Electronic nameplate in all components
All SINAMICS S120 components have an electronic nameplate. This nameplate contains all
relevant technical data for the corresponding component. In the motors, these are, for
example, the parameters of the electrical equivalent circuit diagram and characteristic values
of the installed motor encoder. This data is recorded automatically by the control unit via
DRIVE-CLiQ and does not have to be entered during the commissioning or after
replacement.
The electronic nameplate contains not only the technical data, but also logistical data, such
as the manufacturer identification, the order number and the worldwide unique identification
number. Because these values can be fetched electronically both on-site and by remote
diagnosis, a unique identification of all components used in a machine is always possible
with the consequent simplification of the servicing.
