3.3 Components and functionality
Components of a SIMATIC Drive Controller system
A drive-based solution with the SIMATIC Drive Controller is made up of the following
components:
•
Power supply for SIMATIC Drive Controller and DRIVE-CLiQ components
•
SIMATIC Drive Controller with fail-safe SIMATIC S7-1500 technology CPU and an
integrated SINAMICS S120 drive control (based on CU320-2)
•
SINAMICS S120 power units:
–
Line Modules
–
Motor Modules
•
Sensor Modules (SMx)
•
Terminal Modules (TM)
•
Motors with/without DRIVE-CLiQ
NOTE
Use of SINAMICS S220 power units
From SINAMICS firmware V5.2 SP3 HF10 onwards, the use of SINAMICS S220 power units at
the integrated SINAMICS S120 drive control of the SIMATIC Drive Controller is also possible.
For more information on the currently available module range as well as compatibility
information for use with SINAMICS S120 drive controls, see the publications on the SINAMICS
S120/S220 drive system, for example
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109806050)
WARNING
Danger to life due to unsuitable firmware version
Operation of the SINAMICS S220 Booksize component with an unsuitable firmware version
can lead to unsafe operational states, for example, overheating of converter components,
unexpected acceleration of a motor or malfunctioning of the safety functions.
Use firmware V5.2 SP3 HF10 or later.
You can expand the drive configuration limits of a SIMATIC Drive Controller by connecting
additional drive systems using PROFINET IO with IRT, e.g. SINAMICS S120 CU320-2 for control
of multiple axes or the SINAMICS S210 single-axis servo converter system.
NOTE
The PROFIBUS interface cannot be connected to other clock systems. If you expand the drive
configuration limits with distributed drive systems, those systems must be connected over
the PROFINET IO interface X150. Besides the MC-Servo, only PROFINET interface X150 can
also be coupled isochronously with the clock pulse system of SINAMICS Integrated and the
X142 technology I/Os.
