Decentralised Drives

Overview

The SINAMICS G110M distributed frequency converters are the solution for drive tasks in which a motor integrated frequency converter is required. With different device versions (frame sizes FSA to FSB) in a power range from 0.37 kW to 4 kW, the SINAMICS G110M is suitable for a wide variety of drive solutions. SINAMICS G110M supports continuous speed control of three-phase asynchronous motors and fulfills all the requirements of conveyor system applications from simple speed control through to demanding sensorless vector control. It can be integrated seamlessly into the system thanks to its compact design in IP65/IP66 degree of protection.

Through the integrated functions such as Quick Stop and the limit switch function, the SINAMICS G110M is particularly suited for conveyor system applications.

For applications that require safety engineering, the SINAMICS G110M has the integrated STO function (Safe Torque Off 1)), which can be implemented without further external components. Integration via PROFINET, PROFIBUS, Ethernet/IP, Modbus RTU, AS-Interface or USS into a higher-level SIMATIC controller is very easy thanks to complete TIA Portal integration 1) – one tool and one operating and data storage concept.

Reasons for using distributed drive systems

  • Modular drive solutions – therefore standardized mechatronic elements that can be individually tested
  • No need for a cabinet, resulting in a smaller space requirement and less cooling
  • Long cables between the converter and motor can be avoided (which means lower power losses, reduced interference emission and lower costs for shielded cables and additional filters)
  • Considerable benefits for conveyor systems with their extensive coverage (e.g. in the automotive and logistics industries)

Siemens family of distributed drives

Siemens offers an innovative portfolio of frequency converters to optimally implement distributed drive solutions. The strengths of the individual members of the drive family permit simple adaptation to the widest range of application demands:

  • Identical connection systems
  • Standard commissioning and configuration tools

Products from the family of distributed drives:

  • SINAMICS G110M frequency converters
  • SINAMICS G110D frequency converters
  • SINAMICS G120D frequency converters
  • SIMATIC ET 200pro FC-2 frequency converters
  • SIRIUS M200D motor starters

Modularity

SINAMICS G110M is a modular, motor integrated converter system with IP65/66 degree of protection comprising various function units. The main units are:

  • Control Unit (CU)
  • Power Module (PM)

The Control Unit controls and monitors the Power Module and the connected motor using several different closed-loop control types that can be selected. The digital and analog inputs and digital outputs on the device support the simple wiring of sensors and actuators directly at the drive. The input signals can either be directly linked within the Control Unit and initiate local responses independently or they can be transferred to the central control via PROFIBUS, PROFINET or AS-Interface for further processing within the context of the overall plant.

The Power Module supplies the motor in a performance range from 0.37 kW to 4 kW. The Power Module is controlled by a microprocessor in the Control Unit. State-of-the-art IGBT technology with pulse width modulation is used for highly reliable and flexible motor operation. Comprehensive protection functions provide a high degree of protection for the Power Module and the motor. The latest technical documentation (catalogs, dimensional drawings, certificates, manuals and operating instructions) is available on the Internet at the following address:
