PLC Demo Example PROFIdrive AC1
- Nico Mäding
- Jin Zhao
Two different examples were prepared using PLC Siemens S7-1500. The first example performs motor control via ProfiDrive with another Hilscher solution, the NIC52-RE, without the need for any PC. In the second, more detailed visualization is performed by using WinCC PC Runtime instead of NIC52-RE.
Demo System
PLC Hardware: Siemens CPU 1516T-3 PN/DN
PLC Programming Software: TIA Portal 15.1 (Contains WinCC PC Runtime)
Development Board: NXHX 90-MC
Communication Board: NIC52-RE-DIL-32 Real-Time Ethernet Slave
A minimum of TIA Portal 15.1 must be installed to open the TIA Portal files.
S7-1500 PLC is not working without SD card. Get Siemens SD Card before starting.
PROFIdrive Example with NIC52-RE
The detailed PLC Startup Guide for the NIC52-RE based ProfiDrive Example can be accessed from the PLC Startup Guide - NIC52-RE based PROFIdrive Example.

The following table describes the functions of the DIP switches on the NIC52-RE.
DIP Index | Speed[RPM] - (Left side DIP switches) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
1 | 12.5% | Set motor speed to 12.5%. |
2 | 25.0% | Set motor speed to 25%. |
3 | 37.5% | Set motor speed to 37.5%. |
4 | 50% | Set motor speed to 50%. |
5 | 62.5% | Set motor speed to 62.5%. |
6 | 75% | Set motor speed to 75%. |
7 | 87.5% | Set motor speed to 87.5%. |
8 | 100% | Set motor speed to 100%. |
DIP Index | Control - (Right side DIP switches) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
1 | Start | 0 - Stop motor, 1 - Start motor |
2 | Dir | Motor DIrection: 0-CCW / 1-CW. |
3 | - | - |
4 | - | - |
5 | - | - |
6 | - | - |
7 | Reset | Reset ProfiDrive: 0-Reset disable, 1-Reset enable. |
8 | Power Enable | ProfiDrive Power: 0-Disabled, 1-Enable |
The LEDs on the NIC52-RE show the motor RPM. When the middle two LEDs are lit, the motor speed is 0. The 8 LEDs on the right side show the CW direction and the ones on the left show the CCW direction. Each LED indicates a 12.5% motor speed.
