The goal of the thesis was to build a demonstration model with an electric motor drive that includes a variable frequency drive Siemens SINAMICS G120, a three-phase induction motor, and a programmable logic controller SIMATIC S7-1215 with a Siemens TP700 Comfort Panel touchscreen. I established network communication between the devices via the industrial Ethernet protocol - PROFINET. Motor control and parameter configuration were implemented in two ways: directly through the variable frequency drive display and with the help of the programmable logic controller with a touchscreen. In the latter example, the hardware was configured in the TIA Portal. Additionally, I developed a control program that enables the demonstration of the basic functions of the converter. In this sense I created a simple user interface on the touch screen.
