3.4.5 Scripting with STARTER or SIMOTION SCOUT

3.4.5.1 Information about scripting

Preconditions
Using the scripting functionality assumes that you are familiar with script programming;
therefore, a general introduction will not be provided here.
The implementation is based on VBScript from MICROSOFT, which has been expanded to
include special objects and methods for STARTER. The current STARTER version is
recommended when using SINAMICS TEC scripting functions with STARTER. As a minimum,
STARTER version V5.1 SP1 HF2 must be used when using SINAMICS TEC scripting
functions.

Devices
This description applies to:
● SINAMICS S120, S150, G130, G150, MV (CU320-2)
● SINAMICS S120 (CU310-2)
● SIMOTION D4x5-2 with SINAMICS Integrated
● SIMOTION D410-2 with SINAMICS Integrated
● SINAMICS DCM, DCP

Working with scripting functionality

Using the scripting functionality, you can automate the configuration using an easy-to-learn
script language. Drive objects (DOs), e.g. SINAMICS drives and SIMOTION technology
objects (TOs), for example axes, can be configured.
Standard scripts can be adapted to specific situations during the runtime using interactive
queries, which means that the scripts are executed dependent on query results. This simplifies
and speeds up commissioning. Other applications include documenting settings that have
been made and repeating complex settings without error, for example.

WARNING
Malfunctions as a result of incorrect scripts
Scripting provides extensive automation options that are required to be able to automate
manual operator actions in STARTER, therefore optimizing the time required for the recurring
configuration of projects and tasks. Incorrect configurations that are not identified in tests can
result in serious injury or death! The script programmer and the script user are responsible for
the operator actions implemented in the scripting.
● Run systematic tests on new and modified scripts to verify and validate them.
● Before running a script, carefully ensure it has the correct content! Verify and validate the
results when running a script by performing tests on the machine.

Function Manual, 03/2020, A5E45590347B 39
Installing and activating
3.4 STARTER or SIMOTION SCOUT

Note
Information about scripting, tools and application examples
● Detailed documentation about VBScript is available at the following address (https://
www.microsoft.com).
● Detailed notes for SIMOTION scripts are contained in SIMOTION Utilities & Applications.
This information is available on DVD or in the Internet at the following address (https://
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/26340545).
In addition to the SIMOTION Scripting Interface Manual and a script styleguide, there is a
collection of scripts that provide support when working with SIMOTION SCOUT.

Scripting variants
The following scripting variants are available in STARTER:

VBScript Internal
In the STARTER project navigator, script folders can be inserted under the project, each device
and each TO/DO. You can then insert the scripts into this script folder. Scripts are edited using
an internal editor. Scripts can be imported or exported in text format (ASCII) and XML.

VBScript External
Scripts can also be executed from Windows Explorer. STARTER does not have to be started
for this purpose. This allows operators without system knowledge to perform configuration
tasks. In this case, the script is available as a VBScript in an ASCII file "TECupdaten.vbs" in the
Windows file system, for example.

External scripting
For more complex scripting applications, you can implement your own application – which
provides a task-oriented user interface – and internal SIMOTION scripting, which uses the
STEP7 command interface and other scripting interfaces (e.g. for databases or XML). This
form of scripting is implemented using VisualBasic or Visual C#, for example.

3.4.5.2 Scripting for Technology Extensions

An application example, where several TEC-specific scripting methods are applied, is the
automated update of Technology Extensions. The typical workflow when upgrading and the
methods used are subsequently described.
Detailed information about general and TEC-specific scripting methods are provided in the
STARTER online help.

Upgrading a Technology Extension using scripting methods

To update a Technology extension using scripting, the same steps must be performed as for a
manual update, see "Technology Extension upgrade (Page 34)". Additional steps and queries
serve especially to guarantee a safe and reliable function.

Table 3-1 Scripting methods and corresponding commissioning steps

Scripting methods Commissioning step

GetActivatedTECs Query, on which drive objects are Technology Extensions activated and
which version is used.
GetTECParameterRanges Query, which parameters belong to a specific, activated Technology Ex‐
tension.
Parameter Read out and save the settings of these parameters.
DeActivateTEC Deactivate the old TEC version.
UninstallTEC Uninstall the old TEC version.
InstallTEC Install the new TEC version.
SelectTECVersion Select the new TEC version to be installed.
DownloadTEC Download the new TEC version.
ActivateTEC Activate the new TEC version on all drive objects on which the old version
was active. To do this, the drive objects read-out using "GetActivated‐
TECs" must now be used as target.
Parameter Restore the parameter settings in the new TEC version.

The methods listed can be removed from the complex context and separately applied. For
instance, a text file can be created using "GetActivatedTECs" that can be used for
documentation purposes or as configuration example.
The steps defined using scripting can also be extended to include additional actions. For
example, the results from "GetActivatedTECs" can be compared with the OASP in an
installation folder. If more recent versions are saved to the installation folder, then an update
can be fully automatically performed in STARTER.

Explanations and programming examples

An overview and help for scripting methods specific to Technology Extensions are provided in
the STARTER help:
1. Open Help, by pressing key "F1", for example.
2. Double-click on folder "Scripts to Automated Execution".
3. Double-click on folder "Methods".
4. Double-click on folder "Technology Extensions methods".
A detailed description with syntax, notes and programming examples is provided in this
folder for all TEC-specific scripting methods.
