Example: Group of 12 axes with SIMOTION D4x5-2 and SIMOTION CX32-2 Controller Extension

The SIMOTION CX32?2 Controller Extension is connected to the SIMOTION D4x5?2 via DRIVE?CLiQ.

In this way, a very compact axis grouping can be implemented, for example, with 12 servo axes.

If required, several SIMOTION CX32?2 Controller Extensions can be operated on one SIMOTION D4x5?2 Control Unit.

• Max. 3 CX32?2 units on one SIMOTION D425?2
• Max. 5 CX32?2 units on one SIMOTION D435?2, D445?2 or D455?2

In principle, a 4th or 6th CX32?2 Controller Extension can also be connected. In this case, no drives / drive components can be connected any longer to the integrated drive control of the SIMOTION D4x5?2. All drives must then be operated via the connected Controller Extensions. This can be useful, for example, when implementing distributed, modular machine concepts .

Additional drive controls can be implemented with SINAMICS S110/S120 Control Units via PROFINET or PROFIBUS.

Note

The SIMOTION CX32?2 Controller Extension can only be used with SIMOTION D4x5?2 Control Units. Operation with SIMOTION D4x5 Control Units is not possible.

The SIMOTION CX32 Controller Extension must be used for the SIMOTION D435 and D445-1 Control Units (Article No. 6SL3040-0NA00-0AA0).
