tia-simatic-drives
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) |

Execution pattern
- Confirm the task is drive-specific (Startdrive, SINAMICS, drive controller, PROFIdrive)
- Read
references/drives-overview.md - Locate the drive device in
project.Devicesusing standard device navigation - Get
DriveObjectContainerviaGetService<>()on the device item to accessDriveObjects - Use
DriveObject.Parametersfor parameter access,.Telegramsfor 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.ConfigurationsandSiemens.Engineering.Upload.Configurations - For network/PROFIdrive timing — see
