Integrated drive control

The drive control functions integrated in SIMOTION D4x5-2 Control Units are based on the drive control of a SINAMICS S120 CU320-2 Control Unit (firmware version V4.x), although there is a slight difference in functionality. For example, the integrated drive control does not have a basic positioner function (EPOS), as this is already covered by SIMOTION technology functions.

For more information, refer to the documentation for SIMOTION and SINAMICS.

SIZER for Siemens Drives engineering tool

With the SIZER for Siemens Drives engineering tool, you can easily configure, for example, the SINAMICS S110 and S120 drive families including SIMOTION. This tool supports you with the engineering of components for a Motion Control task. You can also determine the possible number of axes and the resulting utilization with SIZER for Siemens Drives in accordance with your performance requirements.

Connectors and cables

The adapter plug (Article No. 6FX2003-0BB00) is required for D4x5-2 when the bus cable has to be looped through the lefthand PROFIBUS interface (X126) (2 PROFIBUS cables wired to the plug) and also

• Ethernet interface X120, in the case of D4x5-2 DP or
• Port 3 of the PROFINET interface X150 in the case of D4x5-2 DP/PN

has to be wired to a FastConnect plug. When using the adapter plug, the PROFIBUS connector is higher, which creates extra wiring space.

Ethernet interfaces X120, X127 and X130 support 10, 100 and 1000 Mbit/s. For 1000 Mbit/s, 8-core cables (4x2) must be used as well as the 1000 Mbit version of the 180° FastConnect plug.

The 145° FastConnect plugs cannot be used for Ethernet interface X130 (cable outlet downwards). They also only support a maximum of 100 Mbit/s.
