Integration of the SINAMICS drive I/O in a SIMOTION system

Two main options are available for SIMOTION for integrating the SINAMICS drive I/O via DRIVE?CLiQ:

• System configuration with integrated drives:
  In this configuration, the drive I/O are connected directly to SIMOTION D or to the SIMOTION CX32?2 Controller Extension (not shown in the figure).
• System configuration with external drives:
  In this configuration, the drive I/O are connected to a SINAMICS CU310?2 or CU320?2 Control Unit, which is connected to SIMOTION C, P or D (see figure) via PROFIBUS DP or via PROFINET IO.

Use of the TM41 as incremental encoder emulation

The TM41 Terminal Module supplies TTL signals for incremental encoder emulation, e.g. for a higher-level control. The encoder interface (incremental encoder emulation) can be linked to an encoder signal from the Control Unit, e.g. incremental encoder sin/cos, by parameter assignment.

Alternatively, as far as SIMOTION is concerned, TM41 can be handled in the same manner as an axis. This allows you to return the axis position (a master value) as an encoder signal to a second controller, for example.
