SINAMICS licenses for SINAM
ICS Integrated
The following SINAMICS functions are suppor
ted in addition for SINAMICS Integrated:
• Technology Extension DCDCCONV (DC-DC
converter)
• Technology Extension RAILCTRL (Rail Con
trol, under development)
Extended areas of application:
• Multi-carrier systems (MCS). Multi-carrier
systems are transport systems with linear
motors, which are used, for example, in
packaging machines and assembly
applications.
• With the SINAMICS Technology Extension
DCDCCONV, a Motor Module can be
employed as a chopper converter.

3.2.1 SIMATIC Drive Controller
Overview
The SIMATIC Drive Controller is a drive-based controller in the SIMATIC S7-1500 range.
A SIMATIC Drive Controller combines the following functionalities in a SINAMICS S120
Booksize Compact enclosure:
•
Fail-safe SIMATIC S7-1500 technology CPU with integrated technology I/Os
•
SINAMICS S120 drive control
The two components are referred to as "CPU" and "SINAMICS Integrated" in this
documentation.
The integrated SINAMICS S120 drive control is based on a CU320-2 Control Unit. It can
control
•
a maximum of 6 servo drives,
•
a maximum of 6 drives with vector control, or
•
a maximum of 12 drives with U/f control
Fail-safe technology CPUs are available in two performance classes. Safety Integrated on the
CPU side and drive side allows use in fail-safe applications.
The SIMATIC Drive Controller supports PROFINET and PROFIBUSDP communication.
