About Drive ES Basic Maintenance V5.6. The modern Drive Engineering System enables you to configure, parameterize, diagnose and start up the SIEMENS Motion Control drives. DRIVE ES comprises the product versions DRIVE ES Basic (incl. startup tools DriveMonitor , SIMOCOM U/A and STARTER), SINAMICS DCC (graphical interconnection of function blocks using SIMATIC CFC), DRIVE ES SIMATIC (function blocks for efficient communication between drive and SIMATIC-CPU in the manufacturing industry) and DRIVE ES PCS7 (display and control modules for integration into the process control system SIMATIC PCS7).

Drive ES Basic Maintenance V5.6 has been revised and further developed on account of the updating of the integrated commissioning tools SimoCom U to version V14.03.01 and SimoCom A to version V05.05.02.

The previous Drive ES Basic V5.5 SP5 version was innovated to include the following new features (unchanged tool versions are also listed):

- STARTER, the commissioning tool for SINAMICS and MICROMASTER 4th generation, has not been integrated.
- DriveMonitor Version V5.5 SP2 HF1, the tool for MASTERDRIVES and SIMOREG, has been integrated.
- SimoCom U Version V14.03.01, the tool for SIMODRIVE 611U and POSMO CA/CD/SI, has been integrated.
(Note: Please uninstall all SimoCom U versions manually before installing Drive ES Basic Maintenance from DVD
- SimoCom A Version V 05.05.02, the tool for POSMO A, has been integrated.
(Note - for the case that an update should be made to this version of SimoCom A: Please uninstall all older SimoCom A versions manually before installing Drive ES Basic Maintenance from DVD

Advantages of a Drive ES Basic installation compared to the installation of individual tools

- Advantages compared to all individual tools (SIMOCOM U/A and DriveMonitor)
. More convenient integration of the drives in the hardware configuration of SIMATIC S7 using object manager (SlaveOM) - instead of GSD files
. Communication beyond network boundaries is supported through routing in SIMATIC and SIMOTION stations. Without Drive ES, single tools can only communicate with the drives that are connected to the same subnetwork (PROFIBUS), such as the engineering PC/PG. Please read the routing notes!
. The tools can be directly called up in a context-sensitive manner from the SIMATIC Manager. All of the necessary network infrastructure information is automatically transferred for routing.
- Further advantages when compared to DriveMonitor and SIMOCOM U/A
. Data archiving in the S7 project
- Additional advantage when compared to DriveMonitor
. Direct communication via PROFIBUS
. Without Drive ES, DriveMonitor can only communicate with the drives using the USS protocol via a serial interface or via a PROFIBUS-OPC server.
- Important note for SINAMICS and MICROMASTER 4 drives and STARTER:
From STARTER V4.3 SP2, the above-stated STEP7 integration features (Drive ES Basic functionality) are provided at no cost. This means that STARTER installs the object managers (SlaveOM and DeviceOM) when a STEP7 full version has been installed. This only applies to the relevant drives that are supported by STARTER.
