exchange between the ET 200 and each G120C drive. This involves creating data blocks for control words, status words, actual values, and setpoints.
6. STARDRIVE Configuration: Configure the drives' PROFINET settings using STARDRIVE to match the TIA Portal configuration.

Resources:

• Siemens Support Article: Connecting SINAMICS G120C to ET 200SP via PROFINET (This is a good starting point, but expands on it for multiple drives)
• TIA Portal Documentation: Refer to the TIA Portal documentation for detailed instructions on PROFINET configuration.
• STARDRIVE Documentation: Consult the STARDRIVE documentation for configuring PROFINET on the G120C drives.

Remember to test communication thoroughly after configuration.
