Overview

The intelligent, highly flexible M200D PROFIBUS/PROFINET motor starters are the most functional motor starters in the SIRIUS motor starter family in the high degree of protection IP65 for PROFIBUS/PROFINET communication.

They start and protect motors and loads up to 5.5 kW. Direct or reversing starter versions are available in mechanical and solid-state versions with soft start function.

The particularly robust M200D PROFIBUS/PROFINET motor starters are characterized by numerous functions which can be flexibly parameterized. Their modular design comprises a motor starter module and a communication module.

M200D PROFINET motor starters provide the possibility of trusted and convenient TIA-integrated planning over PROFINET from STEP7 with the same look-and-feel as PROFIBUS.

Mounting and Installation

The M200D PROFINET/PROFINET motor starter is comprised of a communication module and a motor starter module. Only the motor starter module needs to be replaced when renewing the device. This saves time and money. The communication module remains active as a station on the bus; all other system components continue to operate. This prevents downtime.

The integrated plug-in technology enables far lower wiring costs: Connecting cables can be plugged directly onto the motor starter module The PROFINET 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

All motor protection functions, limit values and reactions can be specified with parameters.

Several convenient options are available to the user for planning. The user-friendly start-up software Motor Starter ES is also available, besides direct planning in STEP 7, which also allows for automatic post-planning in the case of a device being replaced. By connecting a programming device directly to PROFIBUS/PROFINET and the Motor Starter ES start-up software, the devices can also be conveniently programmed from a central point through the bus. Parameters can also be adjusted during operation in the user program with the data set mechanism and hence the function of the motor starter be adapted to the process by requirement. Planning can also be carried out over a local point-to-point interface on-site with the help of a PC and the Motor Starter ES software.

The digital inputs and outputs can be assigned functions flexibly, and are adaptable to all conveyor system applications as a result. 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. It is designed to be compatible with other SIRIUS M200D motor starter products and the frequency converter and the ET 200pro peripheral system.

Only with M200D PROFINET motor starters

The integrate peripheral identification function ensures that the device name does not have to be assigned manually when a replacement takes place. Assignment is performed automatically by neighboring devices, which note the "names" of other neighboring devices. If a device needs to be replaced, no further commissioning work needs to be carried out.

The new generation of motor starters is characterized by its advanced functionality, maximum flexibility and high degree of automation. The PROFINET 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) ensures a broader insight into the plant by the control room, and hence increases the availability of the plant sustainably.

Operation

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

Diagnostics is possible over a variety of mechanisms and can be employed completely according to customer wishes.

The motor starter is TIA-diagnostics compatible, which means that when a fault is identified, a diagnostics alarm is distributed, which invokes the diagnostics-OB with a SIMATIC control. The fault can be evaluated as usual in the user program.

The M200D motor starter offers a variety of diagnostic data in the form of data records. The functionality provided is unique in the market. The possibility to read data on devices, plants or process monitoring out of the motor starter is comprehensive.

The motor starter is equipped internally with three logbooks for device faults, motor starter trips and events that are issued with a time stamp. These can be read out of the motor starter on the fly in the form of data records and supply the plant owner with various knowledge on the plant status and the process, and can lead to an improvement of the same.

The slave pointer and statistics data functions allow maximum internal current values or the number of switches on the motor starter to be read out for plant monitoring purposes. This allows deviations in the process to be monitored, but also optimum initial commissioning to take place. It serves to allow the user to glean knowledge on the actual device loads in the process and optimize his plant maintenance intervals as result.

The device diagnosis data record contains all statuses on the motor starter for the device state, its configuration and the communication status and serves for central device and plant monitoring.

With installation and maintenance functions (I&M), information on modules employed and data specified by the user during configuration, such as location designations, are stored in the motor starter. I&M functions are used for troubleshooting faults and localizing changes in hardware in a plant or checking the system configuration. This makes reordering a device especially easy.

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

Another new addition is the TRACE integrated into the ES motor starter software. Its serves to allow the customer to record measured values concerning the time after the triggering event. This allows process sequences to be recorded and optimized in terms of time.

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

M200D PROFINET motor starters with PROFIenergy

Increasing energy prices, far-reaching ecological problems worldwide and the threat of climate change make it necessary for you to be more conscious about your use of energy.

Active and effective energy management is possible with PROFIenergy.

PROFIenergy is a manufacturer-independent profile on PROFINET, which can be used by all manufacturers, has been standardized by PNO and supports switching off electrical devices during dead times and measuring the energy flow.

In the PNO (PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation e. V. - PROFIBUS User Organization), manufacturers and users have come together to agree on the standardized communication technologies PROFIBUS and PROFINET.

Switching off during dead times

PROFIenergy supports the targeted switching-off of consuming devices during dead times.

These can be planned short breaks of a few minutes (such as lunch breaks), longer dead times (such as nights) or unplanned dead times. Energy is always saved when no power is required.

Measuring and visualizing the energy flow as a basis of energy management

The objective of energy management is to optimize the use of energy in a company - from the purchasing of energy through to the consumption of energy - economically and ecologically.

Analyses of energy consumption over time can be used to control energy flows, avoid energy peaks, improve ratings and thus save costs.

PROFIenergy enables consumption data to be read off from the devices in a unified form. This is recorded during operation and can be displayed on a control panel, for example, or on overlying energy management software packages. This ensures that the measured variables are in a uniform manufacturer-independent form and structure that is available to the user for further processing. These PROFIenergy functions thus provide the basis for active load and energy management during operation.

PROFIenergy in the M200D PROFINET motor starter

The M200D PROFINET motor starter supports the "switching during dead times" and "current measurement values" of the motor current using PROFIenergy. These are called commands, because they trigger a reaction in the M200D motor starter.
