You can link and extend the SIMATIC Drive Controller , for example, with HMI and I/O systems
using the wide range of communication interfaces. The drive control integrated in the
SIMATIC Drive Controller (SINAMICS Integrated) supports the following control modes:
•
Vector control
•
Servo control
•
U/f control
Vector control is recommended for drive solutions with continuous material webs, such as
wire-drawing, film and paper machines. Servo control is suitable for clocked processes with
precise yet highly dynamic position control with servo motors.
You interconnect all components of SINAMICS S120, including the motors and encoders,
using DRIVE-CLiQ. You connect motors without a DRIVE-CLiQ interface, e.g. external motors
or motors for retrofit applications, using Sensor Modules Cabinet-Mounted (SMC) or Sensor
Modules External (SME).
Line Modules feed the power to the DC link. Optionally, Line Modules with controlled
infeed/regenerative feedback ensure a constant DC-link voltage and high grid compatibility.
Motor Modules supply the motors with power from the DC link.
Terminal Modules are terminal extensions via DRIVE-CLiQ – for example, for drive-oriented
digital or analog inputs/outputs.
NOTE
SINAMICS Integrated provides a functional subset of the SINAMICS S120 CU320-2 drive
functions. The following functions/components are not supported by the integrated drive
control of the SIMATIC Drive Controller, for example:
• Free function blocks (FBLOCKS)
• SINAMICS Web server
• Output frequencies > 550Hz (High Output Frequency license)
• CU320-2 specific expansion modules, such as TB30
