Hardware configuration
The SIMATIC Drive Controller controls SINAMICS Integrated over the integrated drive and
the axis group over the comprehensive range of SINAMICS S120 power units (Line Modules
and Motor Modules).
Hardware components
The basic configuration of a system with the SIMATIC Drive Controller comprises the
following components:
● SIMATIC Drive Controller
This includes the SIMATIC S7-1500 TF CPU and SINAMICS Integrated.
The SIMATIC Drive Controller can alternatively control:
– A max. of 6 servo drives; or
– A max. of 6 drives with vector control; or
– A max. of 12 drives with U/f control
● SINAMICS Line Module
The Line Module generates the DC link from the network.
● SINAMICS Motor Modules
Motor Modules are powered by the DC link and supply the connected motors.
● DRIVE-CLiQ components
In SINAMICS S120, the individual components of the drive system communicate with
each other over DRIVE-CLiQ. The SIMATIC Drive Controller has 4 DRIVE-CLiQ
interfaces. Alongside the power components, encoder systems and special DRIVE-CLiQ
I/O devices can also be connected over DRIVE-CLiQ.
Hardware configuration
You can expand the drive configuration limits of a SIMATIC Drive Controller, for example
with SINAMICS S120 control units (CU320-2) or SINAMICS S210 (for example for individual
drives). Additional SINAMICS drive systems must be connected over PROFINET if they are
operated isochronously on the MC Servo together with SINAMICS Integrated.
Computing performance at the drive cannot be increased with a SIMOTION CX32-2
Controller Extension for SIMOTION D4x5-2 control units.
Note
The PROFIBUS interface cannot be connected to other clock systems. If you expand the
drive configuration limits with distributed drive systems, those systems must be connected
over the PROFINET IO interface X150. Only PROFINET interface X150 can be connected to
the clock system of SINAMICS Integrated and the X142 technology I/Os.
