Drive Interface / SINAMICS Interface¶
Purpose¶
The Drive Interface / SINAMICS Interface translates propulsion commands and state into drive-facing signals.
Responsibilities¶
- Send enable, direction, speed, torque, and control-word signals.
- Read drive status, alarms, faults, and feedback values.
- Normalize drive-specific behavior for the rest of the PLC software.
- Provide diagnostics for communication and drive readiness.
Key Interfaces¶
| Interface | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Propulsion command | Input | Command from the propulsion state machine |
| Drive telegram | Input/Output | SINAMICS process data |
| Drive status | Output | Ready, running, warning, and fault states |
Notes¶
Drive-specific details should stay inside this subsystem so the state machine can remain drive-agnostic.
