SINAMICS drives for Motion Control - S120 multi-axis drives (DC/AC)

Thanks to its modular design, the SINAMICS S120 drive system can be perfectly adapted to a wide range of different drive tasks and is the ideal drive for Motion Control with SIMOTION. A SINAMICS S120 multi-axis system comprises a Control Unit, an infeed and several Motor Modules, which are coupled via a shared DC link. The SINAMICS CU320-2 Control Unit controls multiple drives and the supply/feedback into the line system. Instead of this Control Unit, a SIMOTION D module, in which the functionality of the CU320-2 Control Unit is integrated, can be used. Therefore, the complete system (consisting of the open-loop control and the drive) is extremely compact and powerful.

Symbolic assignment facilitates the configuration of the technological relationships, including communication between SIMOTION and the SINAMICS S120 drives. As a result, only compatible assignment partners are offered in an assignment dialog, axis telegrams and addresses are automatically set up, telegrams are expanded depending on the selected technology, and the assignments in the drive are automatically created. All the relevant parameters of the complete drive train are automatically balanced between SIMOTION and SINAMICS S120.

• Power range: 0.9 ... 800 kW at line voltage 380 … 480 V 3 AC
• Power range: 75 ... 1500 kW at line voltage 500 … 690 V 3 AC
• Interface to SIMOTION via PROFINET or PROFIBUS, for SIMOTION D via DRIVE-CLiQ

SINAMICS drives for Motion Control - S120M motor-integrated drives

The SINAMICS S120M drives are ready-to-connect drive units, comprising synchronous servomotors with multi-turn absolute encoders and an integrated power unit (Motor Module), as a distributed expansion of the SINAMICS S120 multi-axis system. The power unit moves from the control cabinet to the motor and is directly integrated in the driven axis. This brings advantages and freedoms for existing or new machine concepts. An AM600 adapter moduleand a hybrid cable are required for integration in the SINAMICS S120 multi-axis system. Central communication is handled by the CU320-2 Control Unit or SIMOTION D.

• Power range: 0.25 ... 1.5 kW at line voltage 380 … 480 V 3 AC
• Interface to SIMOTION via PROFINET or PROFIBUS, for SIMOTION D via DRIVE-CLiQ

SINAMICS drives for Motion Control - S120 single-axis drives (AC/AC)

The SINAMICS S120 single-axis drives comprise a CU310-2 Control Unit and a PM240-2 Power Module or a Power Module in chassis format. The electrical and mechanical connection between the Control Unit and Power Module is implemented via a system interface. Instead of the CU310-2, a SIMOTION D410-2 module with integrated SINAMICS control or a CUA31 or CUA32 Control Unit Adapter can be used. Thanks to the Control Unit Adapter, SINAMICS S120 single-axis drives can be operated via DRIVE-CLiQ with CU320-2 Control Units or with SIMOTION D4x5-2 modules.

• Power range: 0.55 ... 4 kW at line voltage 200 … 240 V 1 AC
• Power range: 0.55 ... 55 kW at line voltage 200 … 240 V 3 AC
• Power range: 0.55 ... 250 kW at line voltage 380 … 480 V 3 AC
• Power range: 11 ... 132 kW at line voltage 500 … 690 V 3 AC
• Interface to SIMOTION via PROFINET or PROFIBUS or DRIVE-CLiQ when using a Control Unit Adapter

SINAMICS drives for Motion Control - S110 single-axis drives (AC/AC)

The SINAMICS S110 single-axis drives consist of a CU305 Control Unit and a PM240-2 Power Module.

The communication between SIMOTION and the CU305 Control Unit can take place via PROFINET or PROFIBUS, with a minimum bus cycle of 1 ms. Alternatively, the setpoints can also be specified via a pulse-direction interface (max. 500 kHz).

• Power range: 0.55 ... 4 kW at line voltage 200 … 240 V 1 AC
• Power range: 0.55 ... 132 kW at line voltage 380 … 480 V 3 AC
• Interface to SIMOTION via PROFINET or PROFIBUS, for SIMOTION C also pulse-direction interface

Technology object "Axis"

SIMOTION provides functions for controlling and monitoring a SINAMICS drive via the technology object "Axis". The following axis technologies are distinguished during the configuration phase:

Drive axis
Motion Control is performed using a speed setpoint without position control. For a drive axis, any drive that supports telegram 1 or 2 as per the PROFIdrive profile can be used, e.g. a SINAMICS G converter.

Positioning axis, synchronous axis, path axis
Motions are position-controlled. To this end, the drive must provide an actual position value which SIMOTION uses along with other signals to coordinate the axes. SINAMICS S drives must be used for these axes.
