9 Managing Projects9.1 Overview9.1.1 Purpose of project management

Project management gives you the possibility to structure the units in such a way thatthey map the function in your machine/system. You can structure the units independentof the communication link.

9.1.2 Advantages of project management

• Structuring the units according to the function in your machine/system

• Storing data in an organized manner

• Configuring a machine/system in the offline mode

• Easily comparing data of the units that are physically connected and accessible on-line with data of the configured units

• Using the same (configured) units with different communication links


9OverviewManaging Projects

9.1.3 Project directories and file storage

MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio creates a directory structure for every project. This struc-ture stores the following files.

• Files containing all parameters and configuration data of the units

• Files containing information from both views (page 31)

The following figure shows you the directory structure and the corresponding image ofthe units in the project view. A high-bay warehouse was configured as an example.

9.1.4 Managed objects

Project management manages the following three data objects for each unit:

A Basic data on the unit:

• Signature

• Unit type (e.g. MOVIDRIVE®)

• Firmware

B Unit parameter

C Communication link for the unit:

• Medium (e.g. SBus)

• Unit address

9.1.5 Cleaning a projectWhen you select a unit in your project and execute the "Delete" command in the contextmenu, the unit is only removed from the project view and the communication link to thenetwork is interrupted.

However, the parameter set of the unit remains stored in the project directory on yourPC as a precaution.

MotionStudio manages the unit parameters.

9007200448237579

Position Designation Description

[3] Load For every unit [8] that you configure, MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio creates a parameter file based on the standard parameters for this unit type. MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio stores this parameter file on the hard disk [1] in the project directory.When you open the project, MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio loads [3] the unit parameters from the parameter file on the hard disk. The content of this parameter file is transferred by MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio to the RAM [4] of the PC.

[6] Upload Changes made using online tools affect "ONLY" the unit. • Perform the "Upload (unit->PC)" function [6] to transfer these changes to

your RAM [4].

[7] Download Changes made using offline tools affect "ONLY" the RAM [4].• Perform the "Download (PC->unit)" function [7] to transfer these

changes to the unit [4].

[2] Save The change to the working memory [4] compared to the parameter file is dis-played by a mini symbol.• Save your project [2].

Result: Your changes are continuously saved in the parameter files of the modified units. The mini symbol disappears.


9 Synchronizing unit parametersManaging Projects

9.3 Synchronizing unit parametersThe "Synchronization" function can be used for individual units or all units belonging toone node. "Synchronizing" combines the functions "Download" and "Upload".

Use the "Synchronizing" function after updating firmware or replacing units.

The unit parameters are transferred from the parameter file to the unit that can be ac-cessed online ("download"). Next, all information is transferred from the unit that can beaccessed online back to the parameter file ("upload").

The upload makes sure that the information stored in the unit is also recognized by theproject through the new firmware.

If you want to synchronize all units belonging to a node, proceed as follows:

1. Select the respective node in the network view or in the project view.

2. In the context menu, select the menu item [Synchronized parameter sets (PC -> allunits -> PC)].

If you want to synchronize an individual unit in the project, proceed as follows:

[1] Files from SEW to integrate in HW Config[2] Exe file to execute

MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio

Phase Description

1 First, you have to integrate the unit in HW Config using the pertaining GSD unit master file (description file):• GSD for PROFIBUS• GSDML for PROFINET IO

Phase Description

2 HW Config reads the data of the unit from the PID (program interface description)(After the installation of MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio, the PID is already in the right directory).

3 HW Config creates a TPF (temporary parameter file) with the communication parameters to be transferred.

4 HW Config calls the device tool "MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio" (SEWManager.exe).

5 MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio reads the TPF and starts

6 MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio deletes the TPF after the start

MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio via TCI

14.2.2 Advantages

TCI offers the following advantages:

• Various manufacturer-specific engineering tools can be called from HW Config in thesame way.

• Data management for all engineering tools is performed centrally in the project pathof HW Config.

• Communication to the units is established by HW Config. Multiple configuration is notrequired.

• For the following communication channels, SEW function modules are no longer re-quired for routing:

• Communication via MPI with SIMATIC to PROFIBUS

• Communication via Ethernet with SIMATIC to PROFIBUS

14.2.3 Project directories and file storageWhen you are using TCI, the project directory and the file storage ofMOVITOOLS® MotionStudio are maintained. However, the project ofMOVITOOLS® MotionStudio is subordinated to the HW Config project.

Your project is saved here:

"C:\Program Files\Siemens\Step7\s7proj\my_STEP 7_project\Global\SEW-EURODRIVE\MOVITOOLS MotionStudio\my_MOVITOOLS MotionStudio_project"

• Replace the parts of the path in italics/bold with your own, project-specific names.

