Typical design of an automation solution using SIMOTION D

SIMOTION D components and interfaces

• Various status/error displays
• Onboard digital inputs and outputs
• Option slot (receptacle, only for D4x5‑2), e.g. for expansion with additional I/Os with the TB30 Terminal Board
• Integrated communications interfaces for linking:
  • SINAMICS S120 drive modules
  • Distributed I/Os
  • HMI systems
  • PG/PC
  • Other Motion Control and automation systems
  • Other SINAMICS S110/S120 drives with digital setpoint interface
• Slot for CompactFlash card for data backup

Design of a single axis with SIMOTION D410‑2

The following components make up a SIMOTION D410‑2 single-axis system:

• A SIMOTION D410‑2 Control Unit, designed for open and closed-loop control of a single drive
• A SINAMICS S120 PM240-2 or PM340 Power Module in blocksize format, combined infeed and power module
• Other drive components, such as
  • Power supply
  • Filter
  • Reactor, etc.

The connection between SIMOTION D410-2 and the SINAMICS S120 Power Module is made with the integrated PM-IF interface or, when the CUA31/CUA32 Control Unit Adapter is used, via DRIVE-CLiQ..

Design of an axis grouping with SIMOTION D410‑2

In order to create a multi-axis grouping with SIMOTION D410-2, additional SINAMICS S110/S120 Control Units are connected to the SIMOTION D410-2 by means of PROFINET or PROFIBUS.

Motion control is performed centrally by the SIMOTION D410-2 using the SIMOTION technology objects.

Design of an axis grouping with SIMOTION D4x5‑2

The following components comprise a SIMOTION D4x5‑2 axis grouping:

• A SIMOTION D4x5-2 Control Unit, designed for open and closed-loop control of a multiple axis grouping
• A SINAMICS S120 Line Module (infeed module)
• One or more SINAMICS S120 Motor Modules (power units)
• Other drive components, such as
  • Power supply
  • Filter
  • Reactor, etc.

DRIVE-CLiQ provides the link between the SIMOTION D Control Unit and the SINAMICS S120 drive modules.

Note:
SINAMICS S120 PM240-2 Power Modules in blocksize format can be operated on a SIMOTION D4x5-2/CX32-2 with the CUA31/CUA32 Control Unit Adapters.

Expansion using I/O

SIMOTION D can be expanded with the following I/O:

• Distributed I/O systems (e.g. SIMATIC ET 200SP)
• Drive-based control cabinet I/O (e.g. TM15, TM31 Terminal Modules, etc.)
