System Description
1.3 Supported communication structures
The MOVITOOLS
®
software lets you operate various communication structures via the
MPI. For example, SIMATIC S7 systems linked via the MPI bus supply all the informa-
tion about drives connected via PROFIBUS-DP bus to a central diagnostics PC on which
MOVITOOLS
®
is installed. In this way, you can access all SEW-EURODRIVE drives
(→ Figure 2).
Using MOVITOOLS
®
via MPI also offers the option to set the parameters of up to 90
drive inverters connected to the PROFIBUS-DP master systems of a SIMATIC S7-CPU
(→ Figure 3).
