5.1 MOVILINK® protocol

The MOVILINK® profile enables the uniform transmission of user data between SEW
inverters as well as via various communications interfaces to higher-level automation
3
equipment. Consequently, MOVILINK® guarantees a control and parameterization
concept which can be used disregarding the fieldbus for all current bus systems, such
as: 4
• PROFIBUS-DP
• INTERBUS with fiber optic cable 5
• CAN
• RS-232 6
• RS-485

The MOVILINK® protocol for serial interfaces in the new SEW range of inverters,
MOVIDRIVE® and MOVIMOT®, enables you to set up a serial bus connection between 8
a higher-level master and several SEW inverters. For example, masters may take the
form of programmable logic controllers, PCs or even SEW inverters with PLC functions 9
(IPOSplus®). Generally speaking, the SEW inverters function as slaves in the bus
system.

The MOVILINK® protocol allows both of the following applications to be implemented:
automation tasks such as control and parameterization of the drives by means of cyclical
data exchange; startup and visualization tasks. 11
