5.2 Configuring workflow
Motion Control
Servo drives are optimized for motion control applications. They execute linear or rotary
movements within a defined movement cycle. All movements should be optimized in terms
of time.
As a result of these considerations, servo drives must meet the following requirements:
● High dynamic response, i.e. short rise times
● Capable of overload, i.e. a high reserve for accelerating
● Wide control range, i.e. high resolution for precise positioning
General procedure when engineering
The function description of the machine provides the basis when engineering the drive
application. The definition of the components is based on physical interdependencies and is
usually carried-out as follows:
Description of the engineering activity
See following
sections
Clarify the type of drive/infeed type
2. Define the supplementary conditions and integrate the drive/infeed into an
automation system
Define the load, calculate the max. load torque and select the motor
See
Catalog
4. Select a SINAMICS Motor Module
Repeat step 3 and step 4 for additional axes
6. Calculate the required DC link power and select an appropriate SINAMICS
Select the line-side options (main switch, fuses, line filters, etc.)
8. Select a Control Unit based on the specification of the required control per-
formance, and define the component cabling
Define and select the additional system components
10. Calculate the current demand of the 24 V DC supply for the components
and specify the power supplies (SITOP devices, control supply modules)
Select the components for the connection system
Configurate the components of the drive line-up
