Scope
Startdrive and drive-specific engineering — full C# Openness implementation.
When the roadmap routes here, the entire solution is C#.
Do not mix with Python wrapper calls.
Always load tia-csharp-common first (done by roadmap).
Reference files
| Reference file | Load when the task involves |
|---|
references/drives-overview.md | Core patterns for Startdrive/SINAMICS engineering (Navigate, Parameters, Telegrams, DFI, Safety, Security) |
references/motion-control.md | Detailed reference for Siemens.Engineering.MC namespaces (Drives, DFI, SecurityObjects, Enums) |
references/download.md | Startdrive-specific and common Download/Upload check configurations |
Execution pattern
- Confirm the task is drive-specific (Startdrive, SINAMICS, drive controller, PROFIdrive)
- Read
references/drives-overview.md
- Locate the drive device in
project.Devices using standard device navigation
- Get
DriveObjectContainer via GetService<>() on the device item to access DriveObjects
- Use
DriveObject.Parameters for parameter access, .Telegrams for telegram find/insert/erase/size operations
- Use
GetService<DriveFunctionInterface>() for commissioning, motor/encoder config, DFI, and drive-object activation/type handling
- For download/upload handling, include Startdrive-specific check configurations from
Siemens.Engineering.Download.Configurations and Siemens.Engineering.Upload.Configurations
- For network/PROFIdrive timing — see
tia-networks/references/subnets-and-nodes.md
