SINAMICS S120 is supplemented by a wide range of motors. SINAMICS S120 optimally
supports:
● Synchronous and induction motors
● Linear and torque motors
● SINAMICS S120M
System architecture with a central Control Unit
On the SINAMICS S120, the drive intelligence is combined with closed-loop control functions
into Control Units. These units are capable of controlling drives in the vector, servo, and U/f
modes. They also perform the speed and torque control functions plus other intelligent drive
functions for all axes on the drive. Inter-axis connections can be established within a
component and easily configured in the STARTER commissioning tool using a mouse.
Functions for higher efficiency
● Basic functions: Speed control, torque control, positioning functions
● Intelligent starting functions for independent restart after power supply interruption
● BICO technology with interconnection of drive-related DI/DOs for easy adaptation of the
drive system to its machine environment
● Integrated safety functions for rational implementation of safety concepts
● Regulated infeed/regenerative feedback functions for preventing undesirable reactions on
the supply, allowing recovery of braking energy and ensuring greater stability against line
fluctuations.
DRIVE-CLiQ – the digital interface between SINAMICS components
The SINAMICS S120 components, including the motors and encoders, are interconnected via
a joint serial interface called DRIVE-CLiQ. The standardized cables and connectors reduce the
variety of different parts and cut storage costs. Encoder evaluations for converting standard
encoder signals to DRIVE-CLiQ are available for third-party motors or retrofit applications.
Electronic rating plates in all components
An important digital linkage element of the SINAMICS S120 drive system are the electronic
type plates integrated in every component. They allow all drive components to be detected
automatically via DRIVE-CLiQ wiring. As a result, data does not have to be entered manually
during commissioning or component replacement – helping to ensure that drives are
commissioned more reliably.
The rating plate contains all the relevant technical data about that particular component. In the
motors, for example, this data includes the parameters of the electric equivalent circuit diagram
and characteristic values for the built-in motor encoder.
In addition to the technical data, the type plate includes logistical data (manufacturer ID, article
number in the electronic type plate). Since this data can be called up electronically on site or
remotely, all the components used in a machine can always be individually identified, which
helps simplify servicing.
