Basic information about the drive system
12.12 System sampling times and number of controllable drives
Using EPOS
The following table lists the number of axes that can be operated with a SINAMICS S120
when using a basic positioning system (EPOS). The number of axes is dependent on the
current controller clock cycle.

The CPU processing time required for the function module EPOS (with 1 ms position
controller/4 ms positioner) corresponds to the same CPU processing time of 0.5 U/f axes
with 500 μs.
Using CUA31/CUA32
Information on using the Control Unit Adapter CUA31 or CUA32:
● CUA31/32 is the first component in the CUA31/32 topology: 5 axes
● CUA31/32 is not the first component in the CUA31/32 topology: 6 axes
● For a current controller cycle of 62.5 µs, only 1 axis is possible with one CUA31/32.
12.12.2
Setting the sampling times
The sampling times for:
● Current controller (p0115[0])
● Speed controller (p0115[1])
● Flux controller (p0115[2])
● Setpoint channel (p0115[3])
● Position controller (p0115[4])
● Positioner (p0115[5])
● Technology controller (p0115[6])
are set by selecting the appropriate values in p0112 for the closed-loop control configuration
in µs and are copied to p0115[0...6] depending on the performance levels required. The
performance levels range from xLow to xHigh.
Details of how to set the sampling times are given in the SINAMICS S120/S150 List Manual.
