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)
references/download.md	Startdrive-specific and common Download/Upload check configurations

Execution pattern

1. Confirm the task is drive-specific (Startdrive, SINAMICS, drive controller, PROFIdrive)
2. Read references/drives-overview.md
3. Locate the drive device in project.Devices using standard device navigation
4. Get DriveObjectContainer via GetService<>() on the device item to access DriveObjects
5. Use DriveObject.Parameters for parameter access, .Telegrams for telegram find/insert/erase/size operations
6. Use GetService<DriveFunctionInterface>() for commissioning, motor/encoder config, DFI, and drive-object activation/type handling
7. For download/upload handling, include Startdrive-specific check configurations from Siemens.Engineering.Download.Configurations and Siemens.Engineering.Upload.Configurations
8. For network/PROFIdrive timing — see tia-networks/references/subnets-and-nodes.md
