Gsdml-v2.32-siemens-sinamics V90 Verified May 2026

The following is a technical report regarding the GSDML file GSDML-V2.32-Siemens-SINAMICS-V90. This report details the file's purpose, technical specifications, structure, configuration implications, and integration within industrial automation architectures.

3. Control Word Does Not Turn On Motor

  • Solution: You must send a specific sequence via the first output word:
    1. STW1 = 0x0401 (Enable operation) - Wait for status.
    2. STW1 = 0x0403 (Enable operation + No coast stop).
    3. STW1 = 0x047F (Full enable: On, No OFF, Enable operation, No fault reset).

Cyclic Data Mapping (Process Data)

Once you select the telegram, the GSDML file automatically maps the I/O addresses. For a standard setup using Telegram 7 (PZD-4/4 + PKW), your PLC tag table will show: Gsdml-v2.32-siemens-sinamics V90

Outputs (PLC -> V90)

  • IW64 - Control Word 1 (STW1): Bits for On/Off, Enable operation, Acknowledge faults.
  • IW66 - Speed Setpoint (NSOLL_A): 16-bit integer (e.g., 16384 = 100% rated speed).
  • IW68 - Control Word 2 / MOM (Mode).
  • IW70 - PKW (Parameter Channel) – Used to read/write drive parameters.

Inputs (V90 -> PLC)

  • IW100 - Status Word 1 (ZSW1): Bits for "Ready," "Fault active," "Target reached."
  • IW102 - Actual Speed (NIST_A).
  • IW104 - Status Word 2.
  • IW106 - PKW return data.

Beyond Basic Configuration: EPOS Mode

To use the SINAMICS V90 in "External Position Mode" (EPOS), GSDML v2.32 is mandatory. EPOS allows the PLC to send absolute position targets (e.g., move to 500.0 mm). The following is a technical report regarding the

  1. Set P29000 = 1 (Activate EPOS).
  2. In the telegram selection, choose Telegram 111.
  3. Your cyclic output data now includes a 32-bit position setpoint (MDI) and a 32-bit velocity.
  4. The drive handles the internal positioning ramp and servo lock.

3.1. Key Schema Features

  • Application Relations: Defines how the controller (IO-Controller) communicates with the drive (IO-Device).
  • Module Lists: Defines the available I/O modules (telegrams) that can be plugged into the virtual slots of the drive.
  • MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol): Schema 2.32 explicitly supports defining MRP roles (Client/Server), allowing the V90 to participate in redundant ring topologies.
  • AR (Application Relationship) Types: Support for multiple AR types, enabling shared input scenarios or isochronous mode configurations where hardware supports it.
