SIMOTION D4x5-2 are drive-based Control Units for multi-axis systems. The individual variants essentially differ in terms of their PLC and Motion Control performance, memory size and interfaces. The main distinguishing features are:

• Available

– Not available

¹⁾ Optional second PROFINET interface via CBE30-2 (4 ports)
²⁾ For further details such as cycle times, memory configuration, etc., refer to technical specifications

The SIMOTION D425-2, D435-2, D445-2 and D455-2 Control Units feature PLC and Motion Control performance (open-loop control and Motion Control) for up to 16, 32, 64 or 128 axes, as required.

The integrated drive control enables each D4x5-2 Control Unit to operate up to 6 servo, 6 vector or 12 V/f axes.

The integrated drive control is based on the drive control of a SINAMICS S120 CU320-2 Control Unit (firmware version V4.x) and supports servo control (for a highly dynamic response), vector control (for maximum torque accuracy) and V/f control.

SIMOTION D435-2 DP/PN and D455-2 DP/PN are also available as SIPLUS version for use under harsh environmental conditions, e.g. in toxic atmospheres (for details refer to technical specifications). As BasedOn products, the SIPLUS versions have the same functionality as the standard modules and are configured in exactly the same way.

Extension of the drive computing performance

The Motion Control performance of a SIMOTION D4x5-2 can be utilized in full by expanding the computing performance at the drive in two different ways:

• SINAMICS S120 Control Units (e.g. CU320-2) can be connected together with further SINAMICS S120 drive modules via PROFINET or PROFIBUS.
• The SIMOTION CX32-2 Controller Extension can be connected over DRIVE-CLiQ. This module is extremely compact and can control up to 6 servo, 6 vector or 12 V/f axes.
