Overview

The M200D motor starter versions SIRIUS M200D, AS-i Basic and SIRIUS M200D AS-i standard (for basic functionality see M200D motor starters, General data.) exist for motor control via AS-Interface.

SIRIUS M200D AS-i Basic

Functionality

• Easy and fast on-site start-up through the parameterization of local setting elements (DIP switches) and rotary coding switches for adjusting the rated operational current. The rotary coding switch features an OFF position to deactivate the overload protection with the help of the thermic motor model when using a temperature sensor.

Communication

• AS-i communication with A/B addressing according to Spec V2.1
• The AS-i bus is connected cost-effectively using an M12 connection on the device. Of the four digital inputs, two are contained in the process image and can therefore be used in the PLC program. The other two inputs are locally effective and permanently assigned with functions.
• The LEDs can provide comprehensive diagnostics of the device on the spot. In addition to diagnostics using the PAE process image, the device can create up to 15 different diagnostic signals per slave. The message with the highest priority can be read out through the AS-i communication. This is yet another new development which distinguishes the M200D AS-i Basic motor starter from the rest of the market and adds innovative technology, maximum availability and transparency to the system.

SIRIUS M200D AS-i Standard

The intelligent and highly flexible M200D AS-i standard motor starter in A/B technology starts and protects motors and loads up to 5.5 kW. A direct or reversing starter version is available in mechanical and solid-state versions with soft start function.

The M200D AS-i standard motor starter is the mostly highly functional motor starter in the SIRIUS Motor starter family in a high degree of protection (IP65) for AS-i communication. It is designed to be compatible with other SIRIUS M200D motor starter products and the frequency converter and the ET200pro peripheral system.

Functionality

• AS-i communication with A/B addressing according to Spec 3.0
• Electronic version also with soft start function
• AS-i slave profile 7AE/7A5 with process image 6E/4A
• Full TIA integration: All digital inputs and outputs are available in the cyclical process image and visible over AS-i so that maximum flexibility and perfect adaptability to the application is provided for
• Additional extended diagnostics per data record over AS-i bus
• Complete plant monitoring per statistic data record and current value monitoring with data records
• Planning via AS-i bus with the help of data records or an extended process image from the user program
• Control of the motor starter with a command data record from the user program
• Flexible allocation of the digital inputs and outputs with all available and assignable input actions
• Planning via Motor Starter ES on the local interface (order option: start-up software)
• Diagnostics with the help of Motor Starter ES (order option: start-up software)

Mounting and Installation

The M200D motor starters can be installed with a few manual steps. The integrated plug-in technology enables far lower wiring costs. Connecting cables can be plugged directly onto the motor starter module Factory-fitted cables prevent mistakenly swapping connection cables and malfunctioning in the plant. The AS-i bus is connected cost-effectively using an M12 connection on the device. All versions feature identical enclosure sizes, which simplifies system design and conversion.

Planning and configuration

The particularly robust M200D AS-i Standard motor starter is characterized by its numerous planable and flexible functions. It provides the option of highly flexible planning via AS-i bus from the user program using data records, both conveniently and locally via the Motor Starter ES start-up software over the local point-to-point interface on-site.

The digital inputs and outputs can be assigned functions flexibly, and are adaptable to all conveyor system applications as a result. All motor protection functions, limit values and reactions can be specified with parameters. The AS-i Standard is one of a kind. In its 6E/4A process image, the motor starter sends all four digital inputs and the digital output via the process image to the PLC in cyclic mode. Last but not least a whole series of CAX data simplifies plant configuration and documentation.

Operation

The new generation of motor starters is characterized by its advanced functionality, maximum flexibility and high degree of automation.

All digital inputs and outputs are available in the cyclical process image. All limit values for monitoring functions and their reaction are planable and therefore adaptable to the application. The motor starters record the actual current flow. Evaluating the current of the planable solid-state overload protection increases the availability of the drives, as do reliable messages concerning the overranging or underranging of setpoint values.

Diagnostics and maintenance

The M200D sets new standards when it comes to diagnostics. Besides diagnostics with the PAE process image and with "Parameterecho" (up to 15 different diagnostic signals can be read out per slave via AS-i Communication), the opportunity to read out diagnostic data records is unique in the market.

The AS-i standard is especially recommended for large-scale and highly automated system components, since the possibility of monitoring the devices or plants with data records (statistical data, measured values and devices diagnoses) caters for a broader insight into the plant by the control room, and hence ensures that monitoring takes place, and increases the availability of the plant sustainably.

Preventive maintenance can be carried out with the integrated maintenance timer and plant downtimes prevented as a result in advance.

Local control of a drive is possible using the ordering option with integrated manual operation is yet another new development which distinguishes the M200D AS-i Standard motor starter from the rest of the market and adds innovative technology, maximum availability and transparency to the system.