14.3 Using MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio via TCI 14.3.1 Overview

When you call MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio via TCI, the handling is slightly different.

The following functions are not necessary and therefore inactive:

• Manual scan of the network (unit scan) is not possible.

• The communication settings cannot be changed, as the communication parametersare transferred from HW Config.

The following table explains the most important terms related to the handling ofMOVITOOLS® MotionStudio that are used in this documentation.

Term Meaning

Address Editor The Address Editor is a freeware tool by SEW-EURODRIVE GmbH & Co KG.It is available once the "MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio" engineering software is installed. However, it is used separately. You can use Address Editor to establish communication with your units via Ethernet and to address the units.

Bus node Represents a communication connection via a communication medium (bus system) in a network.

Clean project Command that removes all parameter files on the PC that no longer belong to the project.

Communication channel

A communication channel is a communication medium (serial, fieldbus, or Industrial Ethernet) that was activated in the communication settings of MOVITOOLS® Motion-Studio.

Communication link

A unit can have several communication links if it is addressed via different communi-cation media. One of these communication links can be defined as standard commu-nication link.

Communication medium

Any bus system through which units communicate with each other or with higher-level stations. This includes point-to-point connections. MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio supports the following communication media: • Serial (RS485)• USB• SBus (CAN)• Ethernet• S7-MPI• PROFIBUS

Communication parameters

Each communication medium has specific communication parameters. Examples: Timeout for Ethernet, baud rate for serial, etc. The communication settings of the SEW Communication Server are also called communication parameters.

Configuration-software

Software from third party suppliers for configuring controllers and integrating SEW units (e.g. SIMATIC Manager form the software package STEP 7 of Siemens); see TCI

Connection mode The pre-selected connection mode determines whether the tools refer directly to the unit (online tools) or to the project (offline tools)

Cyclic accessibility test

If you activate the cyclic availability test, the units are permanently triggered. If for any reason the communication to a unit is broken, the color of the affected unit node changes from "green" to "red".

Device tool See TCI

Download Transfer of unit parameters from a PC to the unit

Framework Term for the basic structure of the software interface from where the tools are called.

Function The functions of MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio are: • Parameterization• Startup• Visualization and diagnostics• Programming

Mini symbol Graphical symbol that indicates the status of a node


15 Glossary

Network scan Search for units within a network

Network view View that displays all unit with their communication links, in this way visualizing the topology of the network.

Nodes On the software interface of MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio, a node represents an object in the respective view (project view, network view). Each unit, for example, is represented by a unit node; see also bus node.

Offline mode See Connection mode

Online mode See Connection mode

Online tools See Connection mode

Online unit status Diagnostic option to display the status of a unit that is accessible online. The online unit status is displayed for each unit that is moved by drag-and-drop to the respective bar (above the status bar). For this purpose, the connection mode must be set to "online".The online unit status gives you the following information about units accessible online: • Address of the station• Bus used for communication by the station• Unit type• Signature of the unit• Status of the unit (e.g. error, enabled, etc.)

Parameter file File with the parameter set of a unit (unit parameters) saved on the PC. Example: For MOVIDRIVE®, the parameter file name ends in "vd0".

Parameter set Sum of all parameters of a unit

Parameter tree Term for a tree structure of folders to group and display the unit parameters in a clear arrangement. The parameter tree belongs to the tools that are assigned to the "Startup" function.

Parameters See unit parameters and communication parameters

Project configura-tion / configuring

Designates the structuring of the units according to their function or physical location in your machine/system. The units are structured independently of the communica-tion link via project management. Configured units are available offline and can always be synchronized with the units accessible online. Structure nodes are used as a means for structuring.

Project view View that displays all configured units in a freely definable logical hierarchy. In this view, you can visualize how units are grouped within a machine or a system compo-nent, for example.

Remote operation Remote operation allows several clients to direct queries to a server. The clients need to have MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio installed to use this feature. Only the SEW Communication Server needs to be installed on the server. To be able to use remote operation, you must make communication settings on the server and client.

SEW communica-tion server

One of several software components included in the software package of MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio. The SEW communication server allows you to create and configure communication channels.

Signature A name that can be freely assigned to a unit to distinguish it from other units.

Synchronize project

"Synchronize" combines the functions "Download" and "Upload"."Synchronize" is used after a firmware update or unit replacement. The unit parameters are trans-ferred from the parameter file to the unit that can be accessed online ("Down-load"). Next, all information is transferred from the unit that can be accessed online back to the parameter file ("Upload"). The upload makes sure that the infor-mation stored in the unit is also recognized by the project through the new firmware.
