3. Carry out the following in HWConfig: 
–  Connect the drive to PROFIBUS and assign an address. 
–  Set the telegram type. 
The same telegram type as on the slave should be set for every drive object 
exchanging process data via PROFIBUS. 
The master can send more process data than the slave uses. A telegram with a larger 
PZD number than is assigned for the drive object STARTER can be configured on the 
master. The PZDs not supplied by the drive object are filled with zeros. 
The setting "without PZD" can also be defined on a node or object. 
4. The I/O addresses must be assigned in accordance with the user program. 
9.3.2.3  Diagnostics options 
The standard slave diagnostics can be read online in the HW config. 
9.3.2.4  SIMATIC HMI addressing 
You can use a SIMATIC HMI as a PROFIBUS master (master class 2) to access SINAMICS 
directly. With respect to SIMATIC HMI, SINAMICS behaves like a SIMATIC S7. For 
accessing drive parameters, the following simple rule applies: 
●  Parameter number = data block number 
●  Parameter sub-index = bit 0 ... 9 of data block offset 
●  Drive object number = bit 10 ... 15 of data block offset 
Pro Tool and WinCC flexible 
The SIMATIC HMI can be configured flexibly with "Pro Tool" or "WinCC flexible". 
The following specific settings for drives must be observed when configuration is carried out 
with Pro Tool or WinCC flexible. 
Controllers: Protocol always "SIMATIC S7 - 300/400"
