6.2 Procedure when engineering

6.2.1 SINAMICS con󹪝guring procedure

Motion Control

1PH8 motors are optimized for motion control applications. They execute linear or rotary

movements within a de󹪝ned movement cycle. All movements must be performed in a time-

optimized manner. As a result of these considerations, 1PH8 motors must meet the following

requirements:

• High dynamic response, e.g. short rise times

• Capable of overload, i.e. high acceleration margin

• Wide control range, i.e. high resolution for precise positioning.

The following table "Con󹪝guring procedure" is applicable for induction, synchronous-

reluctance and synchronous motors.

General procedure when engineering

The function description of the machine provides the basis when engineering the drive

application. The components are selected according to physical interdependencies and the

selection process is usually carried out in the following sequence of steps:

Table 6-1 Planning

Step Description of con󹪝guration activity 

1. Clari󹪝cation of type of drive See the next

chapter

2. De󹪝nition of supplementary conditions and integration into an automation system

3. De󹪝nition of the load, calculation of the maximum load torque and selection of the motor

4. Selection of the SINAMICS Motor Module See

catalog

5. Repetition of steps 3 and 4 for additional axes

6. Calculation of the required DC link power and selection of the SINAMICS Line Module

7. Selection of the line-side options (main switch, fuses, line 󹪝lters, etc.)

8. Speci󹪝cation of the required control performance and selection of the Control Unit, de󹪝nition of

component cabling

9. De󹪝nition of other system components (e.g. braking resistors)

10. Calculation of the current demand of the 24 V DC supply for the components and speci󹪝cation

of the power supplies (SITOP devices, Control Supply Modules)

11. Selection of the components for the connection system

12. Con󹪝guration of drive line-up components

13. Calculation of the required cable cross sections for power supply and motor connections

14. Inclusion of mandatory installation clearances
