Example: SINAMICS S210 converter, frame size FSA with SIMOTICS S‑1FK2 servomotor, shaft height 30

The new servo drive system comprises a SINAMICS S210 servo converter, a SIMOTICS S‑1FK2 servomotor and a matching One Cable Connection (OCC) for connecting the motor to the converter. The SINAMICS S210 is a single axis AC/AC servo converter system with high performance and dynamic response for mid-range Motion Control applications.

SINAMICS S210 servo converters are available for line voltages of 200 ... 240 V 1 AC, and the SIMOTICS S‑1FK2 servo motors for a performance range from 0.05 ... 0.75 kW with shaft heights of 20 mm, 30 mm and 40 mm in the High Dynamic (HD) and Compact (CT) versions.

The SINAMICS S210 can be used in numerous applications. Typical applications are:

• Packaging machines
• Handling equipment
• Feed and withdrawal devices
• Stacking units
• Automatic assembly machines
• Laboratory automation
• Woodworking, glass and ceramic industries
• Digital printing machines

Flexible in application

The SINAMICS S210 is a flexible, versatile system. SINAMICS S‑1FK2 series synchronous servomotors are installed in rotary and linear axes. The integrated One Cable Connection (OCC) interface allows user-friendly connection of a SIMOTICS S‑1FK2 motor with just one cable. The electronic motor rating plate data can be read out, which removes the need for configuration of the motor and encoder. This significantly simplifies and shortens commissioning.

In conjunction with the technological functions of the higher level controller, there are many possibilities of motion – everything is possible, such as continuous operation, positioning and synchronous operation, and coordinated motion of multiple axes via cyclic cams or interpolation.

The SINAMICS S210 converter has an integrated PROFINET communications interface for connecting to a control system.

The data exchange with the higher-level controllers takes place via standardized protocols – the PROFIdrive profile for positioning mode and the PROFIsafe profile for safety-related communication.

Thus, operation is optimally ensured with the SIMATIC S7 automation system. The drive axis is connected via technology objects and Motion Control blocks in the SIMATIC S7 or a SIMOTION controller.

High performance for fast and precise control

The high performance of the SINAMICS S210 servo drive system in conjunction with the SIMOTICS S‑1FK2 servomotor derives from the following features:

• Low moment of inertia and high overload capability of the motor
• High-resolution encoder with fast scanning
• Current controller clock cycle of 62.5 Ојs and a pulse frequency of 8 kHz of the servo converter

This enables short cycle times on the machine even with complex motion control.

Optimized connection technology with One Cable Connection (OCC)

SINAMICS S210 M12 OCC connecting cable

Motor and converter are simply connected to one another by one instead of the usual two or three cables. With this One Cable Technology, energy supply, encoder signals and braking signal are brought together in a single cable. This results in the following advantages:

• Time-saved by laying only one cable
• Smaller installation space and space requirement in cable collars, tight bending radii
• Only one cable has to be cleaned. This is advantageous, e.g. in the pharmaceutical industry and where higher requirements are placed upon hygiene
• Can be ordered to the decimeter
• Motor-side M12 (smallest OCC connector worldwide) and M17 connection plugs
• Rotatable connectors on the motor side
• Motor with very low interfering contour for restricted installation space.

Cables are available in two different qualities:

• MOTION-CONNECT 500
• MOTION-CONNECT 800PLUS

As well as the prefabricated cable, individual components (connectors and goods sold by the meter) can also be ordered for self assembly.

Easy commissioning due to web server and One Button Tuning

One button tuning

The web server of the converter offers a simple means of parameter assignment. The web server allows commissioning purely oriented on the functionality of the drive. With the web server, the SINAMICS S210 servo drive system can be brought into operation with a few clicks.

As a result of reading the electronic rating plate of the connected SIMOTICS S‑1FK2 servomotor, only a few operator actions, such as automatic controller optimization with One Button Tuning, are necessary, as the motor and encoder are automatically detected. The controller parameters are automatically optimized. The three selectable dynamic levels of the controller can optimally take into account the desired behavior of the connected mechanisms.

A motion of the axis can take place directly via the control panel during commissioning.

The customer benefits from the web server in many ways:

• Commissioning can also be easily done in places difficult to access, as the web server in the converter can also be accessed directly via PROFINET from the controller.
• The web server provides full diagnostic capability without the need for additional software.
• Commissioning and diagnostics can also be done without a cable vie mobile terminal devices, such as laptops, smart phones and tablets (an additional WLAN access point is necessary).
• Intuitive user interface

Diagnostics

Faults and warnings are shown on the display located under the front flap, and they can be acknowledged with the Acknowledge button. Extensive diagnostics with plain text messages for cause and remedy information is possible via the web server.

Safety Integrated

The integrated safety functions can provide highly effective application-oriented protection for personnel and machinery (terms as defined in IEC 61800‑52).

The following Safety Integrated Basic functions are included as a standard:

• Safe Torque Off (STO)
• Safe Brake Control (SBC)
• Safe Stop 1 (SS1)

The following Safety Integrated extended functions ¹⁾ are available as options:

• Safe Stop 2 (SS2)
• Safe Operating Stop (SOS)
• Safely-Limited Speed (SLS)
• Safe Speed Monitor (SSM)
• Safe Direction (SDI)

The Safety Integrated functions are fully integrated into the drive system. They can be activated via fail-safe digital inputs on the converter (only STO and SS1) or via PROFINET with PROFIsafe.

The Safety Integrated functions are implemented electronically and therefore offer short response times in comparison to solutions with externally implemented monitoring functions.

¹⁾ Available soon. The extended functions require safety-capable motors.

Perfect combination with SIMATIC S7‑1500, SIMATIC S7‑1500 T‑CPU and PROFINET

It communicates with the higher-level control via PROFINET IRT. SIMATIC S7‑1500, SIMATIC S7‑1500 T‑CPU and SIMOTION can be used as controllers for the optimal interaction between controller and the SINAMICS S210 servo drive system.

The SINAMICS S210 servo converter has an integrated PROFINET communications interface with a cycle of up to 250 Ојs for connecting to a control system.

Standardized protocols for linking to a higher-level control with RT and IRT are supported – the PROFIdrive profile for positioning mode and the PROFIsafe profile with DSC for safety-related communication. Functions, such as Shared Device, ring redundancy and PROFIenergy, are also possible.

Everything from one source: Through the use of Motion Control functionalities in the controller, the combination of converter and SIMATIC S7 automation system or a SIMOTION controller allows ideally harmonized engineering. As a result, commissioning times are shortened.

Via technology objects and Motion Control blocks of the higher level controller, there are many possibilities of motion, such as continuous operation, positioning and synchronous operation, and coordinated motion of multiple axes via cyclic cams or interpolation.
