Configuring drive objects
When you commission the system for the first time using the STARTER tool, you will use
configuration parameters to set up the software-based "drive objects" which are processed
on the Control Unit. Various drive objects can be created within a Control Unit.
The drive objects are configurable function blocks and are used to execute specific drive
functions.
If you need to configure additional drive objects or delete existing ones after initial
commissioning, the drive system must be switched to configuration mode.
The parameters of a drive object cannot be accessed until the drive object has been
configured and you have switched from configuration mode to parameterization mode.
Note
Each installed drive object is allocated a number between 0 and 63 during initial
commissioning for unique identification.
