2nd Quarter 2017Electrical switching & drive systems & components
The performance optimised and easy to operate servodrive system from Siemens consists of a Sinamics V90 servo-converter and a Simotics S-1FL6 servomotor and is now also available with Profinet, the Ethernet standard for automation. This gives the machine superior speed and precision. The portfolio has also been expanded with the addition of an incremental encoder with 21-bit resolution.
In addition to the familiar 400-V versions with higher moments of inertia, there are versions with 200-V converters and motors with lower shaft heights and lower moments of inertia. The 200-V converters are up to 25% smaller, thus saving additional space in the control cabinet. Thanks to the motor’s lower moment of inertia, it is possible to perform many simple motion control tasks cost effectively, focusing on dynamic movements and processing. The different converter sizes and motor shaft heights allow a broad range of applications, such as positioning, moving and conveying.
With a total of eight available converter sizes and seven motor shaft heights, the system covers a power range of 0,05 to 7,0 kW and is suitable for single-phase and three-phase grids. Together with the Simatic S7-1200 Basic Controller and the Simatic S7-1500/1500 T-CPU Advanced Controller, the Sinamics V90 servodrive system with Profinet offers a perfectly coordinated motion control solution that can be integrated into the Siemens TIA Portal.
