The figure illustrates the phases in which the project management of MOVITOOLS
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.

Synchronizing unit parameters
Managing Projects
9.3 Synchronizing unit parameters
The "Synchronization" function can be used for individual units or all units belonging to
one 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 be
accessed online back to the parameter file ("upload").
The upload makes sure that the information stored in the unit is also recognized by the
project 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 -> all
units -> PC)].
If you want to synchronize an individual unit in the project, proceed as follows:
1. Select the unit.

12.4.2 Address Editor
Overview 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 the Address Editor to establish a communication for your units via Ethernet
and to address the units.
If you use a patch cable to connect the Ethernet interface of your engineering PC to the
Ethernet, the Address Editor detects all Ethernet stations in the connected network seg-
ment (local network).
Unlike with "MOVITOOLS
MotionStudio", you will not have to adjust the IP address of

the engineering PC to the local network.
This means that the Address Editor is a useful addition to
"MOVITOOLS
MotionStudio".
Proceed as follows if you have added other Ethernet stations to an existing network:
Start the Address Editor
Search for Ethernet stations
Once you have found the added Ethernet stations, you have two options:
Adjust detected Ethernet stations to the network (address)
Adjust the engineering PC to the network (address)
Starting the
Address Editor
You can use the Address Editor once MOVITOOLS
MotionStudio has been installed.

Proceed as follows to start the Address Editor:
1. Close MOVITOOLS
MotionStudio.
2. Start the Address Editor from the Windows start menu via:
[Start] / [Programs] / [SEW] / MOVITOOLS MotionStudio] / [Address Editor
(Address Tool)]
12
Searching for
Ethernet stations
You can use the Address Editor to find Ethernet stations in a network. This is especially
useful for finding recently added Ethernet stations. The Address Editor also helps you
to locate the Ethernet interface of the Ethernet stations that were found.
Proceed as follows to search for Ethernet stations and localize the hardware:
1. Select "Ethernet" as the interface for PC and unit. To do so, click on the correspond-
ing option field in the lower part of the window.
2. Click [Next] to confirm your selection and proceed to the next dialog.
3. Wait for the network scan to start automatically. The default setting for the waiting
time (scan timeout) is 3 s [2]
Note: If you no units are found during the network scan, the wiring might be inade-
quate, or you have several network cards installed (activated) in your PC.
In this case, proceed as follows:
Select the desired card. To do so, click "Select network card" [3] in the toolbar.
Start the network scan manually. To do so, click "Start network scan" [1] in the

MOVITOOLS

14.2 Functional principle
14.2.1 Overview
The figure shows the programs that are called in connection with the TCI call and the
files to transfer the communication parameters:
The numbered arrows show the phases for the following two sub-processes:
Integrating units in HW Config:
Call device tool and transfer communication parameters:
1620139915
[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

14
Using MOVITOOLS

MOVITOOLS

14.2.2 Advantages
TCI offers the following advantages:
Various manufacturer-specific engineering tools can be called from HW Config in the
same way.
Data management for all engineering tools is performed centrally in the project path
of HW Config.
Communication to the units is established by HW Config. Multiple configuration is not
required.
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 storage
When you are using TCI, the project directory and the file storage of
MOVITOOLS
MotionStudio are maintained. However, the project of

MOVITOOLS
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

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 parameters
are transferred from HW Config.

15 Glossary

The following table explains the most important terms related to the handling of
MOVITOOLS
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

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".

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

"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.
