Memory cards

A memory card (SINAMICS SD card) can be optionally used with SINAMICS S210. The associated slot is located under the front flap of the converter. Not only the firmware but also the device parameterization of a SINAMICS S210 servo converter can be stored on the memory card.

When service is required, e.g. after the converter has been replaced and the data have been downloaded from the memory card, the drive system is immediately ready for use again.

A memory card is only absolutely necessary, if functions under license, such as the Extended Safety functions, are used. The necessary license is saved on the memory card.

Line filter

Filters are already integrated in order to achieve Class C2 (for motor cable lengths up to 10 m (32.8 ft)). Further requirements can be achieved using an external line filter.

Braking resistors

As far as necessary, braking resistors are integrated into the converters. Together with the generously dimensioned DC link capacities, an external braking resistor is not necessary in the normal case.

If the internal braking resistor is inadequate for applications with very high requirements, an external braking resistor can be connected as an alternative.
