Creating an axis 

Overview 

The SIMOTION SCOUT Engineering System can be used to insert axes in your project.  
1.  Start a session of the Axis Wizard in order to configure the axes and interconnect these 

with the SINAMICS Integrated drive. 

2.  Insert your user programs into the project. 
3.  Compile the project and download it to SIMOTION D410. 

 

 

 

Note 
Note that only one real axis can be used on a SIMOTION D410. 

Creating an axis using the Axis Wizard 

Axes are integrated as technology objects (TOs) in SIMOTION. Create the axis with 

corresponding settings under the SIMOTION D410 and then interconnect it with 

SINAMICS Integrated.  
How to insert an axis:  
1.  Double-click the "Axis > Insert Axis" entry in the Project Navigator. 

This opens the Axis Wizard.
