Performance features of the CU320-2 Control Unit with firmware 4.3 or higher for SINAMICS S120
Characteristics Servo Control Vector Control V/f-Control Notes
Typical application
· Drives with higly
dynamic motion
control
· Angular-locked
synchronism with
isochronous
PROFIBUS / PROFINET
in conjunction with
SIMOTION
· For use in machine
tools and clocked
production machines
· Speed controlled
drives with high
speed and torque
stability in general
machanical
engineering systems
· Particulary suitable
for asynchronous
motors (induction
motors)
· Drives with low
requirements on
dynamic response
and accuracy
· Multi-motor group
drives, e.g. on textile
machines with
SIEMOSYN motors
Mixed operation of servo control
and vector control is not possible
on a single CU320-2.
Dynamic response Very high High Low Highest dynamic response with
1FK7 High Dynamic synchronous
motors and servo control.

None SIMOTION D with servo control is
standard for coordinated motion
control.
Control modes without encoder Speed control Speed control /
Torque control
All V/f control modes
With servo for asynchronous
motors (induction motors) only.
With V/f control the speed can be
kept constant by means of select-
able slip compensation.

Permissible ratio of motor rated
current to rated current of Motor
Module
1:1 to 1:4 1.3:1 to 1:4 1:1 to 1:12 Maximum control quality in the
case of servo and vector control
up to 1:4. Between 1:4 and 1:8
increasing restrictions as regards
torque and rotational accuracy.
V/f Control is recommended for
< 1:8.
Maximum number of parallel-
connected motors per Motor
Module
4 8 Unlimited in theory Motors connected in parallel must
be asynchronous (induction)
motors with identical power ratings.
With V/f control, the motors can
have different power ratings.
