5.2.4  Extending an existing PROFIBUS message frame for the drive 
Introduction 
The previous section showed you how to extend the PROFIdrive communication between 
SINAMICS S120 and the Technology CPU with complete message frames to use additional 
components. 
In addition, the message frames for the previously configured components 
(drives, technology modules, etc.) can be extended. This allows, for example, 
drive parameters in the PROFIBUS message frame to be interconnected to permit their 
value to be fetched cyclically by other PROFIBUS nodes (e.g. Technology CPU). 
Procedure 
To extend the standard message frame 105 for drive_1 to include an actual value, follow 
these steps: 
1. In S7T Config, open the message frame configuration of SINAMICS S120. 
2. Click "Align message frame with HW Config: Set up addresses". 
Check that the Siemens message frame 105 is entered for the "Drive_1" entry. 
Note 
After the alignment, you will have to close the "Message frame configuration" dialog. 
Otherwise subsequent changes in the hardware configuration will not be considered 
and may be discarded.
