Description
2.1 System overview
The example shows an application with 3 axes, consisting of:
• One SIMOTION D410-2 DP (Control Unit)
format
The SIMOTION D410-2 DP is snapped directly on to the SINAMICS Power Module. The motors
are supplied with power via the Power Module. The encoder is connected by means of DRIVE-
CLiQ.
• Two SINAMICS S120 CU310‑2 DP
The Control Units are connected to the SIMOTION D410-2 DP via PROFIBUS DP. The two
SINAMICS S120 CU310‑2 DP are snapped directly on to the SINAMICS Power Module. The
motors are supplied with power via the Power Modules. The encoders are connected by
means of DRIVE-CLiQ.
Note
Path interpolation is supported as of V4.4.
Application
Combining a Power Module with SIMOTION D410-2 forms a compact single drive for machine
and plant engineering.
Applications include:
• Machine concepts with central drive (e.g. presses, printing and packaging machines, etc.)
• Modular machine concepts where the machine modules were broken down into single axes
• Single drives with high accuracy, stability and concentricity requirements (compared with
standard drives) in machine and industrial plant engineering
• Single drives for transport tasks (conveying, raising, lowering)
• Single drives with integrated PLC functionality and expanded motion control functionality
such as output cams or cams
• Drives without power recovery (wire drawing, extruding)
• Drive connections with high availability requirements (incoming supply failure may not
cause all axes to fail)
• Small multi-axis groupings (typically 2 to 3 axes) based on SINAMICS S110/120 blocksize.
Hardware components
As central hardware the SIMOTION D410-2 Control Unit is made up of the SIMOTION runtime
system and the SINAMICS drive control.
A range of additional SINAMICS S120 components, such as SMx encoder systems or Terminal
Modules can be connected via DRIVE‑CLiQ.
With a few exceptions (e.g. no BOP20 Basic Operator Panel, etc.), the drive control integrated in
SIMOTION D410-2 has the same control properties and performance features as the
SINAMICS S120 CU310-2 Control Unit.
